Millennium Park Madness!

Last week, we met up with some other playgroup pals for Wiggleworms at Millennium Park. Lots of fun, which we'd like to share with you here.

If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands,
...blow a kiss,
...touch your nose,

...or give a hug!
After the music (and after Eliza and Connor tore around the lawn for a while), we all went down to the fabulous fountain to play.
Eliza and Connor were mystified by the shower of water.Run, run, run! Splash, splash, splash!

Rachel knows what it's all about!
Can we come back here every week???

Water babies

Every Sunday, Eliza and Mac go to the YMCA for swim class. There are several positives about this: Eliza gets comfortable with the water; she and Mac get some daddy/daughter time; and I get a much needed 90 minute break each week. However, this past Sunday was the last day of the session, which meant I could come along and take pictures. So here they are (btw, it's really hard to take pictures of moving children in a pool. These are the least blurry of the bunch).


They work on many skills, including jumping off the side of the pool:chasing after balls:
floating on backs:

and generally having a good time.


And because it was the last day of class, Eliza got a gift from the instructors. Yet another rubber duckie for her collection. It's the same gift each session, but this time she got a PRINCESS DUCK!
