Lesson Learned!

Our lesson we learned over the weekend...Natalie will be strapped in at ALL times from highchair to grocery cart to anything that has a strap that we took as optional will now be mandatory.

Back story on our lesson learned...

Saturday, we headed to the annual Downtown Block Party, which wasn't that exciting at least at the time we went. Afterwards, we decided to go grab something to eat at Ruby Tuesdays. Bobby sat on one side of the table with Aubrey and I sat on the other side with Natalie. Midway or so, Aubrey was fussing a bit, so Bobby held her during his meal and I fed Natalie. I was actually quite surprised and was thinking (not sure if I said it out loud) of what an actual enjoyable family meal we were having. It actually has been the trend lately to enjoyable family dinners since Aubrey has been good and enjoys sitting in the Bumbo seat with us while we eat...Natalie on the other hand is still driving us CRAZY with her food throwing!  

Anyway, since Bobby had Aubrey, I was the one that got his debit card out of his wallet and paid, then proceeded to sign the receipt. In the VERY SHORT time it takes to start to sign the receipt, the next thing I know I hear gasps and then Natalie crying, who somehow wound up on the floor!  I picked her up...she was crying bloody murder...tried to console her...while numerous eyes stared at "those parents" and offered assistance. Natalie was fine...thank goodness...just a little startled. I could not believe we let that happen. She wasn't even standing, and Bobby said it happened so fast that he couldn't even say anything to get my attention...I seriously turned my head for a second!  I think what happened was the lady that was sitting directly behind Natalie had a very enticing purse that Natalie occasionally during the meal was trying to reach, so I think while I turned my head she tried to reach too much, which flipped her over the edge of the highchair. 

So, yes, we are now labeled as "THOSE PARENTS."  Talk about embarrassing!

The rest of our weekend was pretty routine with not much to report on, just the usual things: grocery shopping, church, a trip to Menards ending with Bobby saying "I'm never shopping there again," Bobby's fantasy football draft via Skype, and even slipped in a nap while the girls napped Sunday.

Th only pictures I took this weekend were with my iPhone of Aubrey and Bobby napping.

Love her thumb placement :) 

Bobby rocking Aubrey asleep, but I think it was the other way around since Bobby fell asleep instead :)

The rocking finally worked :)
