SQUASH!

We started giving Leah some "solid" food this week. First-taste faces are priceless, so of course we had to capture them on film. Despite the faces she's making, she did very well eating her squash. For the record, her bib says, "Does this diaper make my butt look big?" Next up: peas!

Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My!

This week I took my sixth grade class on a field trip to Chicago for the day.  I brought Leah along, and Grandma R. came to help me out by taking care of her while I managed a class full of hyped up 13 year olds!  Our Lady of Sorrows Basilica was our first stop - it's absolutely beautiful.  The kids really enjoyed seeing the replica of La Pieta, which we learned about during our unit on the Renaissance.  Then we went to Lincoln Park Zoo, where Leah had fun looking around at everything.  It was a perfect day for the zoo - sunny and in the 70s.  Finally, we went to the Rainforest Cafe to eat dinner.  Despite the stresses that accompany planning a field trip, and traveling with a 5 month old, the day went wonderfully.  (Fortunately I had help - Thanks Mom!)
