mackenzie is getting pretty excited about becoming a big sister. she bought the baby a toy with her 'very own money' a couple of weeks ago and helped us put the crib together last week. hopefully the reality will live up to her expectations. we've been going back to early BlogSpot entries to let her see how small she was and how little she actually did in the videos and she loves that.
she's been excitedly counting down our MANY summer family birthdays as a way to mark time and today, tomorrow and monday are our last birthdays before we are scheduled to be induced on monday, 12 august. she's excited about bubie and shatzie and grandma coming to visit soon as well.
we found a new place called 'my gym' that has indoor active play hours, which is great with the summer heat. mackenzie discovered a trampoline and fell in love!
the very next week we went to one of her classmate's 3rd birthday at another gym called 'my little gym'. she jumped right in and had fun. there were several of her classmates there and she had lots of fun. 7 of the 14 kiddos in mackenzie's class are having baby brothers or sisters ranging from about 2 weeks ago into october! the picture of the three girls includes ellie (mackenzie's look alike/act alike friend from school and kate, who has been with mackenzie since she started at bright horizons...so fun to watch them actually starting to develop real relationships that are not all the same! she sure has learned about cupcakes after several birthday parties!
today we took Mackenzie to the free kids workshop that home depot offers the first Saturday of every month - it's recommended for 5yrs + but she had a blast using the tools, helping daddy with the hammer, painting and then getting a button for the project. i'm sure we'll be back!
enjoy your last few weeks of summer - wherever you are!
