I know, I know

Wow, it has been a long time since I've been seen around here. By now, most of you have probably stopped checking for updates. I'll try to be better. If I can I'll even try to get some photos up here. It can be challenging, but I'm up for it.

What is happening in Maeve Space?

Maeve started in-home child care two days/week. She is loving it! The first day drop off was harder on me than on her, but since then we have all found some peace with it. Maeve hangs out with her beloved buddy Milo and her new friends Wren and Fletcher. Wren is 10 weeks older than Maeve (she'll be 2 in August) and Fletcher is pulling up the rear of the group and will be 1 in August. They all have a blast together. Wren being almost 2 has some moves that she has been sharing with Maeve and Milo. They "fight" over things now and declare items as "mine." Of course it was bound to happen sooner or later, having a 2 year old around has just brought that on a bit sooner. What can you do?

Maeve is adding words to her vocabulary each day. She is a bit like Rainman right now as she practices them. "Down, down, down...pee, pee, pee...poo, poo, poo" The list goes on. It's all rather endearing most of the time. Practicing at 1-4 am is not so fun though. Yes folks, we were all sleeping like perverbial babies until very recently. Apparently the system must be on for the updates a young child's brain gets while rewiring for all the new activities it's about to embark on.

Lots of visits from family. Uncle Brendan and Monica then Uncle Paul and Michelle. Soon Grandpa Evan and Nana Fran will be here then off to Virigina Beach for the Healy compound.

Generally lots of summer time fun - swimming, running around bare foot, ice pops and friends.

There is the update - I'll try my best to check back here soon with some photos for all.
