My parents came into town this past weekend for my graduation #1. We decided to take advantage of the warm weather and our trip into the city by stopping shortly at the Lincoln Park Zoo in the morning. It was Lauren's first time at this zoo and she is STILL talking about it.
We then headed to the Field Museum where my graduation ceremony was taking place. We were a little worried about Lauren since she was going to be there about 3 hours and expected to be on her best behavior. She fell asleep shortly before the ceremony started and stayed asleep about 40 minutes. She did REALLY well and only made a short fuss at the end when her diaper got wet.
Officially Jamie Rouse, MS (Master of Science in Child Development). Although that will change next week :) If you are ever thinking about a masters/PhD in Child Development or Early Education, I highly recommend Erikson. It is a great, comprehensive program that pushes you beyond what you think you are capable of. They really want to make your graduation a memorable experience and strive to make it very personal. Each graduate stands on stage and hears a little blurb about themselves written by their advisor before receiving there diploma.
Watching the apes (aka 'Grapes'). They were eating some lettuce and Lauren really surprised me by saying and signing at the same time, 'salad'. I can't believe she remembered that sign!
