Scenes from the Weekend: 7/10/23

Good morning!

Coming in late this morning because Ishu took a whopping 3 hours to fall asleep last night.

I feel like this is my fault though. We had a busy morning yesterday and so, by the time his nap was over, I was resistant to leaving the house and/or doing anything at all. And this is a kid that NEEDS to be moving his body and releasing all the energy. And, well, he wasn’t given an opportunity to do that.

So I’ve only got myself to blame.

Oh well. Lesson learned.

Let’s do a weekend recap!

Friday

Ankur and I picked Ishu up from school and went straight to the park. We spent 3+ hours outside and joined a “Bye Bye Daycare” party for one of our friends’ kids. They just bought a home in Lincoln Park and are leaving the daycare they were attending here in Streeterville.

We ate pizza, danced to the Gummy Bear and Freeze Dance songs, and attempted to throw Frisbees. It was really nice to be outside and enjoy the beautiful weather (and a dinner I didn’t have to make!).

Saturday

We went to a pizza tasting party! Hosted by Ankur’s program director. She got pizza from four different deep dish places. The thing about deep dish is that it really only tastes delicious when you eat it fresh at the restaurant. But I loved the idea and I loved getting to meet some of Ankur’s people. We stayed for a couple hours and then came home to put Ishu to nap (and I took a nice lil nap myself).

He ended up sleeping ’til 5pm! When he woke up, we made a trip to Jeni’s and then decided to go see the fireworks at the Navy Pier.

Sunday

We went to Storybook Yoga at the Nature Museum. We all gathered on the terrace and Ishu was into it for half the time. The other half of the class, he spent running around the terrace, roar-ing at the birds.

After the class, we walked through the museum a bit. And, my favorite part of the museum, the Butterfly Haven!
