Growing Pains

I'm feeling a bit sad today as it seems Yu You is growing up and becoming more independant every day. She no longer sleeps contentedly next to me on my sofa but often jumps down to sleep on her rug or walks over the sofa arms to get to the other sofa.

She no longer sleeps in all her funny positions in my office but sleeps either at the front door (this is admittedly funny when the post comes...) or at the top of the stairs so she can see the front door and protect us.

But she does still like to sleep on top of my slippers when i am not wearing them and so I know she still wants to be near me :-)
