Grandma!

Henry and Eleanor welcomed Grandma for a quick visit this week – Eleanor was very excited that Grandma was going to sleep in her room. A few weeks ago she “made a bed” for Grandma out of blankets and pillows, and she recreated it on top of the air mattress before Grandma arrived. Henry loved playing on the air mattress, and on Grandma’s last day here he even sat on her lap and let her read him a story! Maybe next visit he will let her read him a bedtime story. We also had a fun visit with Uncle B, complete with Potbelly’s and a few guitar songs.

Henry and Eleanor got presents from Mackenzie in the mail – they loved opening the package and unwrapping their fun new fuzzy friends. Grandma brought with her some presents from Jack – Henry loved the matchbox cars and immediately started racing them down the slide. Eleanor loved the Barbie pony set – and set to work getting both the doll and pony all dressed up. Thanks!!!

Also notable this week – it was the last outdoor soccer class for Eleanor for the season, and Eleanor and Henry took a fun boat ride on the Chicago river to check out the architecture.
