Jason and Toys

Jason's catching on to stuffies fast. For the past week or so, he's devoted himself to collecting things around the house — shoes, socks, yarn, my wrist splints — and we've tried to turn his attention to things that are actually his, like toys. Seems like he's finally caught on.

In fact, the more toys he has on his bed, the happier he is and now he really prefers to go outside with a toy in his mouth, so he can throw it around and pounce on it when it hits the ground. He tires of this game pretty quickly, but it's nice to see him entertaining himself.

He continues to do well in all areas, so we're graduating to learning some basic commands like wait and stay. He's so eager to please and to be in on the action that he's learning quickly All he really wants is people who will spend time with him and rub his ears and tell him what a good boy he is. That and feed him treats.
