New Years Day 2011

I can't even believe that it is the year 2011.  So many big milestones happen this year.  Eva turns 5 years old and starts KINDERGARTEN, Maggie turns 3 years old and starts PRESCHOOL, my step-dad turns 50 and my youngest sister turns 21.  I guess the biggest one for me is that I am starting nursing school and I turn the BIG 30!!! I have to say that I am really not all that scared about it, it is just harder for me to realize that both my little girls are going to school.  One will kindergarten and one will be in preschool, where does the time go. 

Today we celebrated Christmas with my brother-in-law Bob and sister-in-law Karen, since they live in Ohio it is hard to see them around the holidays.  We also had a wonderful dinner of pull pork that was made by my wonderful husband and just enjoyed each others company.  The girls both got an outfit and a toy from Bob and Karen.  Jim got a really nice Ohio State track zip coat and I got a $50 gift card to Archivers.  That will come in handy this year. 

I wish we can see them more often but we end moving to Williamsport, VA, we will be.  I posted some pictures below.

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.
