Tent Time!

I think they actually like us! We have done a few sessions of tent bonding with Sydney and Taz the past few nights and it has been a blast. We thought they were skittish with us because of all the crabbing that went on when we'd try to touch their pouches when they were inside. Apparently we were wrong! I think it's more protectiveness of their sleeping spaces. In the tent, they are almost completely different gliders. Sydney enjoys doing very fast laps around whoever is in the tent with her, pausing to climb us like a tree. Taz is more slow, but he also enjoys climbing up to your shoulder to perch like a parrot. We even saw our little chunk butt jump a couple of times. No gliding yet, but maybe once he loses some weight he'll be able to do so. We are SO happy that in less than a week with us how much they've accepted us. We still can't pet or cuddle them, but we hope to get there eventually.

Some pictures from the fun in the tents:

Sydney climbing on Jay. ("Daddy, do you have food in this hand?")

Sydney climbing on Katie.

Taz hanging out on Katie's shoulder. ("Taz want a cracker or cheese or whatever you are willing to feed me!")

Taz considering jumping from me to Katie. He changed his mind that time.

Taz in my hair. He really liked our hair. ("Mmmm, I just LOVE the new shampoo!")

Sydney climbing on Katie some more.

Taz figured out how to get up to the mesh window of the tent and climb. I am amazed sometimes at how well he hangs around like that as big as he is!

Next time, I'll let you know how our introduction of Bruce to the new gliders went!
