Museum

Here are a few pictures taken at the Clark County Historical Museum in Arkadelphia located at the Amtrak station. Micah especially enjoyed the train- and airplane-related items, but the best part was when a train went right by the museum while we were inside. We also took a few pictures on the caboose outside of the museum. All of a sudden it seems like M is growing up so fast. Two weeks ago he was jumping the crib. This week he has expressed a lot of interest in using the potty! This might have something to do with the fact that we are using the "star chart" I made a few months ago as an incentive. Micah can earn stars for each day for putting jammies in the hamper (he loves doing this, so it's a freebie), using the potty (right now this amounts to just sitting on it, flushing and washing hands), brushing teeth, and playing "nicely" with toys (that basically means sharing and not throwing them around). Hopefully, a little positive reinforcement will help give him another reason to learn some important skills. He is very excited about the stars right now, so it appears to be working! I took him to the Dr. yesterday because of a persistant cough and it look like an ear infection, so he's on antibiotics right now. I'm just glad it's not anything too serious. It's finals week at Henderson and OBU and we can see the light at the end of the tunnel! We still haven't heard about Dan's summer work yet, although serious flooding at the theatre where he used to work in Mississippi has kind of ruled out that possibility. I hope CT-A can recover soon--that place is an important community asset for Corinth, not to mention, like a second home for many members of that community. We are praying and wishing them luck in restoring the building soon. We managed to make it through several tornado warnings last weekend without serious incident here and hope that holds out for the rest of storm season. Hope you all stay safe.
