Happy Independence Day

Our 4th of July started off with Uncle Bob, Eva and Maggie all playing Disney Princess Memory.  It was hilerous and cute to watch Bob playing with his nieces and I couldn't resist taking some pictures of them.
Our Independence Day BBQ was a huge success.  We had so much food and had a lot of leftovers.  We also had a great time with family and friends.

After all the festivies had mostly winded down, it was time for the 4th of July firework display.  I was so looking forward to this and was getting excited to see both the girls reactions to them. I knew Eva was going to be okay but wasn't sure how Maggie was going to take to them.  This was her 3rd July 4th but hasn't seen the fireworks yet.  Her first 4th of July, she was only 2 1/2 months old and last year she had slept through them, so this year I was even more determined to get her to seem them. 

So when it was time to watch the fireworks, I went upstairs to get both the girls and only found Maggie awake.  I was bummed that Eva had fallen asleep but was very thrilled to see Maggie was awake and she was going to see the fireworks, FINALLY.  She really liked them and wasn't really that frightened of them.  She just didn't like the finally when they start shooting them off rapidly.

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.
