This sweet goofball is handling the loss of Carmen better than anyone in the house.

She seems to be embracing the role of Queen of the Castle. I didn’t realize how often she was taking her cues from Carmen until now – she’s suddenly realizing she can make her own decisions, and this has also resulted in the occasional “you’re not the boss of me!” attitude. Apparently I was never really in charge around here, Carmen just let me think I was.
