Still here!

We moved in to our new house 2 weeks ago tomorrow, but we just got internet (and phone) hooked up on Wednesday. I have some catching up to do on here!

Ryan rode the bus for the first time yesterday and LOVED it. I was nervous, but the good thing is he is the last picked up in the morning and the first dropped off in the afternoon and we live about 2 minutes from the school, so it's a short ride. I did get a call from the bus garage yesterday afternoon saying Ryan was "tripping up the steps" getting on the bus after school and the bus driver had to help him which they aren't allowed to do. His aide should have made sure he got on the bus okay (he has an aide at school only for transitions, in the cafeteria, and on the playground), but it wasn't his regular aide yesterday, it was a sub, so I'm not sure what happened. I talked to Ryan's teacher and her and the principal are looking in to it.

Brooke is potty training! We started Sunday night and she is doing great! She pees about every 20-30 minutes, though. It will be nice when she can start holding it longer. She is having less and less accidents and starting to go on her own instead of just when the timer goes off and I think she is starting to be able to hold it a little longer. The first couple days she got an M&M every time she went, but she stopped asking for them so I stopped giving them to her. She gets very happy and excited and proud when she goes. She has even pooped in the potty every time except Monday afternoon and yesterday afternoon and she even used the potty at church Wednesday night! I'm so proud of her :-).

I will share pictures of the house *eventually lol. I don't know how soon that will be because I am a huge procrastinator :-X. We got the 3 bedrooms and the living room painted. We still want to paint the playroom and the bathroom and the kitchen. The kitchen is waiting until we get some cabinets from Joe's aunt who is remodeling her kitchen. There's no sense in painting before then.

That's it in a nutshell for now. Maybe I'll try to blog some more this weekend since the kids won't be here. Have a great weekend, everyone!
