So Thursday we had a "Rain Day," which is like a Snow Day except it's because of rain. There was massive flooding throughout Central PA - so much so that the weather maps didn't have a color to denote how much rain had fallen, it was literally "off the charts." They say the rivers have risen more than any other time since Agnes in 1972. Climate change is real people, but that's not what this is about...
Sam and I stayed home with Nora for a day of playing, relaxing, dancing, jumping and PEEING IN THE POTTY! It seemed fitting that on a day we got to stay home because of flooding, Nora peed in the potty for the first time. And then, the next morning, she did it again! She's very private about it. She kicks us out of the bathroom so that she can take care of business but then she LOVES to celebrate with us and get her M&M (yes, we're bribing her, or you could say rewarding her ... let's just say encouraging her...). Very exciting stuff around here.
In other water related news, we did get some water in basement, but we expected it and were mostly prepared. Nothing was in the space that takes on water and therefore nothing got wet. The water made it's way to the drain, which is why it is there, so that part worked out. The only really annoying thing is that we are on a "boil water" alert which is something I've heard of before but I've never had to deal with. It's not fun, but it's not the worst thing that could happen. We never lost power, none of our "things" are ruined and we all safe and sound. And we're peeing in the potty!
