In my update, I forgot to mention one of the most important changes in Sir Flouncealot's behavior.
We bought two bunnies this spring. Sir F named his "Bugs" and Tink named hers Ariel. (My mother in law pronounces that AAAAAAAAAAriel.) The kids were thrilled and really enjoy petting the bunnies.
Sir F has totally fallen in love with Bugs. She (they're both girls) brings out a softer side in Sir F. He now hugs me several times a day. (Remember this was the kid who would hit me when I tried to hug him.) He now allows me to kiss him good-night without socking me in the eye. And, he tells me that he loves me! Okay, I may rank behind Bugs in his mind, but the fact that I'm appreciated some of the time is mind-boggling.
On the other hand, Tink had some issues with learning how to treat Ariel kindly. She had to lose petting privileges for a week in order to stop pulling Ariel's ears. :rolleyes:
Both of them have been willingly helping me with the grunt work. They seem to like being responsible for these cute, fuzzy little rabbits.
