We've been sitting her on the potty since she was nine days old (but who's counting?) so she's definitely familiar with the concept. She's been doing a better and better job of letting us know what she needs, so she's been wearing underwear at home for the past few weeks. She's still having accidents, but she's really doing a great job.
She's saying a bunch more words lately, and responding to questions, usually with "Mm-hmm" or "Nope."
We lost power on Wednesday night before Thanksgiving, which also meant losing heat and water. I've never lived anywhere where losing power meant losing water too, so we didn't think to fill our pitcher or water glasses or anything. Thursday during the day we went to the lab, knowing that they'd have power, and then we went to the Leckies for the holiday meal as planned. We hoped that we'd return to a warm and powered house, but we did not. We called a few places to find a pet-friendly place with a vacancy, so we loaded everyone up and went to the Days Inn. Jane went down for bed relatively easily, but was up around midnight and then thrashed in my bed with me for the next five hours. We were relieved to get our power back around noon on Friday.
We took Jane out for a walk yesterday (once we knew we'd have a warm house to go back into) and then I made some hot chocolate for us all. Really, it was warmed slightly-cream-colored sweetened milk that might have resembled a chocolate flavor. But she seemed to enjoy it.
I tried to get a picture of them holding hands, but when Jane heard the camera, she let go.
