My family

It is amazing how time just flies by sometimes. I will be turning 28 this August and my oldest daughter Eva will turning 3. What is even more amazing in just a few days I will be celebrating my yougest daughter Maggie's birthday on the 13th of April and she will be turning 1. My husband Jim and I have been together for almost 5 years and will be celebrating 4 years of marriage this December. The three of them are my entire world. They make each day worth living.

Now I have my real family members in my life again and I couldn't be happier. I was taken away from my mom when I was 3 1/2 and she was forced to give up her rights to me when I was 10 so that I could get adopted. Which had some good things that happened out of it but there were some bad things that occurred to in that situation as well. SO now they get to know my little girls and Jim, and I get to know my nieces and nephew. It is cool to think that I am an Aunt and that I get to a Godmother to my baby sister, Lorene's baby.

Also right now I am applying to colleges to get into their nursing program. Mostly looking into Elmhurst College and Lewis Univeristy. I thought I should take advantage of the economy not being so great and that I want to feel like I am helping people, like how so many people have helped me throughtout my life and how they continue to help in various ways still today.

Potty Training

Maggie is doing really well with potty training.  We started about 2 weeks ago with really pushing her to go on the potty and it helped too that she was showing more and interest with going.  She is wearing pull-ups and goes on the potty at least 2-3 times a day.  She has gone number #2 once on her potty but hasn't done it since.  She also has started telling me that she has to go potty, her pull-up is ususally dry and she does go.  Even when her pull-up is dirty, she sometimes will still on her potty and goes as well.  My goal is too get her in underwear and potty trainded by April when she turns 3 because next fall she will be in preschool.

 When Eva graduated from 8th grade all she wanted was a pair of old school Michael Jordan shoes that were black, white and blue.  So that is what we got her.  Now for Maggie we wanted to something to make her feel special since she had a difficult time with the whole COVID-19 pandemic.  She has always loved musicals, so we got her tickets for her and Jim to go see the musical WICKED.  They finally went tonight, and they loved it.  Jim said it was better than the first time he saw it with me.  They enjoyed a nice dinner on the 21st floor of a hotel and had 4 row tickets in orchestra section.  So glad that she felt like a princess.
