This is the age at which these babies start to really learn fast. Its a challenge to outsmart them sometimes. Yesterday morning, and every morning now for the past week or so, they have been up at about 6. I usually hear Mr Oliver first, singing his morning songs. Usually, they go back to sleep and settle down after 5 or 10 minutes, but yesterday morning, after about 15 minutes of singing at 5:45 am, they just went dead quiet and I thought...."finally, I can catch another bit of sleep". But then i heard a different noise. It went pitter patter, pitter patter, pitter patter. And then more pitter patter, pitter patter, pitter patter.....pitter patter, pitter patter, pitter patter. I realized something was amis. I got up to find all four had figured out how to bust out of the pen and they were running through the house, having just a BLAST! fun, but not safe. so I resigned to getting up and got them all corralled again, and started making their breakfasts. When my roommate got home after being out for an hour later yesteday, she found the same thing! Free Puppies! So, last night involved strategic placement of two kitchen chairs and some duct tape (just kidding) to make sure they were kept confined. Well, Mr Oliver did NOT like that. He LOVES freedom. He let me know with about 30 minutes of singing at 5:45 am this morning. And, he appears to have taught his song to his littermates, and let me tell you, they are NOT candidates for Canadian Idol!
