Two steps back, one step forward...

Anakin continued hiding from us, particularly in the small tower that you can see him playing in here.  We've unfortunately had to remove it from the room for now.  He has another tunnel toy that he hides in too but he is more accessible in that.  Otherwise, he tries to "hide" behind the scratching posts in the room.  We are fine with him having a place to feel safe, but we don't want him completely hiding from us. 
Our protective gloves finally came in which I was excited about.  I figured I could try to pet him without fear of being bitten or clawed.  Unfortunately, Anakin is more terrified of the gloves than my bare hand so after much unsuccess, I have gone back to bare hands and not trying to pet him--for now. 
But on the bright side, he has been approaching very closely to us for food!  This picture was taken without zoom.  Our next step is to get him into our laps, or at least standing on our legs for food.  We're getting close!  Doing this without food, though, is still a LONG way away.
