Mom got up with me this morning and I had fun starting my day with her! We took a shower together and then I helped her get ready to go to work (on a Sunday!?). Dad got up and joined us downstairs. Mom let me open another birthday gift (thanks for the sweatshirt, Marty!) which I really like. After Mom left, I ate and then Dad and I played in the office for a while.
I helped Dad take out the garbage and do a couple other chores before we went to Target to buy some stuff for my birthday parties this week, including a pair of shoes. That pair of shoes turned out be very challenging for Dad. We couldn’t find anything at Target, so we went to Payless, where we struck gold!
After a quick stop at Staples, we made it home well after my lunch time. I ate a decent lunch and then went to bed a bit after 1. I slept until 3:00 and then Dad and I went to the park. It was a bit colder than it looked, but despite the chilliness, I discovered a newfound love for the covered brown slide. First, I just went down it normally (after wandering around for a bit):
Then, I discovered that I could go down on my belly, feet-first:
Then, the coolest thing ever, I discovered that I could go down on my belly, head-first:
We got home at the same time as Mom and I had fun reading and playing with her until I helped Dad cook fish. Then I was excited that Mom’s friend Kyle joined us for dinner. I impressed by eating two bowls of plain red kidney beans. Nice! We also played the cheese game for her, and then I ate an entire bowl of blueberries. All in all, a great meal.
After Kyle left I jumped on Daddy’s belly and tried to eat his nose before going upstairs and chatting with Mom while she got me ready for bed.
Last year I had my last bottle ever!

You’ve got great form, Maggie! And I love that you’re already a Cubs fan!
