New Family Traditions

So Renee and I want to build a time for reading into our daily schedules. We figured that it'd be a good thing to do right after dinner each night. We also thought that it'd be fun to take He-man for a walk while we read. So that is the "tradition" we started tonight. We put He-man in his ball and let him roam up and down the side walk bang into things while we read a book. As I believe I stated in a previous post. My goal is to get He-man to take walks on his leash, but that may take some time, as He-man is a lil spastic sometimes. Until that day, it's walks in the ball.





One quick story to share about the first time I took He-man out in his ball. A couple was walking along and this guy said, "Excuse me. Excuse me sir. What is that? (he said pointing to the plastic ball rolling down the sidewalk)." I told him it was a chinchilla. He looked confused and his girlfriend was keeping her distance. They slowly walked away. He seems to be getting used to his ball and liking the exercise.
