We surprised Millie with Ivy a day after returning from Iowa, where we had spent Christmas weekend. She was delighted, but it's been a tough transition. I don't know how you moms do it when both kids want something from you at the same time. Millie has been especially needy and tired from being at Spanish Camp all day, so between that and letting Ivy out every hour while she is being potty trained, I am exhausted and a bit stressed but it's been really, really fun. Ivy is adorable, sweet and cuddly. She plays hard and then crashes for hours, preferably while touching some part of you. She has been sleeping through the night with her head on our pillows and has had very few accidents in the house. She walks nicely along side me and seems to be responding very well to simple commands like "no bite!"
We are very excited about Ivy joining our family. I hope she gets to meet all of you soon.
