Actually, today was a busy day for Teri. She was picked up by the wife of a coworker and they went to this kids thing. There were about 50 kids entertained by two women who sang and played keyboard and danced for the kids. It was pretty crazy with that number of kids and Makenna was a bit tired and cranky by the end, but Teri enjoyed the other contact with adults.
The agent contacted us today and said that the first place we liked along the river was definately not going to be available until July 10th at the earliest, so we have decided to go with the other place. Chris is going to take one more look at the place tomorrow to check out if there were really towel and sheets and stuff or not and take a look at the garage. The house is quite large so we will hopefully feel at home there and the yard out back is very secure. So Makenna should like playing out back.
Anyway, tomorrow is a short day at work. I've been staying a little late this week as we have had some problems, but things should be better next week.
The naughty step technique is starting to work with Makenna. Teri doesn't like how Makenna likes chewing on her shoes (yuk!), so she told her not to a couple of times today and when she didn't listen Teri, put her on the step and only had to put her back once. Makenna cries and whines when she realizes she has to stay there for a minute, so we know we are finally getting through to her. Hopefully, she will start understanding better "no" when we say it. Right now she just smiles, which unfortunately is very cute and makes us smile which takes a lot of the force off of the "no". Anyway, she's getting to know it better now...we hope. She is too cute.
