We are Settled

We are finally settled in our new house and unpacked the last box tonight. God is so good. Both Brendan and I could not have expected a house that is a better fit for us. Yes it is a rent house so there are things we would have done differently, but all in all it is great and very nice. Many people have commented that it even seems to fit us better than our other house. So, I can only attribute that to God and how He has completely taken care of us beyond our expectations.

On the Wright front, he has had his follow up ear appointment and all looks well. We are very thankful to have the constant infections behind us. He is getting adjusted to the new house as well although it has been a long process getting him there. When we first moved in, he would follow me around and whine/cry at my feet ALL DAY LONG! He also had a lot of trouble falling asleep for naps and at night. But, this is getting better now that his toys are unpacked and he is more used to his new room.

He is also continuing to say tons of new words. We are working on answering questions with "yes" which he proudly says "yesh". He also says thank you very well "day do". One bad thing he has picked up in the last week or so is whining and screaming when things aren't going his way. We had a big time out today after a trip to Target where he embarrassed me so badly with his shouting throughout the store. I so do not want to be one of those parents that allows that behavior. But I am realizing more and more not to underestimate what he understands because I told him "Mommy is unhappy with you and you are going to be in time out when we get to the car." It actually worked and he was TONS better at the next store. So, hopefully that will continue to work. Time out is by far the best and most effective punishment for him to date.
