Quick post

Last night, J went to sleep early with no problem. I was in bed with him but since I don't mind cuddling him to sleep, I call that a great start to a great night. I was able to put him in his crib with very little fussing or fighting too. He looked shocked maybe 10 seconds, turned his head, whimpered and then was out. With me developing a habit of getting home and looking up debt stuff till 6AM, he tends to wake up a little earlier which makes him want to get in my bed. There's no putting him back after that so I need to find another spot to play on the computer so he can get back to sleeping in his bed till 8 like he did before. With a few more weeks of this, I think we'll be good.

After this, we're going back to pottying. I don't want to change everything at one time so this has been on hold but once he's fine with sleeping on his own, I'm going to go back to working on doing away with the diapers. He's still easy to read as far as signs go so I'm not too worried in this area. It's the getting him to potty on the pot that I need to really get back to.

This year seems to be about getting my house in order and with that, I've started working on our Home Management Binder. I've found a good lot of information to put in it like financial information, important contacts, doctor and health information, recipe files. All kinds of stuff. I'm really hoping to streamline everything. Everything. More on that some other time along with birthday prep for both of us. Well underway.

Challenge stats:

18/2012
$16.83/$1400
Pantry: I haven't had dinner yet. I'm thinking oatmeal. J is having veggie risotto w/ cheese.

I listed a bike on craigslist and have some dance items to list. I sent in a rebate and took some videos to Half Price. Tomorrow, I have an extra stroller to bring to the consignment shop and might go through his clothes and bring some too. Not being able to take savings from my paychecks is hard but doable. I need to come up with 108.50 a week in order to meet my savings goal in three months. Hard but doable.
