Firsts for Everything!

Ok, so we are all moved into our house- well as much as we can be for now. We have loaner furniture from the house, and our first shipment of goods will be delivered tomorrow. The boys are doing ok, but testing EVERYTHING!!! Especially Eric! He has definitely been a handful, but I guess they both are pretty good- keeping in mind their world has been turned upside down too!!!
So the first first, is just getting a house and moving in off base! It really isn't that bad- once you get used to the idea of living in a foreign country. It is actually closer to the base than our house in Tucson, so we are better off that way! Once we get our car, we will be golden! We were offered a house today on base, and it was so small that we turned it down. We wouldn't be able to fit our furniture into it- and that is with putting half of our stuff into storage!!!



The second first, is we were at the BX eating the other day and Eric had to go to the bathroom. I took him, and when we got there he wanted me to go into the Men's room. I told him that we had to go into the Women's room, and he said "I am a boy mom, I don't want to go into the girl's room". I let him go into the bathroom by himself! It was pretty dead in the BX, so I wasn't really worried or anything, but it was hard to let him go! I sat outside and yelled in "Are you ok?", "Don't touch anything!" "Do you need me to help you?" among other things, and it is a good thing that he is young enough that he wasn't even embarrassed!!! He just went in, and I heard him say to the guys in there "I am in Korea!" I just chuckled to myself! What a big boy!!!

Then my other big boy- my third first- is that we got a single loaner bed for each of the boys! That means that Ryan slept in a big boy bed last night for the first time!!! Well it didn't go so well, but it was still a first! Tomorrow we get some of our stuff- like I said before- and the pack-n-play is in there- and he will probably be back in there!!! I don't know if he is scared or what, but he won't stay in bed! He cries and had such a hard time for nap and to go down last night. AND for nap today, which he should be taking right now, but ISN'T!!! I have put him back in bed soooo many times, and he cries, and then 1 minute later, he is in the living room singing or whatever! What do I do??? He kept getting into Eric's bed, so I even moved all the furniture around and pushed the beds together, didn't work like I wanted it to! Oh well, I guess it is ok, because I wasn't really ready to have him out of the crib yet anyway!!!



That was really my big firsts! We are in Korea, so actaully everything is a first! Other than that, we have just been playing and the kids are having a good time!
