He seems to understand me now. When I say " You want to go bed?" He gets all excited. He lays on my chest and fall to sleep and when, after a while, I put him in his tank, he starts trying to climb out to get back with me.
.
I feel bad that I can only take naps with him, he's just too little to try to stay in the bed all night. He might run off.
.
Yep, right off the edge of the bed and thump onto the floor. Then he'd hide again. It's just in their nature to run and escape and hide.
.


Similar reaction when it's time to take a swim, goes poopie almost immediately. I let him swim for a bit then take him out after about 10 minutes. I scoop out the poopie with a cup and water my plants with it. No waste.
.
You should see my plants.
.

Guess what he likes, candy.
.
Just a taste on my lips.
.

he sounds so cute! what kind of candy does he like?

Caramel. He just licks it. Yes, he is so cute.
.
He gets so excited when he tastes it.
.
AND he has really calmed down in the past month or so. He it starting to LOVE me.
.

He does like blackberries and grapes. Doesn't like watermelon at all. Will eat cooked cauliflower, green beans and peas. Of course he has his usual collard greens. I give him extra veggies a few times a week of which he dives into and gobbles them up.
.

.

3 times during the night he came back into the bed with me. I had to get him, he was scratching and clawing to get out. I had to calm him down. He has started sneezing. They sneeze to let you know they are happy or pleased. You can barely hear it but they sneeze. He is still sleeping but I'm up. I have to prepare his food before I get him.
.

Oh my, he pooped in his bed last night.... Had to clean it up and put a clean bankie in there with him. He can't sleep without his bankie.

There isn't much to get excited about these days. It's just nice to know there is another heartbeat in the house.
