Today we would continue Gareth’s lessons. He was quite a bit more stubborn than Hannabelle but he learned his lessons quickly enough. Once he’d learned enough about eating and language, I introduced Hannabelle again. Unfortunately, they spent most of their time slapping each other and hardly any at all exploring. I tried to get them to push the Science Kit power up with no success. Instead, they kept butting against the wall of the elevator shaft.
Finally, when Gareth was 50 minutes old, he wiggled his way into the area next to the implement and finally pushed it. He went back to the incubator area and seemed miserable. He had trouble eating and sleeping and so did Hannabelle! It was horrible to see them both so upset. The most logical decision at this point was to take a break and address their problems after some rest of my own.
