Charlie in the car

Charlie has been really warming up to Mark lately! He's been listening to him more and more. He cuddles up to him on the couch and in bed. He's been going to Mark when he's called. He hasn't been as attached to me, which is a huge relief.

Mark spent some time with Charlie in the car earlier. He said that it went well! See photos below. Charlie didn't jump in the car on his own, but sometimes he does after a LOT of coaxing. Mark said that Charlie was nervous at first. He drove around the block then parked and played some games on his phone while Charlie got used to just sitting in the car. He sat up in his seat and looked around and got pretty comfortable and calm. It took him about half an hour to calm down. Maybe we need to start leaving 45 minutes early when we take him in the car. What a hassel! It will get easier though :)

We are trying to teach him to roll over but he gets freaked out and jumps up and scurries away. So we are working with him when he's calm and he rolls on his side and lifts his leg and looks at us like "pet my belly!". That's when we work with him by getting down in the floor and petting him and physically rolling him to his other side while saying "roll over" then praising him. He will get it soon enough :)
