Today Maeve had her check-up and got a few vaccines, including her flu mist. She was not thrilled about having to leave school early as it meant she had to miss the art project, and she definitely wasn’t excited about going to the doctor. She was a trouper about the shots though and we survived the appointment.

Weight – 31 lbs. (25th %)

Our baby turned 4 today! We came home from our wonderfully relaxing kid-free vacation to Maui this morning to celebrate with her and some of our family. Maeve had a terrific week+ with Nanna, Grandad and Duffy, and we are enjoying a visit from Aunt Heather as well. Grandma came over from Michigan and our Chicago cousins (along with visiting Aunt Cinda and Uncle Bill) all came to party with us!
Maeve’s doing great at her new school, getting back into soccer class and will begin her art class this week. We are excited for our friend Evan’s birthday party this weekend, and she will have her annual check up next week. We are so proud of our big girl and thank you for sharing in her adventures with us!
This last bit of summer has been such a whirlwind… I thought we were busy a few months ago, but trying to cram in all the pool/beach/outside time we can while the weather has been glorious has been exhausting fun too!
Last week we headed down to Millennium Park on Monday to see Ms. Julie sing – she was our old Wiggleworms teacher. We enjoyed a word art project and the hoola hoops, and then shared a picnic with Daddy by the Bean! Tuesday we had a playdate with Maeve’s friend from Black Bear, Sisi, at a wonderful tucked away park called Adams Playlot. The girls played in the sandbox mostly, but Maeve and I went back after lunch to beat the heat at the splash pad with a slide! Wednesday was gorgeous and we enjoyed it to the fullest – we went to the Green City Market and Farm in the Zoo with Olivia, Tessa and Sarah in the morning. Then we joined Evan and Georgia at the pool in Wilmette in the afternoon! The rest of the week included some errands and prep for Mommy’s girls’ weekend, but then Maeve and Daddy had an adventure. They headed over to Saugatuck to our friends’ cottage on Saturday to enjoy the beach. Georgia took the kids to paint pottery while the daddies went fishing too. It sounded like Maeve had a great time!
This week included the following:
Monday – trip downtown on the Metra and the water taxi
Tuesday – Oak Park to Olivia’s and a new pool that had a lazy river
Wednesday – art projects at home and bouncy fun at Pump-It-Up
Thursday – Playdate with Will (friend from Black Bear) at Family Grounds Cafe and dinner with our cousins Anne & Cole, and Katie & Ben
Friday – Playdate with new neighbors Jackson and Abby
For Labor Day weekend we are off to visit cousin Nathan, Auntie Beth, Uncle Matt, and Grandma!
