This morning I left Jasmine home to watch Ellie while I took my three youngest kids to the eye doctor. Not much has changed with Nate or Hannah, but Ben will be getting a new pair of glasses soon. His old ones are pretty beat up and he wears them mostly when he watches TV. Troy had a nice visit at Bethany's house while we were reading eye charts.
It was a good afternoon to catch up on some lost sleep, dark and somewhat overcast. While Troy took his nap on one couch, I took a nap on the other. Hopefully we will get something of value accomplished tomorrow, like school. On Friday Nate, Ben and Hannah get to visit the dentist. Oh, happy day!
Troy thinks Sofie is very cute and its fun to watch him with her. He is very gentle and seldom needs a reminder to be careful. He is slightly nervous when it comes to her puppy way of bouncing around and biting at feet and hands. He has called her "Ellie" a couple dozen times and "Pluto" a few too. It will take some time for him to remember her name, I guess.
Troy was very good friends with Ellie and still misses her. When he first saw Sofie on Tuesday morning, he asked if it was a baby Ellie. Alysa is a little more overwhelming when it comes to pets. Even though she is seven, I have to keep an eye on her. (I have my eye on Troy too, just in case you're wondering.)
