Small update on Oscar:

Last night he kept whining and whining because he knew that my family was outside our bedroom eating some snacks. I ignored him an nobody came by to tell me to keep him quiet (I have informed everybody that when Oscar whines, don't talk to him and don't yell for him to be quiet. Don't even look at him...so far they are getting it.) and after about 20 minutes he quit whining and crawled into bed. It was a small step but major sigh of relief because I think he's starting to learn I'm not going to cave in anymore. Also this morning while I was eating breakfast I didn't even look at him when he was whining and he finally settled down onto my feet.
