I’m sure I should be happy because the last I wrote we were buried in snow and since then it’s been feeling a bit like Spring. But I blinked and now it’s the end of February and it’s snowing again tonight. At least the grandparents all made it here for visits and we’ve had lots of fun this month. I also was buried in work for a bit of this month, but somehow that’s already done too!
The big news in Maeve’s world is that she has 2 confirmed weeks of Summer camp lined up. Yes, I realize it’s February, but we live in Chicago and apparently people plan even farther in advance here than me! In fact, we didn’t even get into the week of the Zoo camp we wanted despite members having early access. I am excited about what we did choose though. Maeve will be doing a week of art camp at the Paintbrush and a week of Spanish camp at Multilingual Chicago.
We attended a story time at Multilingual Chicago this morning and it was great to see Maeve picking up more Spanish words – the class is all immersion with a story, songs and playtime. She does really well with her colors and numbers, but we are going to need some help if she is to actually begin to learn another language. I guess I thought we would have started this by now…there’s just so many wonderful activities to do! I’m glad we are exposing her to a language now and we think the week of Summer camp will be fun.
Maeve has her first sleepover scheduled for this weekend. Her friend Gwen is coming over and we’re hoping the girls have a great time! Maeve had her first away-from-home sleepover at Rachel and Fiona’s when she was 2.5, but has yet to have a friend stay at her house. I think she’ll be a wonderful host and friend!
