Odie Did It!

I'd like to share a fantastic 'Odie First'! Matt and I really want to take down Odie's pen someday and thought that the best time to try is while I'm on maternity leave. Well... He did it! I left him for 2 hrs and he was a gem! He just basked in the sun by the sliding door :)

This, in the Harrison house, is a HUGE accomplishment :) You see... We've tried to tackle this before, but Odie was WAY too young (maybe a year or younger). We tried a few times... The best failed story goes like this: Matt put up a baby gate between the fireplace room and the kitchen. He left for class a mere 45 minutes before I came home... I found Odie doing a stealth role off our sofa (which he's NOT allowed on) AND he took a nibble out of one if my yellow cushions and brown cushion! You see, he HATES being left alone and does anything he can to get our attention and show us JUST how much he hates us leaving without him. So this was such a wonderful first for him :)

Hopefully he will do the same tomorrow while I take Violet to the pediatrician :) I've started to semi take his pen down in preparation :)

Ps~ Odie got a haircut... Can you tell? Look at the middle picture then look at the bottom one :)
