So Much to Do!

Since finding out that we are having a boy the nesting instinct has already started kicking in! I am completely motivated to start getting Micah's room ready and the house situated to welcome a new baby. Part of my motivation is also due to the fact that Elias and I will be gone to Texas for 3 weeks in June. I am SO excited to see our family, but I know it will be torture for Elias and I to be away from Gus (and vice versa). We will just have to fill our time there with fun activities with the family.
Today I have already started preparing for our sweet Micah by:
-Starting to clean out his room which is now our guest room/office. I will be having a HUGE garage sell very soon.
-I found a few paint colors that I like. Gus has promised to paint the room while I am gone. Elias' room is blue so we are going with an olive green color for Micah.
-Elias and I found some great things for Micah's room at Hobby Lobby. It was all on sale so I got $50 worth of wall decorations for only $25! They are so cute! Micah will get all of Elias' baby furniture and bedding, but I want his room to look somewhat different with new decorations and paint.
-I even cleaned out my closet and managed to part with a few pairs of shoes that I haven't worn in years. (Why do I find it so hard to get rid of shoes?).

That is pretty good progress for one day! I am itching to get all of Elias' old clothes out of the attic, but Micah's closet and room needs a little more clearing up. I guess that can wait for another day.

Now to change the subject. I haven't updated lately about Elias' potty training progress. Well the kid has been 100% potty trained since about day 2 when it comes to peeing. This past week he even woke up most mornings with his diaper completely dry! We have still been putting a diaper on him because night training is not something we have focused on. It looks like he will have that down very soon. However, I must admit that pooping is not going quite as well. He only poops on the potty about once a week. He just HATES to do it on the potty. We have tried a couple of things, but nothing is working. We are not really pushing him (yet) because I know that it takes time. I am hoping that in a few more weeks he will figure out that pooping on the potty is much better than going in his underwear!
