Clara joined us for a fun evening of dinner, bowling, and a movie with our friends the Siegels last night. Unfortunately, she failed to fully appreciate the experience.
She started crying around the time our pizza came. By the time Shaun was finished eating, Mitch and I were barely started. Shaun showed off his dad-skills by not only taking charge of our Crier, but also entertaining his own son son, Jacob, while the rest of us ate. We were impressed.
Her wails didn't fully subside until the middle of our second game of bowling. During the midst of all this we learned that she's forgotten how to take a bottle, which added to her frustration. I ended up nursing her, which resulted in my highest-ever bowling score due to the fact that Mitch had to fill in for me on several frames.
When she finally settled down, she enjoyed some wide-eyed bowling spectating with her buddy Jacob. Finally, when cosmic bowling commenced, she drifted off to sleep in the darkness and flashing lights to the cranked-up vocal stylings of Rebecca Black.
What an evening! At least it all ended with ice cream.
Glad you guys had a night out, even if it was with a crying baby!
