On our last full day in Montpelier, we decided to test everyone's mettle and have lunch in town at a real, live restaurant (an eating venue which is becoming an extremely exotic and magical concept for Schuyler's mom and dad). Well, it turns out that eating in front of the ravenous baby beast now has consequences. Only a couple of months ago, she would have played quietly and/or slept the whole time. This time... the beast was alive... and hungry. So she started fussing and saying things like "Na na na ma na ga ga joo" which i believe is a Star Wars language and loosely translated means "where the heck is MY food!?" So her dad took her across the street to the supermarket where we bought a single jar of green beans (mmm mmm good). I must have looked like a really bad kidnapper with a kid in my arms buying one jar of baby food. Anyway, she ate them voraciously with a vigour which made me question her parentage (liz and i are not fans of the green bean - although Marietta swears she could turn me to the green side). The bear was satisfied. And then we had a Code Brown. Which is exactly what you want in a semi-crowded place where people are trying to eat. But she was great afterward and people watched with Nan before we headed out. p.s. if you are in Montpelier, try the pizza roma at Sarduccis. Mmm mmm good (but not as good for you as green beans).
