Guess What!?!?!

Bowlin went pee pee in the potty this morning, not once but TWICE!  This momma could not be more excited!!!!

Saturday Bo and I were in the bathroom both getting ready to go somewhere and I look up and Bowlin is just sitting on his potty hanging out watching us.  This is the first time he has ever sat on the potty without crying much less voluntarily.  So, I thought hmmmmm....maybe this is progress.  So last night I took his diaper off and told him to go to his potty and he ran back there and sat down....for about 5 seconds.  Currently his favorite thing is a donut!  He asks for them constantly.  So, I told him if he went in the potty I would get him a donut.  Well, he wouldn't go, but he stood up and went all in the floor.  Ugh, frustration!   He fell asleep still crying for the donut I wouldn't give him because he didn't 'go' in the potty.   So this AM, I asked him first thing would he go in the potty.  I reminded him what his treat was.  So we went and sat on the potty after much protesting he finally went!  It didn't all make it in the potty, but hey A for effort!  So he got his donuts.  About an hour later he started asking for a popsicle. Again, I told him he could have one if he went to the potty.  So I took off his diaper he was wet, so I didn't think he would do it.  But, with the promise of a popsicle, he strained and went just a bit.  None the less, he went and he got the concept!  I am one proud momma!  YAY Bowlin!  I have to go stock up on donuts and popsicles now................

Trailer Life So Far.......

Trailer Life is going pretty good so far.  However, we got off to a really rough start.  Let me please just tell you about the first night in the trailer.  We had many set backs getting into the trailer.  So we were almost 2 weeks later living in the trailer than originally expected.  We slept on an air mattress in the living room at Pine Road for those two weeks.  So you can imagine that I was OH SO READY to be in my own bed, no matter where it was!  So that night finally gets here and here is a recap of how it went.
8:30pm: Wall Heater goes out (Wall Heater bc Central Unit does not work like previously anticipated)
9:30 pm: My mom decides that we are endanger with the space heaters that we currently have.  She shows up unannounced with a different one.  This makes my husband upset.
2AM: Finally I get to sleep and wake up with the dining room light on.  This light has not worked since we got the trailer.  So you can imagine my anxiety over this happening.
5AM: Bo wakes up early to plug an extra space heater in the bathroom so we don't freeze to death getting ready.  Well when he plugs it in it throws the breaker on 1/2 the trailer.  So we no longer have electricity in the bedroom.  So he has to fix that at 5 am.
6:30 AM: Bo showers and the Master shower does not drain and he doesn't make it through his shower with hot water.
7:30 AM: I get up and Bowlin slices his finger on broken glass on a window that we have not yet fixed.
8AM: Going to my in laws to take a shower (see no hot water) and I lock me and Bowlin out of the trailer to which no one has  key.  At this point all I could do is laugh.

Luckily, thinks have gotten way better.  However, we do still have some significant water leak issues.  My husband and father in law are working on those as we speak.  But, I feel settled and it feels like home.  Bowlin loves his new bathtub!  He actually thinks it's a swimming pool I think.  *See below for picts  The dogs are adjusting well too.  It is just really small.  I am ready for warm weather so we can all spend lots of time outside.  I think that will make things a lot better.

In other news, my blocks on my house are laid (*see below) and they say they will be there to start framing on Tuesday. WOOOHOO!  I am pumped about that!  Maybe by fall I will have more room and no water leaks!
