Juliet learned to drink out of a straw today while we were out to lunch with Lisa H and Francheska, fellow escapees from Alliance Residential. I ordered her mac & cheese at Nordy's cafe and it came with apple juice in a covered cup with a straw. It took her a few tries to figure it out, but she did it. I wanted to bring it home, but by the time she and Gaby were done with carrying the straw around, I thought it best to leave it for the trash. They had fun playing and terrorizing the other diners together while the three of us chatted, periodically taking breaks to chase one or both of them down. We went to the zoo with Gaby and Francheska last weekend, but I didn't get any photos of them together, so I made up for it today.
Watch Juliet being coy with Gaby.
The problem with lunching at Nordstrom is that the Cafe is on the same level as the children's section. I tried the Ugg boots that I have been coveting for Juliet on her as we were leaving. She had a darling pair from my uncle Gerry and aunt Deedee, but she has now outgrown them (although I have still been squeezing her into them, they are really meant for pre-walkers and have a soft sheepskin sole). I was very close to buying new ones for her, but decided not to (okay, what I really decided was to wait, but the point is I resisted - even though they are SO cute - they look better with the top standing up, more like a traditional Ugg). She just got new boots on Friday, so it seemed a little excessive to spring for a second pair already. Maybe for Christmas.
