Friends?!?!?

Janey has had this weird love/hate relationship with Oscar since she was born. She loves him through the window and from a distance, but she would go into a PANIC if he got remotely close to her. Well, the past month or so she has gotten a little less upset and clinched up when he would try to play with her. Last night, we brought Oscar in because of storms, and I stood down in the play room with the girls for awhile to play. Janey was calm, but still a little standoffish. After about 15 minutes, I had to go to the kitchen to check on supper. Janey stayed in the playroom with Oscar and Mary Varner. She even started petting his back with a little encouragement from her big sister. I grabbed my camera and started taking pictures!! She played around with him for about 10 minutes and then she was done. They are not best buds, but at least we are moving to the "not freaking out when he is around" stage now!!
