As I mentioned earlier, we have been walking to church using the baby backpack. On the way home this Sunday, little Lucy just couldn't keep her eyes open and her head was bobbing back and forth so David and I carried the backpack horizontally home, so that she could get some shut eye. I just love how her feet dangled. It was pretty heavy and I started thinking "Wow, the things parents do for their children..." there truly is nothing else like loving your own child.
We laid her down and she continued to sleep on the ground in the backpack like a little princess. Usually, Lucy would have woken up immediately. She must have been really tired. I did transfer her to her bed and she grumbled a little, but went right back to sleep.
I guess we just wore her out the night before. We went to Lucy's first play at the outdoor Scera SHell theater. We watched "The King and I." It was a great show and Lucy loved it. She was good for almost the whole 2 and1/2 hours. I had to walk around in the back for the last scene, but that was it (and you really can't blame a baby for acting that way at 10:30 p.m.). The rest of the time she loved the music and clapped when everyone clapped. Toward the end she was getting tired and would rest her head on my lap, but whenever she heard clapping she bolted up like "hey, what did I miss?' and then started clapping. What a fun experience to share your favorite things in this world with your little precious child and watch them enjoy it as well. On the way out she was kicking to the music and lively as ever. I think Lucy found another one of her loves in this life (or maybe Mom is just hoping she will have a little musical theater buddy)!
