Alan has been doing a great job with potty training. Yes, he still has accidents, but they are very few. Today he was playing at the new neighbor's house and I had to take Eddie home for a new diaper. While I was changing Eddie's diaper I hear a small knock at the door. I hurry to finish and answer the door and there stood Alan with the saddest look and tears in his eyes. He cried wet and peed right there on the front porch. He had tried to come home and use his potty chair, but it was just to far. He was very upset with himself and it was heartbreaking for me. The only other accident he had in the last 2 1/2 days was when he was too busy playing and didn't want to take the time to go poopy. Considering we have only been working on this a little over a week and he originally was against using the potty at all we have come a very long way in a very short time.
Well this may get a little long winded as our plumbing problems have been on going for a long time. For those of you who don't know we built a brand new house and moved in April 14th, 2006 so it's less than a year old. This past summer I noticed that our toilets and sinks gurgled often and in August I called the builder to send the plumbers out under our 1yr warranty to check it out. They came and basically made me feel like I was hallucinating. They said they cleaned the lines and there wasn't anything suspicious so if they gurgled again to give them a call and they would come back out, but if they were REALLY gurgling the problem would mean tearing into our foundation and we wouldn't want that now would we. No, I didn't want that so when they started gurgling again in the fall I just ignored it as the plumber said it wasn't really an issue. Well in February 2007 it could no longer be ignored as sewage started coming up the drains in our shower and bathtub...
