Madeline also played with her great grandparents for a bit.
Then Madeline, her grandma, and I went to Southside Community Land Trust's annual plant sale. (We never miss it; here's last year's visit.) Madeline was a bit overwhelmed by all the activity.
But she soldiered through.
After a stop at home, we all proceeded to Barrington. We visited the beach ...
... where the rest of us remained while Summer and Madeline attended a party at Summer's boss's house.
Next order of business was a seafood feast at Evelyn's Nanaquaket Drive-In. Madeline was impressed.
She had clams and calamari and lobster and scallop and ate every bit. Nummy nummy num. Then it was time to go home.
But the fun was far from over: the evening featured birthday cake for Unclesaurus Rex. Madeline enjoyed quite a bit of Summer's slice of cake and some of mine too.
Finally, before bed Madeline brought many gifts to bestow on her great grandparents: a doggy, a football, a sea star, another ball, and a cow card.
By this point, though, she was getting sleepy. And so bedtime followed in short order.
You neglected to mention the French fries, corn and bowl of roasted string beans that she also dispatched...and all the Puffs as well. She is a real party girl and behaved beautifully and patiently twice in one day. In the morning we had brunch at Olga's and she ate most of her Grandmother's waffles and strawberries as well as cheerios and puffs and milk...before saying "All done", most pleasantly. She does indeed let you know when "enough is enough". What a treasure she is...with her sense of humor and her dear little smile. You folks deserve an A+ in parenting..xoxoxo N
