Going to see the baseball team...

We took Charlie to see his third Cubs game at Wrigley Field.  This was the first game he was going to attend and likely have some understanding about what was going on and even possibly watch the game. There was a very long rain delay which allowed us time to eat all of the delicious ball park food. Once the game finally started it was late, so we watched one inning before heading home. What we failed to realize was that he thought he was going to play baseball not just watch other people play - something we will discuss before venturing to Wrigley again. 

Lincoln Park Zoo Day

We finally had a decent day over Memorial Day weekend so we headed to the zoo with the Martin's. Charlie and Emma have so much fun together!

Kids Science Lab

I signed Charlie up for classes at Kids Science Labs. Every week they focus on a new science related term and do experiments that coincide with the topic of the day. This past week, the focus was on identifying textures. The last activity of the day was coloring shaving cream, describing how it feels and then painting the walls. Charlie loved it!

Climbing the Rock Wall

We went to the gym to spend the last part of the beautiful morning and Charlie decided he was going to attempt the rock climbing wall. He not only attempted, but he did it all by himself.

Falafel All Around

Charlie's allergies are terrible right now and before heading to the doctor after school Wednesday to have him checked out we stopped for a snack. Charlie had the choice of Starbucks, bagels, or falafel and hummus. I told him to choose and he said, "I want a chocolate milk from Starbucks and falafel and hummus to eat" so that's what we did. He knows what he wants!
