Date Night!

Ava's first trip on PUBLIC transportation

it must have been meant to be, because today was "SAVE the air & ride FREE" day

She wanted to explore

Ewwwww.........don't let her touch anything!

she did AMAZING with the 10 minute wait at the restaurant

They gave us a nice, cozy booth.....where we proceeded to take turns eating one handed while feeding Ava. Our first REAL date out and Jon ended up knocking over his drink trying to use chopsticks to grab his appetizer and I was the lucky one to be holding her while she decided to lose about an ounce of her dinner on me. Then when we thought that the evening was coming to a pleasant end, Ava thought it would be HILLARIOUS to let me change one of her first "solid food" diapers (because I incorrectly assumed that only the women's room had a changing table (which BY THE WAY is my largest complaint about parenting -- the lack of eqaul opportunity restrooms in public places). It wasn't until I sat back down to enjoy what was left of my dessert that Jon laughed and mentioned he had seen a changing table in the men's room, but that's okay, because he only thought the carrotts were bad, but this weekend is sweet potatoes and I'm going to bet that that's WAY BETTER! MuHahahahahahahahaha.

(we won't do pictures for all that portion, for those of you with weak tummies and well because that would be pretty tactless of us)

There was just a little bit of day light left on our ride home, which was nice because Ava gets pretty scared in the dark. All in all, it was a fabulous "date night."

***A special thank you to the old, sickly, coughing man that sat down right next to Ava on the train.***
