Birthday Parties, Grandparents and DIY

This weekend was a busy one. On Friday Emily's parents flew in to town. We were worried for a while they wouldn't make it because of a winter storm warning that had closed all Houston schools, but apparently planes are hardier than kids. Anyway, Bluet was delighted to have visitors (her teacher, who babysat on Saturday, asked 'Where is Wayne' and Bluet said 'We lost him'). While they were here Bluet helped with a bit of DIY, played with playdoh and silly putty, and went for a walk in the park.

On Sunday she attended a Birthday party, the first time she has been to one where she knew the child, rather than us knowing the parents. They had a bouncy castle, which Bluet loved, and also one of these things to practise baseball

And last night Ilona slept for 9 hours, or something. 

Oh,and I saw my dream car. Twice

Visitors from Missouri

Well it was a busy weekend for us on Bluet's 10th Month BIrthday - her grandparents came to visit from Missouri, and I think I can safely say a good time was had by all. On Friday whilst I was at work everyone else headed out for fun in the city, and maybe Emily (or Bluet) will Blog about that.

On Saturday we headed to brunch at the Atlantic Grill, where Bluet enjoyed the free crayons, as you can see here. 

After brunch I took Bluet home to sleep whilst everyone else went off to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It was a long nap.

Here she is, raring to meet up with everyone else, minutes after awakening.

After she woke, she and I traversed the park as fast as possible (her in the pram and me pushing) and met everyone else at the Whole Foods Market (New York's finest supermarket chain) where there just happens to be a rather cosy bar. Here, Bluet particularly enjoyed looking at people buying cheese out of the window, then, later on, she looked at us in through the window, and waved. She is getting good at this.
