Potty Training


So, we have been working on the potty training thing with Kaitlyn for a while and she's finally doing really well. Well, now, everytime she sits on the toilet to make "hot water", as she calls it, Abby comes in to watch. She Kaity finishes, Abby starts to clap. =) Then, of course, she wants to have her turn to sit on the potty. So far, we haven't had any accidental successes with that yet, but maybe she will be easier to train than Kaity has been.


Our house in South Carolina has been on the market now for 7 months. We've received a few offers, but nothing has worked out. Either they have been too low for what we owe, or the bidders haven't been able to work out financing. I just wish we could get rid of that thing
One of Travis' friends was over this weekend and made the mistake of saying "crap" in front of Kaitlyn. She sat there for about five minutes just saying "Oh! Crap!" over and over again. We got her distracted for just a few minutes, but appearantly, it was long enough to make her forget the right way of saying the word. After that, it was "Oh! Crash!" I went along with it, so she never remembered that it was the wrong word. Sometimes their short attention spans are a blessing. lol

For Starters

I am terrible at this sort of thing. I have never been good at writing a journal or papers for school or anything else of this nature. So, this will either remind me of how bad I am at this.....or I could get lucky and this will help me get better. So, what's new in the Boxley's life? One of Travis' friends from when he was in the Marines has been offered a job here at Fort Polk, so he is visiting for the weekend while he gets his paperwork and drug testing done. It's been really great to have him here. It's really neat how we are all able to pick things right up where we left off with no "weirdness" even though we haven't seen each other in three years. It will be a lot of fun to have so many of our old friends living in the same area and working in the same place. I can't wait till he and his wife actually move here!
