I saw Lucy again today. She’s so affectionate. I got love and cuddles pretty much the whole time I was there. She was playing with my phone taking funny selfies with me. When it was time to leave, she was so upset. Wrapped her arms and legs around me in protest. Took my arms and
I went over to my friends’ house, and as soon as I came in Lucy came running to me, wrapped her arms around me and her legs around my leg. I bent down and kissed her forehead and hugged her. She asked me if I wanted to see her toy house that she was painting,
