Lately Xani has been getting cuter and cuter... too cute for his own good some days, or maybe more a case of too cute for OUR own good! LOL! With the move up to Hamilton, we've found the weather far hotter than we're used to experiencing in Palmerston North, especially this early into Summer... so we've been keeping a lot of fruit in the fridge. Xan has discovered a love of fruit... grapes, strawberries, apples, bananas etc... and he knows where they're kept! A couple of weeks ago, there was a bag of grapes in the fridge, and every time the fridge was opened, he'd be there, begging for grapes. Then, one time, I'm sitting at the dining room table as he comes wandering in... he spots me, gets that cheeky lil "I'm up to something" grin, turns his head and body so I can't see the look on his face as he shuffles past me.. heading for the fridge. Next thing I know, he comes wandering back past... mouth stuffed full of grapes and that grin even bigger! Cheeky monster! Only 2 and a lil thief already! He does the same thing with Karl's mints, which he loves. If we leave the bedroom door open accidently, we'll find him coming out of there, grinning, babbling about a mint.. and sure enough, he's pinched another one!
Ack.. then you get days like today, where we have JUST caught him coming out of our bedroom, smelling like the Lynx deoderant spray Karl uses, and all of Karl's chewing gum eaten! LOL! At least he smells all fresh now!
He's also started sharing with the rats... regularly he will offer them a part of what he's eating, like a bit of apple, sandwhich etc. The other day he had been given a huge strawberry, of which he'd eaten half.. then he wandered over to the cage and held the strawberry remains up to the cage, which was instantly surrounded by twitching noses and reaching, grabbing paws. So he let them all have a few bites, then walked away with the leftover strawberry, after telling the rats "you're welcome"! So cute how he shares... and always with lovely manners.
Now.. for the sour! Karl cooked up yummy crumbed fish today, which Xan had a couple of bites of, then turned his nose up at... and then he saw us putting lemon on our fish. "Juice, juice" came the cry... so, thinking he'd take one taste and then not want any more, I grabbed a piece of lemon and squirted some into his mouth. The look of satisfaction he had was instantly replaced with the typical "oh gawd, what is this, it's so SOUR" screwed up facial expressions, that, like the mean parents we are, had us instantly laughing at him... only to sit and stare in shock at him when he shook it off, and asked for MORE! After that, he kept wanting more lemon juice until we couldn't squeeze another drop out!
I know this is all just little snippets... there's a lot going on in our household at the moment, some of which will be blogged about in my other blogs... so my mind is really not with it right now, and kinda struggling to put a decent blog post up. But, I will at least try to continue keeping up with these posts (even if they're only little random scattered snippets).. part of the whole "new life" we've started now we've moved to Hamilton. A LOT of life changes going on right now!
