Jim's 30th Birthday

Jim with his cake while we sang "Happy Birthday".......yes I did put thirty candles on it Melanie, Eva and Jim Jim, Maggie and Melanie......Maggie wanted to hold Melanie all night it was way too cute. Today we really had a wonderful time celebrating Jim's 30th Birthday today. He said he doesn't really feel any older than he did when he was 29. My mom, stepdad, my Uncle Jim, Lorene, Melanie and Mary and Nathan, as well as Jim's mom Kathy and sister Beth, were apart of the festivites. Jim wanted me to make this 3 layer cake called 1-2-3-4 Cake by Paula Dean with his mom's homemade frosting, it acutally came out pretty could for my first time making a 3-layer cake. I think Jim's favorite thing about his birthday was when Eva sang him "Happy Birthday" to him when she woke up this morning.

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.
