AAAAHHHHH!!!!! :) :) :)

Great things for us seem to always drop into our laps! Bo and me meeting and marrying came out of nowhere. Us getting moved into better apartments came out of nowhere. So did this latest thing...

Bo was calling different firms to find a job for after he graduates. Well, he came across one that was not hiring for then but were looking for interns now! They remembered Bo from February when he called them about internships then (They were not taking them then) but they were now! They were only taking 1 person! After Bo's webcam interview, they had to interview one more person. 2 hours after Bo's interview, he said Bo had the internship!!!! We will be spending our summer in Fort Wayne, Indiana!!!! Bo will be leaving this weekend cause his first day is June 2. The kids and I will be joining him 2 weeks later immediately after Girls Camp :) Oh life is good!!! :)

Oh My Daughter...

Yesterday, Laneah was having a "I am not going to do anything, you get everything for me" fit. After I had been dealing with it for a while, I had enough. She asked for her blanket. I said "Laneah it is right behind you, you get it." She said "No it is by you mom!" I said "No, it is by you. If you want it, you get it please." "No, mommy get it!" "No Laneah, it is closer to you, you get it." So she bent over, grabbed the blanket, and threw it by me and said "Mommy get it." I had to turn around so she didn't see me laughing...

Today, Laneah was in he bathroom with me talking about how she loves showers. I said, "Yeah? Just like daddy huh?" She said, "Yeah, I like daddy. I can't like mommy cause I have daddy." I started laughing so hard! Oh the things kids say...

Laneah's Potty Training Journey

It all started 2 years ago...

She had turned 18 months and so we bought her a pink potty and training pants. We left them out just so she could see them and hope they sparked her interest.

It took a little while until she wanted to try things but eventually she was interested. We started placing her on the potty several times a day. Then we started placing her on there at specific times during the day (before and after baths, etc). This lasted a couple months until she started actually going on it. We were happy!

Even though she would go those specific times, she was still wearing a diaper and going in it the rest of the time. So we bought her panties and put them on her occasionally. She would still pee and poop in her panties quite regularly.

After this went on for a while, I finally was done changing pee diapers and panties so I put her in the panties all day everyday. She started fully peeing on the potty in 2 days! I was so happy!

So now she was wearing panties all day except when she had to poop (Which she would tell us) and for bedtimes. We were like this for quite a while.

Then we tried many different ways to make her go poop on the potty, all of which failed at some point. But I jumped on this 2 weeks ago.

She said she was done with diapers so we threw them away. But she was really constipated cause of how much she would hold her poop, so we gave her stool softener, nothing. Fed her fiber, nothing. She had not pooped in weeks, so we went to mineral oil. No matter how hard he tried to hold it, out it came! But she would cry the whole time. So I came up with a rewards system:

-she pees: small candy
-she gets a small poop out: big candy
-she gets a big poop out: BBW had sanitizer (she loves them)
-she goes poop without crying: a hair bow/flower

It's been less than a week since I did this and she now poops quickly and without crying on a regular basis :) So nice to be at the end of our first potty training journey... :)

GO NAY NAY!!! :)

I Love This Calling!

I was given a 2nd calling on Sunday, Assistant Ward Camp Director! I JUST LOVE IT! I get to go to Mutual and YW on Sundays and go to camp for a day :) The loving atmosphere from the other women and the young women is just so wonderful! I really hope God has Young Women in my future of callings :)

I Just Don't Understand Mean People

I went outside this morning to water our plants and saw that someone felt like calling our property their own... Both Bo's and my bike along with the kids bike trailer was stolen! Right off our back porch! EVERYTHING was LOCKED together! You can even see the skid marks from where the thieves were dragging OUR property away. The skid marks end at the street suggesting they loaded OUR stuff into their truck... We were very upset this morning. Bo built his bike on his mission. My dad gave me my bike. And the kids LOVED that trailer so much. :( We have been pointing the best in this situation as much as we can: we don't have to move them now, etc. We are getting the kids a wagon, so they still have something. Laneah is very excited about it. But yeah, just had to vent. I just don't understand how someone can just take expensive property that is not their own away from a family...
