Mom and Dad came up last weekend. Randy's parents were throwing a surprise birthday party for him (his actual birthday is today), and to really surprise him they stayed at my house. Which meant they had to wait nearly an entire day to see Monkey.

In order to get ready for their visit, TR girl came over on Thursday to help me set up the guest bed. She brought Monkey with her and put him in his jumper in the door. Every time Orion walked past him, he started crying. He was afraid of him. Orion was not doing anything- he didn't care about the baby being there at all. At one point, we picked them both up so that Monkey could see the cat, and Ri gave him a head butt.

Randy's party was Saturday night. Sunday morning TR girl, Randy, and Monkey came over for breakfast. This time, he was very interested in the cat. Orion put up with him, getting away when he'd had too much. He climbed up on the back of the couch and went to sleep. Later, Liam was up on the couch. He pulled Ri's tail, but all Ri did was turn around and hiss.

We all told him what a good boy he was. And also stopped Monkey from pulling his tail.
