We went out to breakfast this morning, which is sometimes a dicey proposition. But today we were smart and brought along a supply of granola for Iris, and we were able to add it to some yogurt at the restaurant and supplement with fruit, a little toast, and a piece of sausage. And she was in the mood for coloring, so she happily crayoned the kids' menu while we all enjoyed a lovely little breakfast and discussed possible baby names as well as the color of the state capitol.
A large family (much older children, parents, grandparents) was at the table next to ours, and they left as we were beginning to wind up our meal. The pater familias stopped at our table and informed us that he'd been watching and was very impressed at how well-behaved and pleasant Iris had been. He said she had beautiful manners.
It's nice to sometimes have the model kid, and it's especially nice when other folks compliment her.
About two minutes after he walked away from our table, she started blowing bubbles in her milk.
