Preschool Storytime

Today I took Eva to the preschool storytime that our library offers for children 3-6 years of age.  I have never taken either of the girls to a storytime but have always wanted to and now that they are showing more of an interest in reading, I thought it was a great idea.  I am so glad that I did take her.  She had so much fun.  They read 3 books about the ocean, ocean animals and the beach.  They also played with puppets and sang songs. 

I am so looking forward to doing this every week with Eva.  The library also does a Toddler storytime for children that are 2-3 years of age on Tuesdays, which I will take both Eva and Maggie, and they do a Family Storytime for all ages on Wednesday nights.  So if the girls grandma wants to come with she can or if I know ahead of time that we won't make either the toddler or the preschool storytime we can go to the family one istead.  This is already the BEST summer ever!

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.
