A Great Weekend
We spent a rainy Saturday, just hanging around the house together. Ruby and I made Caramel Creme de Pots. The caramel was under-burnt, but you really can't complain when faced with 1.5 cups of sugar, cream, eggs, and milk.
Ruby insisted that she could separate and egg, so we tried together. I'm afraid that if she had to do it on her own, we would have a lot of mess :)
Miles spent most of the day on his butt, his new favorite thing. Both Vick and I are totally blown away by his sitting stability. There are some pictures in the gallery.
On Sunday, Vick joined Jennifer for the Stitches conference in Santa Clara, and Ruby and I took "the little choo choo" to the Children's Discovery Museum in San Jose. We had a total ball. It was a joy to watch Ruby self direct her fun. After about two hours, she said "Daddy, I think I need to go home now" we changed her into dry clothes (there's a huge water table in there), packed up and got on the train. We transfered after one stop, and sat down on a bench to wait for the next train. I looked over at Ruby who had become uncustomarily quiet just in time to catch her as she fell forward... fast asleep. When the train arrived, I carried her in and she snoozed on my lap until 1 stop before ours. She sprang awake, talking and looking around as if she hadn't missed a beat.
We spent the rest of the afternoon together in the living room. Vick read books, Miles and Ruby played nicely together, and I napped on the couch.
