Maddison and Dorian are great together. Maddison is Niles' niece. She is 7 years old and LOVES Dorian. The first person Dorian ran to when we walked through the door was Maddison...she can't get enough of her. Dorian begged Maddison to read to her all day and to pick her up and walk with her! They play great together and Maddison LOVES to take care of Dorian! It is great for both her and me! ha ha Maddison even volunteered to change diapers this time around! She loves to play mommy and I love to let her! ha ha Maddison had a blast holding and feeding Addeline also, but loved chasing after Dorian more!! We love you Maddison and appreciate all of your help!!! Dorian can't wait to come see you again!!!
Another huge breakthrough was with Grandpop! Dorian has been afraid/unsure of/fearful of him since, well, she has been old enough to walk. I can see it in his eyes that this makes him sad that Dorian doesn't want him to play with her, or pick her up, or even just be in the same room. But my friends, times are changing, and Dorian is getting older....she let him pick her up!!!! Dorian even let us get a picture with her and grandpop!!! They played together and had a great time!!! (a cookie or two helped in the matter also, but that doesn't matter!!!)
Dorian also was "okay" with Loretta and Russ's two Dodson's. She has been extremely scared of these two dogs. But this time around she ran right up to them in their cage and let them lick her fingers!! It is AMAZING what time will do to children...Dorian has grown up a little and it is evident in her actions!!!
Nana and Aunt Ellie came to visit the second day we were there and Ellie couldn't get enough of our chunky Addeline!!! She had yet to meet our new little lady and we were so happy to see them both before we leave for New Mexico!
Our trip was relaxing and fun and it was so sad to leave. Even more sad we won't see you for a long time. But we will send pictures and videos in hopes to see you soon!
