Learning New Tricks....

What a day! Joel was up early and in a foul mood. He is chewing on everything and keeps poking his gums with his fingers. Poor little guy....I think his new teeth are hurting him. Anyway, most of our day was spent listening to him yell and cry. He finally took a nap and was a little better when he woke up, so that was good. He has not been eating very well, but that improved today. This evening we went and visited a family friend and when we got back we let Joel wander around outside for a while. That is his new favorite thing....he just wants to wander around the yard, touching all the bushes and grabbing the grass. He enjoyed playing with his wagon. He actually prefers to push and pull the wagon himself rather than riding in it! That kept him entertained for quite a while. Also, Rob let Joel hold Bailey's retractable leash while he was wandering around and he LOVED it! Bailey was amazingly tolerant of this, and Joel giggled the whole time. He definitely wants to do things himself with no help. I took some pictures but I think they are too blurry to post. I'll take another look amd post some if I can. More later....
