Eleanor took lots of trips\u00a0out to parks\u00a0this week, with Mimi in town all week and Dad taking a day off to play.\u00a0 She had lots of fun on the swings, and took her first trip down a slide all by herself (and loved it!).\u00a0 Then on Sunday, she went to North Avenue beach for the first time, and played in the sand and dipped her feet into the lake.\u00a0 In addition to working on her walking, Eleanor has been concentrating on her shape sorter this week.\u00a0 She loves to help push the shape through the hole – and sometimes can even do it by herself.\u00a0 She is also asserting her eating preferences by depositing less desirable food directly onto the floor.\u00a0 It turns out the oranges and avocados make a particularly satisfying “splat” when they hit the floor.<\/p>\n

A few non-Eleanor related highlights, we came back from the park on Tuesday to find our entryway coat rack on the floor\u00a0and one cat on super high alert.\u00a0 On Thursday night, we had a crazy hail storm\u00a0with hail landing on the deck that was larger than a quarter.<\/p>\n
