Jim gets brownie points this week for checking another BIG item off my honey do list.?? He installed my home school cabinets!?? I was a little worried when we got them that they would crowd my kitchen but once they were installed we both thought they look like they should have been part of the original kitchen design.<\/p>\n

Note to Heidi:?? Didn’t you say your mom had her cabinets extended down this wall?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The newly installed cabinets are all those to the left of the island behind the kitchen table.??<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Closer view.?? You will notice a shadow box on the left side of the counter.?? This is where Tanner’s weekly show and tell stuff will be placed:).?? Doesn’t the counter, the table top, and our NEW floor blend well??? Jim installed that too.?? What a guy!<\/p>\n

This picture posted for Susie and Sarah R.?? Wanted you to know I am making significant progress with my pantry.?? Now the fridge….not so much but it’s on the to do. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Funny for the week:<\/p>\n

Now that the crib rail is off Ty’s bed, he takes it upon himself to clean his room before bed.?? Not because I asked him to, because he has that little fettish about NOTHING being in his room at night that doesn’t belong there.?? He doesn’t actually clean it, he just throws everything into the hallway.?? I have a funny video clip of Tanner harrassing him about these issues and I promised Grandma I would put it on the web for her next week so that will be up soon.?? Anyhow, last week during his room inspection he asks me to remove his John Deere Tractor from his shelf.?? I ask him why and he said “It scares me”.?? I said “Your being silly.?? That tractor does not scare you.”?? He said, “But the puppet does!?? He never closes his eyes!!!”?? LOL.?? I have a cow puppet in a bucket on his shelf and Ty is right – puppets do not close their eyes at night.?? LOL.<\/p>\n

I have been really proud of Ty lately.?? He is making huge strides with his attention issues.?? Two examples:<\/p>\n

1.?? I have instituted “blanket time” to teach him to play independently.?? He has to stay on his big special blanket with a box of toys until the timer goes off (I set it for 30 minutes).?? No toy is allowed off the blanket or he loses it.?? He is not to extend so much as a toe off the blanket.?? I wanted to give him strict boundaries so that he wouldn’t get distracted and then not play.?? He has done awesome with this and he seems to like it.?? It is the ONLY time he will actually sit and play with something other than an electronical device for more than 2 minutes.?? Tanner actually asks for blanket time because he knows that Ty can’t come disturb him and his toys if he is under “blanket time” rules.?? Tanner asked me to institute a no talking rule too because he didn’t want to hear Ty’s star wars imitations.?? I said no.?? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

2.?? Ty has been begging us to go see “Pirates”.?? We thought there was no way he could sit through a 3 hour movie.?? We took him to Shrek instead.?? He did very well.?? Then he begged for Pirates again and we said “no way” and we took him to Ratatouille.?? He did very well.?? He again begged for Pirates.?? On Tuesday we finally decided to try Pirates for Jim’s birthday.?? Would you believe Ty sat quietly at the theater for the ENTIRE movie??????? He fell asleep the last ten minutes only.?? He was AWESOME!!!!?? Next morning he says “Mommy that was a GOOD movie we saw last night!”?? :)….and for those of you wondering, neither of my children are prone to nightmares and they don’t scare easily or even revisit movie scenes (with the exception of Mr. The Incredible) so Pirates was not the slightest bit upsetting to them.??<\/p>\n

Off to a busy day.??<\/p>\n
