Potty Training and My Neighbor Moving to Cali

Potty Training! Yay! Haha.
Aaliyah is doing REALLY well getting back into using the toilet. After the move from Grant to where we are now she regressed back into not wanting to use the toilet... then came the surgery which put her even more behind.
Today she has gone the entire day without having an accident. She is even to the point where she just goes up stairs by herself and does everything on her own. :) I think it is pretty awesome that she can make it up 2 flights of stairs to go pee. haha. She went into the store with me without having an accident. Which for anyone that is dealing with potty training knows... that is one place that they tend to pee. I have no idea why... but it is.

My next do neighbor decided to move to California with her boyfriend. She was having a group of people over to say bye and all that. There was a little boy that Aaliyah really wanted to play with.. so I went out and they ended up playing for sometime. Aaliyah kept running in and out of her apartment so I ended up just having to go stand inside her place. Luckily, she was a really sweet person. She invited me in and introduced me to all her friends and their children. She gave all the kids their own stuffed animals. Aaliyah got a fluffy white seal. The thing has not left her side since she got it. I am not kidding.... it might actually replace Happy Bear. But, the lady (I am having a hard time remembering her name) said she has a facebook page that she would add me to.. I thought that was pretty awesome. I was actually getting teary eyed when I was saying bye to her. I suck at good-byes... and with her it was really hard. I just really hope that everything wonderful happens to her. She is just such an awesome human being.
(I'll get pictures of the seal up... haha.)

Aaliyah's Surgery

These are the only pictures I have from that day. The first picture is from where they tried inserting her I.V. I didn't hit her. Haha.

Little Maya

I have finally come across some more pictures of Maya.
A few of these pictures were used at her funeral.
I really wish I could get a hold of the rest of them...

Maya and Emilio (Her older brother)
