My new perch

Daddy had to go to work today, but with mommy home all day today I tried my best to keep close to her. It wasn't easy with all her stopping, turning, bending and lifting. I followed her while she carried her basket of clothes, stood by her while she poured liquid on them inside a machine, and followed her to the kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. All this running around made me exhausted, but I didn't want to be away from her for one moment.

During all this running around, mommy stepped on me once, kicked me several times on accident, and yelled at me over and over "Cyan get out of the way!". I didn't want to make her upset, and I didn't like getting kicked or stepped on so I finally sat down on the couch to leave her alone until she got tired too.

Mommy sat down with me for a break, I cuddled on her chest while she picked up a ball of string and some sticks. At some point I fell asleep and mommy stood up. I felt her support and balance me in position as she moved around and I got to see everything from her shoulders while she worked! I loved the view, I loved her warmth and I loved the fact that I didn't have to be kicked or stepped on to walk around next to her.

At some time in the day, she put me down on the floor but I wanted desperately to get back up on her shoulders! I found my way over to the couch, climbed on the tallest part and jumped all the way up to her shoulders again as she passed by me. She let me spend most of the evening there, comfortably, wrapped around the back of her neck. I mastered the balance necessary and I learned so much just by watching her work, and the best part is I am not getting hurt or getting in her way anymore!
