The silly bugs are playing like crazy and the Little Bean pasy them no mind whatsoever. The Husband dressed her today, that is why she looks like a boy.
The Big Bean is wearing Mardi Gras beads that her little sister put on her. Those Mardi Gras beads are all over this house and she makes all of us wear them.

Since the Puppy Bean has come to live with us, just a few short months ago, his behavior has improved greatly. The thing is, his size has also increased, so when he does bad dog things, the annoyance is multiplied.

His chewing on the hands and feet of his family as well as the baby has decreased dramatically. He is finally learning the concept of stay or wait. I have even managed to get him to wait for his food and to sit and wait to go outside when I have the door open. This is not easy for him and he actually makes noises in his throat as he struggles to behave. This is a huge feat and we are very proud of the Puppy Bean's progress.

There isn't any change in things like his fear of the mop, the broom, and anything else on a stick. Not sure where that came from, maybe his dumpster childhood. He gets so afraid when I mop or sweep the kitchen that he runs either into the garage and hides under the car or upstairs and hides under the bed. That bed is getting to be a dangerous hiding place since he tends to get stuck under there.

He has developed a new annoying habit of jumping all over the place. We have to remind him firmly that jumping isn't very nice. Hopefully he will grow out of this habit as well. If not, we will have a serious issue as he continues to grow at exponential rates!
