Chipper's Safe Place

Chipper is incredibly scared of thunder (and fireworks). He trembles, pants, paces, and pees. Last year on the 4th of July, Chipper's friend Melvin was visiting and taught him how to jump on the couch to ease his anxiety. He now does this often when it thunders. Thanks for the tip, Melvin! :) Tonight, however, the thunder has been over for a considerable amount of time and guess who is still parked on the sofa.

Um yeah, guys, I'm still scared over here. ZZZZZZZ

Book Review

My friend Sarah does a book review on her blog, and suggested I do the same, so here is my first one. Pre-baby, I used to read about 15-20 books over the summer, and so far I have read ONE, but I am hoping to get a few more in!

This book was about a wife in a polygamous marriage in Utah who is accused of killing her husband. It goes back and forth between the current situation and the beginnings of polygamy in the Mormon church in the 1800's. I learned a lot about the beginnings of Mormonism, which was interesting. I thought this was a good book, although it did take me forever to finish. I would give it a 3.5 out of 5 stars.

Oh, the irony!

Miss Evelyn is still trying to figure out her nighttime sleep schedule. She has only been sleeping about 4 hours at a time, but last night she (randomly) slept from 9:30 to 4:00. The ironic thing? I woke up at 3:00 and laid there wondering when she was going to wake up and couldn 't get back to sleep. Pure torture!
