V. happy that Buddy is going so good! great that you´re strict...choose a rule and stick to it hey? don´t get stressed when it all goes a bit backwards...it´ll swing around a bit...don´t let him bite.....it´s cute now, but it´s too much for kids later and quite hard to stop...get him toys....

All is good here, Jake now knows day from night, drinks regularly, sleeps great, and is the little lovely of the fam.
Christophs back which makes life easier, but he also needs some time to adapt to family stuff (too long in a hotel!) and we alwasy have a couple of rage days where I 'pay him back' for being away...but after many years we have this down to a quick 48hours

hows your brood? i think it´s easier to chat on FB. hey?

Annie
