We shall keep Ellie

Ellie and Bear inspect John Dickson pretty closely from time to time, giving him a good sniffing over just in case we've switched babies on them. They also give his little (big!) feet kisses, because hey, who wouldnt? But John Dickson's first real interaction with the dogs came last night. Ellie stood there while John Dickson yanked on her ears, then pulled on her bottom eye lid (literally) and then grabbed her nose and tried to eat it. (Obviously at this point we had to pull him away...) But Ellie stood there and just took it. And when he would let go, she didn't even try to move away. It was really sweet to watch. We'll keep her afterall.

The downside to this, of course, is that Ellie feels she has bonded with the baby and is now entitled to sleep in his nursery. She thinks she's being sneaky, but we most definitely hear her over the monitor. It sounds like a little like Darth Vader is in there.

And in other dog news, "maybe Nana" and Lacey came last night, and John Dickson was fascinated by Lacey. He is use to dogs, but not ones that are smaller than his stuffed animals. So I assume he thought Lacey was a fun toy, as he would squeal everytime he saw her, and was looking for her when he couldn't see her.

We'll try to get these these things on video tonight and see if you cant see for yourself...
