Big day for bonzo!
Saturday was a day filled with wonder for little Elinor. Well, maybe not, but she did do some interesting outings! First off, Midge had her first trip to the farmer's market! Sadly, she was not in the mood so the trip only lasted about 10 minutes, so she also missed out on seeing Paul and Robin there. Hopefully she'll come to like the place since her mother certainly likes to go!
Then after work we went across town to what must be the most child friendly restaurant around, Peanut Butter and Ellie's! Featuring a kid-oriented menu, chalkboard walls, a play area in the middle of the dining room, toys, games, and lots of kids... literally everyone there brings kids so there were certainly more little children than adults. We'd never been there before but what got us out there was a performance by the one and only Johnny Keener! It was quite enjoyable! He played a nice selection of some of our favorite folks songs and some other nice classics (even an Elvis tune!), so it was all around nice... We hadn't seen Johnny in probably a year and it was fun to go somewhere that half the patrons were under the ago of six.
Enjoying her first concert
Johnny!
Then, at home, after getting her to put up with Grandpa Bruce's rocking chair for while, I set her down for her first ever nap in her cradle! Luckily, it took a good 15 minutes for her to realize it...
Other news though... Lately she has made it a habit of getting upset whenever we get ready to go anywhere... Staying upset in the car and even when we arrive... But on the other hand, she is getting better at sleeping through the night (at least the last two) and last night she slept in her basket for 5 hours! So that's good. I'm feeling less rested than normal, but since it's been better on the sleep end, it must be due to the hotter weather.
And on a sad note, one of her beloved pets, Lox, passed away yesterday... Though the natural death of a Goldfish has a painless look to it, the lounging about on its side for hours certainly makes for a sad and pitiful event. We have tried to shield Elinor from it, so hopefully she'll be ok.
