Aunt Jean gave Brooke her 1st pair of shoes - some Converse All Stars. In addition, Brooke had her 1st restaurant experience:)
This morning she refused to sleep anymore after 6am. So we stalled a bit and woke up Aunt Jean a little after 7 am. (Of course, she was thrilled). Jean took a shower and got ready, then took care of Brooke while I put on clothes and tried to disguise the fact I haven't showered since Wed. And we were off!!
We took a long walk to get Brooke settled down and sleepy, and got to the restaurant about 8:40. They didn't open till 9 ... So we walked some more!
During the meal Brooke would stir if her stroller wasn't moving - so I ate my pancakes with one hand and rocked her with the other. She didn't have a fit, so I would say it was a successful outing ... But eating my meal with one hand while rocking with the other proved to be a challenging feat!
