That Mother Lode

I am rarely alone because my shadows follow me around the house. Isis isn't allowed in certain rooms, but she sticks as close to me as she can and sometimes sits outside the door watching me. Ayomi crawls all over the house trailing me. One day, I walked out of the laundry room, and they were both sitting there waiting on me. They make me feel like I'm the most important person in the world, because I am, in their world.  Since Ayomi is mobile now, he likes to reach out to Isis and try to play. I tell him to be gentle because he pulls her ears sometimes. Isis allows him to touch her, even her hypersensitive paws, without fussing. She mostly avoids him though. She's never mean or aggressive, she just tolerates him while trying to get close to me. She no longer sits outside his bedroom door while I prepare him for bed. Instead, she prefers to stay outside and come in the house once he's sleeping. It's funny to watch her sniff and look to be sure he's not around be...

It's been more than 3 months since our family of 3 was formed. Ayomi is growing and changing daily. He's more active and attentive to the world around him. He's "talkative" and doesn't seem to care that I don't understand his language yet. His laughter and gummy smile brighten each day. He mostly sleeps through the night now. He's enjoying baths more, and we have a good bedtime routine in place. Isis sometimes sits outside the nursery door so she can see us getting ready for bed. (She's not allowed in bedrooms.) She generally ignores Ayomi and stays focused on me. I think they will be great friends once Ayomi is mobile and they can play together.
