Christmas Eve Festivities

Melanie on her FIRST Christmas
Chirstmas Eve was such a great time with my family. My mom, step dad, my step dad's Uncle Jim, my sister Lorene, Miles and baby Melanie all came over to our house. My sister Mary, Jimmy and their son Nathan couldn't make it because Nathan and Jimmy both were sick. We had so much fun watching Eva and Maggie open their gifts from Nana and Papa plus their Aunts. I think the highlight of the whole Christmas Eve was that Santa came to ask Eva, Maggie and Melanie what they wanted for Christmas. I had so much fun being able to see my family on christmas eve and being apart of Melanie's first Christmas.

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.
