A Fun Day

John had a great day today. He took a walk to his two favorite fountains and even got to have a fun visit to Grammy's house today. As soon as we started driving up the tree lined avenue to Grammy's, he knew where we were going. Thanks Grammy for watching JD while we took Nicholas to his 2-month check-up.

After we were finished at Dr. K's (see Nick's blog for details), we thought it would be a nice idea to go to Village Pizzeria for an early dinner. It was the perfect time since it was pretty much empty when we got there, but people started filing in after we got there. We thought it would be easy to have John eat some cheese pizza. We even thought it would be interesting to see his reaction to their yummy garlic rolls. Clearly, he is my son since he loved the pizza and the bread, but he rejected the salad Maureen offered to him. He even got the chance to rock out to the Pixies. They were listening to the Doolittle album. My favorite is Surfer Rosa, but enough of my talk about The Pixies and their recordings. Something truly exciting happened:

John drank water directly from a cup. Lately, he's been using his sippy cup and not a bottle at all. Tonight, we didn't have a sippy cup, so we had a cup of water with a straw. He still doesn't quite get the mechanics of sucking through a straw, so Maureen started to give him water by holding it up to his mouth. Like the champ he is, he kept drinking his agua and would continually ask for more.

After dinner, we took a walk along Larchmont and saw a bunch of woof woofs. John started yelling at random strangers who'd turn to see the little 2.5-foot wonder yelling at them. He needs to learn the friendly voice.
