I slept in until 7:00 and was happy to see Julie come get me up. I totally rejected breakfast but was happy when Julie took me out to play in our yard. Nana came at 9:00 and I was realliy hungry, so she let me wat a big bowl of cereal and blueberries. As soon as I finished, we packed up and went to the park. I even reminded Nana to take her coffee! I played on the slides and on the swings, but I was especially happy to feed the birds. When we got home, Nana prepared a picnic lunch for me, which I enjoyed eating out in the yard. I think I’m really going to like spring and summer! We read four books before I went to bed around 1:30. We capped off a great day with another trip to the park. Mom got home around 6 and instead of eating my dinner, I ate half of Mom’s sloppy joe!
My schedule was a bit differnet this week, as I went to school on Tuesday and Wednesday this week. I was in my new room, of course, and did really well both days. I especially loved the matching animals puzzle and the bingo markers I found. On Wednesday I discovered the glue stick! I think I can have a lot of fun with that in my new room.
Thursday was a fun day, too. After breakfast and fun with Julie, Nana came around 9:00 bearing arms full of new clothes for me! It was really cold outside (what’s up with that?) but we bundled up and went out to the park anyway. Apparently, no one else was that bold, as we were the only people in the whole park. When we got back, Aunt Claire was home! Nana made me lunch and after I ate I took my nap. I woke up still in a great mood and we had fun the rest of the day. I got pretty distracted putting on and taking off a new pair of orange striped shorts! Dad got home right before bed and gave me a week’s worth of kisses.
I woke up with Dad and Julie played with me until Nana came around 9:00. It was a much nicer day today and we had a fun 2-hour outing to the park. We had a picnic lunch (which Dad stopped by to visit!) and then went to bed. When I woke up from my nap, Grandpa Yagan was here and we played all kinds of fun games until Mom got home. We ate a fun meal and then went to sleep.
Saturday morning was Dad’s birthday! Mom was up early and eveyrone was in such a great mood! We celebrated by going on our usual grocery store run. It was also my first practice of the new soccer season. I’m in a new class, in a new location, with a new coach. It’s all professional-feeling, with fake grass and everything. It got off to a good start (I hugged one of my teammates!) but I had a complete meltdown and spent most of practice crying in Dad’s arms. It wasn’t fun at all.
I got home and had lunch with Aunt Claire. After my nap, A/C and Mom were both home and we had fun playing together. Dad got home and then he and Mom went to dinner to celebrate his birthday while I stayed home with A/C.
Sunday morning was fun, as Dad and Aunt Claire were both playing with me. Aunt Claire took me on a walk to Starbucks and Bagel on Damen, where I got a deviled egg (yum!). After lots of quality time with Aunt Claire I ate lunch and then took a nap. When I got up, Dad and I cooked our usual Sunday dinner. Mom was a bit late (giving A/C a ride to the airport) but got back in time to eat with us. After eating a lot of blueberries, Dad took me upstairs and put me to bed.
Last year, we retired my jumperoo!

Hey, Maggie –
I love the new photo of you and Aunt Claire with your tricycle. You look so grown up! I also think your Very Hungry Caterpillar looks wonderful on you.
I am not so thrilled about your Cubs jacket, though. I think your daddy and I are going to have to have another chat about this! I know you have a more appropriate red jacket, because I bought it for you….go Cardinals! 🙂
Love you bunches, my Goofy Girl –
Grandma
