It started!!!!!

I get to start checking off my bucket list for the year! They are little things but I don't care.

First thing to check off is number 18. As of yesterday her big girl bed is set up and in use. night number 2 and no problems so far. Just waiting for the first fall out of bed and the wondering out of bed 10 times in a night to start happening!  It is so exciting! I can't wait for those things because it is all part and parcel!

Second thing I get to check off is number 14. She peed in the potty for me today! Granted it was not a big pee, it was still a pee. That means she is on her way to knowing what to do on the potty. I made such a big deal out of it. I sang, danced, hugged, high fived her and everything. It was great. I didn't think I would get that excited over a little pee, but I did!  Hope it is incentive for Carrie to try more often!

If I keep going at this rate I will have the list done by October!  That would be rather fancy. Although I think I may have to revamp the list just a little. I have on 9 and 10 work of either staying at the house and being on our own. I am going to have to ponder wether we stay here or if we are going to go. This way I can make a more defined thing to shoot for. If I am going to put my efforts towards moving out, then I will put less emphasis on having own form of transportation and vise versa. Unless it is in somewhere like moving to Morinville!  That could defenatly be an option for us. Away from the parents, but still close enough that they can come see us as often as they like. Guess it would be based on where I can find work and such. In a place like morinville I would need to have transportation though! still far enough away that those that want to see us or us to see them can contact, but those that have no interest can stay away! hhmmm.... the possibilities. Guess St. Albert works for that as well. Then I would not have to worry so much about finding the job quite yet!!   Well, that will be my thoughts for the next couple of days!!

As for how I set up Carrie's bed. I put it over the register for the moment. the drawer that the register covers I have not put in and enough heat escapes from the hole that it keeps the room warm. In time I wanna move her to the bigger but let her get used to the bed before I move her rooms. rooms and bed may be too much for her all at once.

Anyway, all in all I feel pretty content and happy with where things are going! Can't wait to see what the rest of the list brings on. Think the next thing to work on is finding a vehicle and person to let me practise driving with their car!!! Be prepared to take the test just after the snow melts! he he he!!!!
