Maeve and Lilly

Maeve headed off to school with a box of cupcakes under her arm. She had opened a pile of presents before breakfast and was buzzing about all the clothes from Nanny and the new desk for her room. After work we went out to a birthday dinner at a restaurant of her choice. (Any guesses? Culvers. Surprise!)

Friday night, I put together Maeve’s new desk. At some point, I had to flip the leg assembly over and, with a sickening thud, connected with Maeve’s mouth as she bent forward putting her head in exactly the wrong place at the wrong time. The super-wiggly front tooth as knocked out and the blood gushed. Needless to say, I felt terrible. After we got her settled in bed with tissues and the boo-boo bunny, Maeve immediately directed me to get back to work on the desk. She recovered quickly and even began to wonder whether the Tooth Fairy might leave her more money since it was so painful. (She did.)

Saturday we had a birthday party for all her little friends (Riley, Morgan, Carolyn, Geri, Nora). It was a low-key affair with cake, ice cream, presents, and barely controlled chaos in the bouncy house in the back yard. After the dust settled, Maeve spent several hours registering her new Webkinz on-line.
