Noah meets Jelly Bean

I will start by saying that I don't have any pictures to post just yet. My sister took lots of pictures today for me but she wasn't able to e-mail them to me tonight so hopefully I can post them tomorrow.

Today was a very exhausting day! I was told that day 1 was tiring but you just can't imagine how exhausting it is until you've lived it! Don't get me wrong, it was very fun and exciting, but by about 2:30-3, I was ready to leave! Today each child received their dog's one at a time. When we got to the training center, Noah wanted to find Jelly Bean's crate! He wasn't in there at first but shortly after he came in and Noah sat outside his crate talking and playing with him. He couldn't wait until it was his turn to get his dog! I don't think Noah could possibly have been more excited. (and mommy too, sshhh!)

After meeting with our dogs and hanging out for a while, Jeremy (the head trainer) gave some basic instructions and then we broke for lunch. We had to leave Jelly Bean at the center during lunch because we haven't been trained in public yet. We went for lunch then was right back for training! We spent the afternoon working on "sit" and "down." Both of which Jelly Bean does really well. He doesn't stay "in" them for long yet for us, but he's getting better already! Jelly Bean is doing well sleeping in the bed with Noah although Noah is having a difficult time getting situated and still himself. Just too busy of a day!

Noah got a migraine towards the end of training today. He seemed better once we returned to the hotel but after taking Jelly Bean for a walk and introducing him to the staff in the lobby, Noah all of a sudden grabbed his mouth and ran to the bathroom. I knew as soon as he did what was about to happen and I just prayed he would make it to the bathroom. He made it to the door of the restroom then he lost it. Every time he gets a migraine he always gets sick to his stomach then he falls asleep and once he wakes up, he's fine. So after the episode in the lobby, we went back to the room and he crashed on my bed. After about an hour nap, he woke up and he was fine. Please keep him in your prayers for these next few days as we adjust to 'doggie school.' It's a long day for all of us!

Have a great night! Hopefully there will be pictures tomorrow!
