Potty Training and Sickness . . .Oh My!
We’ve had a fun last couple of days. Madison caught a nasty summer virus. What do I mean by nasty? Well, it causes fevers for up to 7 days and blisters in the back of your throat! At this point, she’s complaining that it hurts when she swallows. She’s had fevers up to 104 degrees already. She’s been to her doctor, so we’ve ruled out strep throat. However, I’m keeping my fingers crossed. We are suppose to go camping this weekend and I’m hoping she gets better so we can still go. I’m also hoping Will doesn’t get this. It’s pretty nasty.
And potty training. If I only had one kid, I would think we are great. Overall, Will seems to get it. His accidents are more of the #2 variety. I can deal with that. 
He did start speech therapy last week, and it went well. I think he may be ready for preschool come fall (though he needs to be 100% potty trained by then).

The Basement Remodel: The Bathroom
Well, I haven’t updated with any pictures since framing just looks like framing. A lot of electrical work has been done too (by Bill and his brother), but you really can’t see that either. However, we started working on adding a bathroom today. Here’s what it looks like when you add a bath when you didn’t have one before:
Yes, you have to dig up the foundation and add a pit (and beyond that they lost me.) Let me tell you, it is super stinky when they do this too! At times today, I was already to pack up the Briggs and Riley luggage, and high tail it out of here. However, opening the windows helped somewhat. I keep trying to remind myself — this is all for a good cause. LOL
I also most forgot to tell you. We had to shut the gas off on Friday to move some piping. Well, when we went to relight the water heater, it wouldn’t! After messing with it for about an hour, we ended up at Home Depot and got a new one. That means, the only appliance we haven’t replaces since we moved in here is the refrigerator! Keep your fingers crossed on that one please. In a way, it is good that it died now. It was 21 years old, so it definitely was on its way out.
