So I am sitting here in the dark of the house at 6:30 p.m. debating whether or not to work out or just read a book. So for right now while undecided I am blogging with no big news to share or family outing to show pics of. Caden just came running out of his room because his "Baby Dino" was on the fritz. This little dinosaur makes growling noises and bites when you put your finger in its mouth...at least that is what it is supposed to do but sometimes, like right now, it does this ear piercing whistle sound and growls over and over and over again till I reset it. Well Caden gave it to me saying he was sorry (he is not supposed to be playing I just put him to bed) and when I fixed it he informed me that "Baby Dino sleep out here now because it scare me a little bit". It cracked me up. I am actually trying something new with Caden starting last night. We usually go through a routine every night of him picking up all his toys, getting ready for bed, story, I give him a cup of water, prayers, then potty and lights out. Well on a normal night he gets out of bed at least 3 times after this saying he has to go potty. I am always afraid he is going to wet the bed so I let him go but he has also started waking me up 3 times in the middle of the night to go too. He usually doesn't go and practically falls asleep on the toilet. So last night I told him that he was only getting one sip of water before I turn the lights off and that is it for the night. I also informed him that there would be no more going potty after this last time before I tuck him in. Last night he was a little annoyed that he didn't get to keep his spider man cup in his room with him but didn't really have any problems. I let him go potty one time around 11:45 when he woke up but then the other two time I told him just to go back to bed. He did NOT have a wet bed this morning so I am hoping that tonight will be less of him getting up and we will break the habit if him thinking he has to go potty EVERY time he wakes up. Pray that this goes well because frankly I am tired of waking up that much to take a little go to the bathroom when he doesn't even have to go.
Oh an update on my Uncle Rick...Tim, my cousin, got to share the Gospel with him one more time! Rick was conscious for a time and seemed to be able to understand what was going on so Tim said he couldn't let the opportunity pass. He so wants his dad to be saved but he does know that it is up to him to make the decision but now he can truly feel a peace about doing all he can to help Rick make the right decision. I am so proud of him!! Right now Uncle Rick is still on life support so nothing really has changed at all. Please keep praying for everyone involved!
Okay I have decided I need work out so I am getting off now. : )

One thing we tried is practicing how to get out of bed at night and go potty by themselves...
I had him lay in bed with the nightlight on and then popped my head in and said "you have to potty" and made him get up and go all by himself, turn on the bathroom light, potty, turn it off, and get back in bed. We did it 5 times in a row or so and did it again the next evening. Weirdly enough, I think it worked because he started getting up at 3 am and going potty by himself!
