More court dates and Grayson' new ride

Two more families were assigned court dates this past Friday! Yay! Their court date is June 17th! Just about 2.5 weeks away! They received referrals about 3 weeks before us, so, we could still have several weeks to wait, or, we could be assigned a court date any time now. Either way, we're patiently waiting. This part of the wait is so much easier. Sure, it's hard having a picture and wanting a specific child home, but it's also SO wonderful to have a picture and to be praying for a specific, sweet face and name. Please continue to pray with us as we wait to be assigned a court date. Pray that we would continue to feel comfort in God's sovereign plan. We are praying for a June court date.

In more exciting news, Grayson has a new ride. He has strollers and wagons and now he has a bike trailer. Yup. We've been talking about getting bikes and a bike trailer and we finally did it. We bought a couple used bikes off Craigslist and a bike trailer at Wal-Mart. We had a great time! And, it's a much better workout than just taking a walk! We were really huffing it up the hills! The bike trailer seats two and, of course, Grayson has already pointed out that Abram will ride too.

We've also completed our 5th day of potty training. We realized several weeks ago that he would go and use his potty if he was naked from the waist down, like before bath time. So, I started letting him run around without any pants or undies on in the house. Sure enough, no accidents as long as he's naked. This past week, we started working on wearing underwear. He had about 3 accidents a day for the first 3 days and is now down to just one accident a day. But, it's of course when he needs to go #2. No fun to clean up. He's had NO accidents when we leave the house! He definitely realizes he needs to hold it. And, he has no interest in diapers anymore. We had been putting them on at night and last night he kept taking it off! We did get him to settle on a Pull-up at night. I'm not quite ready to change the sheets in the middle of the night! Once he consistently wakes up dry, we'll do the underwear at night. So nice that we will only have 1 child in diapers when Abram comes home!

Grayson's new ride!
