Potty Training

This week was the beginning of what we hope won't be too long of a process. Both girls made progress with the potty. Abigail will sit on it but nothing comes out. A few weeks ago she didn't want anything to do with it. Amélie has done really well! When we are around the house we don't even need to use a diaper anymore, although she prefers that we do.

Naomi got a slight promotion at work - basically they will be paying her to do what she already does. She also has a permanent contract instead of a temporary one, unexpectedly giving us a bit more financial security. Teaching this past week was really rough though - the school was so hot that just sitting down meant sweating. Thankfully that was the last hot week of the year.

We are having trouble getting the final things done on the house. The wood around our new front door is rotting and was supposed to be replaced yesterday, but that fell through. All the wood needs paint on the outside but our painters seem to be too busy for the job. The electrical keeps getting postponed as well. Frustrating, because we just want to be done!

Using the potty like a pro!
