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.
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.

Today was a friend of Jim's and one of the lead singers in the band Red 70 Blackstar, his and his girlfriends baby shower. They are expecting a baby girl in the middle of August. I think they are naming her Arabella Milan, not quite sure if that is the proper spelling of it. I like it and her middle name is a combination of Katreena's mom's name Mila and Ray's mom's middle name Ann. They was a lot of food there including a pig roast. The entire PIG was just sitting there. I was a little grossed out by it, I think I would not have been so grossed out if the head wasn't still attached to the rest of the body. There were a lot of children there and it was nice for Eva and Maggie to have something to do. Katreena's parents had a lot of games for the children including a baby shower pinata. Ray and Katreena received a lot of gifts and showed us the baby's room, it is a girlie safari theme. The baby's room is Katreena's old baby room....
