Nanette's Day Out











Recently, Nanette had a very exciting day out with her mommy, Araceli. Mommy woke her up early, before it was light outside, and took her to the violin shop to watch a violin lesson. Nanette was a little fussy, so her mommy walked her up and down the hall, showing her pictures of violins. That seemed to make Nanette very happy.










From the shop, Nanette's mommy took her to her cello lesson. Nanette had her own little spot on the couch where she listened to the music and snuggled under her silky new blanket her mommy found at the violin shop. Nanette loves to listen to her mommy play the cello.











After cello, Nanette thought it was fun to go to the store with her mommy. Mommy taught her how to pick out good produce, and how to shop quickly. Nanette was good at the store, and Mommy was able to get all her shopping done.










Mommy thought it would be best if Nanette stayed in the car during Mommy's soccer game because of the cold and the pouring rain. Mommy got drenched playing soccer while Nanette watched from her carseat. She was so warm and cozy wrapped in her velvety blanket.










After the soccer game, Mommy went home and changed into her beautiful dress for cousin Jackson's baptism. Nanette didn't even have to change her clothes, because she already looked so sweet. She was wearing the same outfit her mommy wore the day she was born! The baptism was a really special event. Mommy talked to Nanette about how important this day was for Jackson. Mommy had Nanette's bottle ready in case she got fussy during the baptism, but Nanette was quiet the whole time. She was so worn out from her exciting day, she slept right through Jackson's special luncheon! That's OK, because Nanette is too little to eat real food. Isn't she lucky to have such an attentive and caring mommy? Araceli adopted her from Haiti, and she loves Nanette very much. How ever Araceli builds her future real family, I know she has all the love she needs, right there in her heart.

Just catching up, Circe. Nannette looks so healthy and well-cared for. Clearly, she has a "Mother who knows". I loved your post about S.F.--- you guys are too much. I now want to take each of my children on a 10 yr old trip--- a bit late, but oh well!
