Saved By the iPhone

I had plans to go out to a new sushi place with Uncle Ninong and our friend, Jess. We made sure to go early to avoid any late evening grouchiness Grace sometimes gets when she's tired.

Still, about two minutes after we were seated at our table, Grace was screaming, "I'm DONE," and demanding to be let out of the high chair. And it was thirty seconds after that when we were saved by the iPhone.

Jess whipped out her handy dandy phone, found a Dora the Explorer TV episode, set the iPhone on the table and let it work it's magic. Grace was mesmerized with watching her favorite show on such a small 'TV' and she was well behaved for the rest of our dinner.


Earlier in the day, we had an awesome time visiting with the Baggetts. It was like old times for us- the kids ran around while Nellie and I tried to have a coherent conversation. Just the setting was different. We used to have impromptu play dates all the time in Jacksonville before they abandoned us for Virginia, ordered by the Navy. It was good to see them all settled and doing well even though Grace and I still miss them terribly and wish they could have stayed with us in Florida.



It was an absolutely fantastic Friday!
