Today's accomplishments!

-Sarah completed her online 8 hour Hague adoption training! I have been working on it about an hour each day on my lunch break and tonight while waiting for Chad to get home from staff meeting at the church, pushed through module 5,6, &7. I really enjoyed the training. There were lots of videos to watch with International Adoption Doctors, families that had adopted from all over the World, and even an "older" adopted child from China that talked about adoption. Turns out she was most likely in her 20's as she said "my husband and I are considering adoption" She looked about 12 years old! Chad is close to finishing his online training too and should be done by the end of the week.....

-Chad installed a smoke detector in what will be the baby's room. The good news is he only got shocked once before he decided to turn off the breaker.

-Chad went to Lowe's and purchased a fire extinguisher needed for our home study. (Sarah bought those electrical plug thingies and drawer/cabinet locks a few days ago) I stood in awe and then panic as they sell "guards" for things I hadn't even thought of....."OMG the baby might crawl into the dryer/refrigerator/toilet/tub/sink/washer/oven/ trash can and/or dishwasher. I never even thought of that! They might bump their head on the coffee table/kitchen table/ end table/ wall corner and/or chairs! They may crawl out windows or get their fingers pinched in door jams! Luckily there is a WHOLE AISLE dedicated to "baby proof" your home! It may take us 45minutes to open the lid to the toilet, by then we'll have had an accident on the floor and it'll take us another 45 minutes to open the pantry door to get the mop out. But the mop bucket has a sealed lid so the baby doesn't fall in so we'll have to go outside to wet the mop with the hose to clean up the mess! Oh no we can't get the door open, those darn door locks..... Just kidding!
