Steps

So, I'm not sure it it's one step forward and 2 steps back or maybe vice, versa. So, we were doing good on the potty training while there was a peer here who was potty training. The past 3 days there has been no pooping or peeing on the potty. She goes on there several times a day, but hasn't been able to make anything come out. She has been working on getting herself onto the potty by herself and is doing good at that.

The above picture is what she did with the storage covers. They became beds for her babies & stuffed animals. There are 6 of them spread out. Funny girl. She has also put all her babies at the table for breakfast and lunch today.

And something else she has done a couple times lately is put herself to bed or down for a nap. I was talking to grams today and Isabel diappeared upstairs and put a bunch of dolls & stuffed animals on her bed and then left the room to turn on the fan for white noise (which she turned on too high and it scared her). I came and turned it down and opened her room for her and she crawled into bed and said "Good Night Mommy". She was a little restless as she tried to figure out how to get all her dolls & stuffed animals under her quilt with her, but then I came up and put them away and gave her Dolly and her pacifier and she went right to sleep for 2 hours. She did this the other night for bedtime. Both times I have just been amazed.

Well, daddy is stil broken and so is my car. It's something else now. It's a good thing we got that stimulus check because otherwise we would be in the poor house paying for fixing broken things. Obviously, they are both still broken so we'll hve more money to pay for that. Plus we have a broken roof on the 3-season porch on our MN house that needs fixing. We are certainly on our way to the poor house. Although, like I said the stimulus check is paying for the unexpected broken daddy & broken car and hopefully it will cover all of it for both of them. The broken roof is coming out of our pocket. We are going to fix it next Saturday with the help of some wonderful friends and family (otherwise it would cost us even more to have someone else do it).
