Well we ventured out for a Memorial Day party at my friend Rebecca’s yesterday. All went well until Lela woke up and realized that she was in a strange place. Piper woke up and figured it was okay because Mommy and Poppy were still there but she was not about to give out her beautiful smiles willy nilly. Lela on the other hand went into a tissy and could not be consoled. It was a bit heart breaking and after a couple hours of driving her in the car, consoling her in the back room, trying to get her to eat etc., I threw in the towel and we all headed home. I heard one party goer say, “Well Jason and Mystique aren’t the life of the party anymore.” But as I heard him say it a smile crept across my face because we are the life of our own party:) and that is just fine with me.
As soon as we got home, beautiful Lela opened her eyes realized she was home and then began kicking her legs tour de lance style and smiling the biggest grins you have ever seen. Just a little sign to mommy that she is not quite ready for the big wide world yet, and that is A-OK with me.
