Eureka

Brilliant nights sleep from the little man. Bed at 10.30pm less than a minutes whinging then not a peep until gone 6am.

Tricky thing is we're not sure what it was; a) He's feeling more settled and has got what he's supposed to do, b) it was the t-shirt we put in with him that helped him relax, c) the puppy Kong filled with crunchy peanut butter did the trick!.

Because he hadn't woken up at all I woke up about 5am in a panic that I hadn't checked he was okay with peanuts and the reason he was quiet was that he was suffering from anaphylactic shock! the tricks the mind plays when you are sleep deprived!.

We took him out in the car again today and he settled straight away no whining at all so we're getting there.

He has also learned stay, not properly though only when you get him to really focus but he is a smart little monkey.

He has definitely found his teeth, he's fine generally when he just has a nibble and stops as soon as you say off but when he has his mad half hour he gets a bit manic and a walk away is definitely required.

The good thing is he does respond when you stop him but fingers crossed it doesn't take long to get him to realise his teeth are not people friendly they are like little razors.
