"Mommy keeps trying to get me to drink out of this silly contraption."
"She's tried apple juice, watered down apple juice, and orange juice before today. Today she tried some warm formula - GROSS! I am a breastmilk only baby. Friends don't let friends drink formula."
"But then I had to rinse that nasty formula taste out of my mouth - so I actually drank 1.5 ounces of watered down apple juice in a hurry, and with excellent form. Mommy was so excited, I think she was impressed! It is fun to play with, I'll give it that."
Today I had a major case of ants in my pants. I just needed to do something different, and I was drawing a big blank. Fortunately, I called my mom to whine, and she suggested that we go bowling because Dyl might think it was fun to watch. Boy was she right - best suggestion ever! Chad and I bowled two games while Dyl sat in her stroller and took it all in. There was a bowling league there, and she loved watching all the people and watching the people next to us bowl. Chad is a much better bowler than I realized, he bowled a 138 in the second game, I improved from the first and bowled a 74 (one frame I actually got a strike, which was very exciting.) The loud noises didn't bother Dylan at all, and in fact she fell asleep just before we left. Then we decided we'd just take her for a walk outside, rather than risk transferring her to the car and waking her up. All in all it was a fun day, and we'll have to keep bowling on our list of baby-friendly activities! Thanks for the suggestion, Mom!
Glad you had a good time bowling! You are quite welcome for the suggestion. But, I'll have to give Linda W. credit for that one because she has been talking about bowling lately.
