Happy birthday, Maeve! Our little baby is now really a kid. She has a new level of confidence and capability, seemingly overnight! Maeve was so excited about this birthday and really seemed to enjoy and appreciate the attention today. She normally doesn’t like attention, as you know, but was so polite in thanking people who wished her a happy birthday. This week, by coincidence, Maeve is the star student at school. She got to talk about our family and show pictures to her class today. She kept saying “this one is awesome!” each time – so proud!
Maeve had a great first Irish dance class today too and really seemed to enjoy it. She learned how to put her feet in first position and do a knee-kick! She followed that up by climbing the rock wall at the park. So multi-talented! Her bowling party is coming up this weekend and she is excited to have her grandparents visit. She got a new scooter today that is really fast, so she’ll be anxious to show that off, as well as her new markers and Hello Kitty slippers.
After she showed off her skills this afternoon I said, “Being 5 is pretty cool so far, right?” and Maeve said, “Yep, really cool. I think maybe I even talk different.” She’s growing up so fast!!!
