More Shed Stuff

Well things are certainly progressing - slowly but surely :) All of the gyprock around the external walls and ceiling is in place (thanks to extra help from Dad & Dave, and Ashley's coming round to help tomorrow too) and at the moment Al's out there starting on the frame work for the internal wall. So once that's done it's just the patching and painting and carpet and skirting board and cornice and electrical stuff (which Crammy is gonna come and do on Sat 1st of July) - all the 'cosmetics'. And then fitting it out with cupboards or shelves or whatever. And then moving everything else out there that needs to go. And then sorting out the baby's room... etc etc etc!

We also got a quote to get built in robes in our room (something i've dreamed about for years!) and today the sales manager rang back to see what else he could do to help us - he wasn't keen to halve the price like i suggested but did manage to drop it down nicely for us... So we'll see what happens there! And if we do order it this week they'd try to install it in the next 4 weeks or so for us ;) Of course I'll have nothing else to do then so what better way to fill in time than sorting out built in robes! *sigh*

AND Hooray I've only got one shift to go! That'll be nice :) And with Jacob still going to child care 1 day a week I might actually be able to get something done occasionally... but i won't push it of course.

He was quite a sweet little fella most of the day today (apart from a couple of hours when he went a bit feral and didn't know what he wanted... but we survived by him sitting on my legs watching bob and various other things on the computer... until he wanted the keyboard and mouse...). But he did eat well and nicely - just the ham from his toasted sandwhich for lunch followed by 2 kiwi fruit and a mandy, then after Al got home he asked for an apple and I had to stop myself from saying 'no wait a little bit and have some cake with us'. He did sit up at the table with his apple and entertain us while we had our coffee which is always cute. And then he was happy to sit at the table and have dinner with us too, and he ate his whole bowl of pasta and his yoghurt adn didn't complain or get upset at all! That hasn't happened for a while so it was a very pleasant change.

He wanted me to make a tower with him after lunch and while i was complaining about getting on the floor he got one of his little chairs to sit on which was very kind of him! Then he lined up the rest of his chairs (as he does) and was sitting opposite me and held my hands and was saying 'p ...' something i wasn't sure what but THEN i realised he wanted to say prayers! So we did and every so often he'd come back and grab my hands and say 'more prayer' which was just lovely, and after that he was happy to walk up to his room and go nigh night and did without a peep (also hasn't happened for a while, during the day at least) and stayed there for 55 minutes. Better than not at all!

Anyhoo... I shall go back out to the fire and see if i've got the energy to fold the clothes adn i need to put the clean sheets on the bed too... Al bought a $4 cake from Coles again (and the bread's nearly finished) so I look forward to something sweet when he comes in :)

Hope you're all well... I'll put up more shed photos sometime but in the mean time here's some Jacob.
