Birthday Party

Today Eva went to her first birthday party, for her friend Piper.  The little girl who's birthday party it was, was a classmate of Eva's and probablely her best friend.  There were two other children from their class that came and they all had so much fun. 

Raquel (Piper's mom) had set up several different games for the children to do and they also go to pick out prizes if they won.  The first thing they did was open a pinata.  The children got to pull a sting to try to open the pinata instead of trying to swing a stink to open it.

Then they played pin the horn on the unicorn, unicorn races and they had to try to pop a balloon.  Eva did win 2 of the unicorn races and picked a parrot and monkey hat.  She decided that she was going to give the parrot hat to Maggie.  The children also got to keep the unicorn's from the races.

Then it was cake and icr cream and then present time.  Eva got Piper a fairy dress-up set and a princess wand.  Over all it was a wonderful first kids birthday.  Piper's parents and I are going to work out getting a play date together for the girls.  They also have a son that is about 6 weeks younger than Maggie, so it works out perfectly.  Maybe I will get more friends with children but also new and lasting friendships for me and Eva.

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.

Catch a Reading Wave.......Make a Splash

So today I signed up both girls for the Summer Reading Program through the Lisle Library.  I thought this was something that could help them both have a love of reading that their grandma Kathy, their daddy and I all do.  They have a log chart that we write down the books that we read to them and after the first 10 books they get a prize and then after each additional 5 books they recieve another prize.  The summer reading program goes until the end of July, with a Beach Party and then they will pick grand prize winners for those who read the most books.  The final prizes are pretty cool. The Library also has a Summer Reading Program for adults that I signed up for.  I have to read atleast 3 books and complete a review on each book.  After the first 3 books, I get a prize.  The Summer Read prize will be awarded to the first 250 individuals to complete 3 reviews. But for each book that is logged, I will receive an entry for the raffle drawings at the Summer Read party on July 28th.
