Field Trip Day!

Yesterday, I joined Meryl’s class for a field trip to Seattle Center. We took the bus, played around Seattle Center, and rode the Monorail. Meryl played with the Sonic Bloom flowers, climbed about 4’ of the Space Needle, and had so much fun. I even pointed out the building where her Mama and Dada got married.

Track pack

The birthday circuit continued last weekend. This time, at a park with trains passing by. Can we all just agree that, at any age, hanging out with our friends doesn’t take much to mean a lot?

Rising above

A lot of the news sucks right now. Meryl picked this book out (on her own accord) last weekend at the book store, I had to buy it. Ever since, she’s been studying the pages on prominent women and pressing their corresponding buttons to hear each woman’s speech. We’re learning a lot too!

Hula soccer

Let’s face it, soccer at this age is a practice of, “can you follow directions and stay on task?” This week, Meryl decided that everything was more fun with a hula hoop…between running off into the distance, stacking cones instead of lining them up, and stopping everything in pursuit of getting an octopus stamp on her hands.
