We treated our daughter to her first outing today. She has been sequestered in either our home or the hospital for nearly five weeks and was due a little activity. Mommy and Daddy were thrilled! First, we shuttled her to a nearby park to feed the ducks. She excitedly called after them as we threw leftover bread into the pond. We lingered until every last crumb was tossed from two old bags.
Next, we treated her to a lunch out at one of her favorite restaurants. She was so elated to hear that we were taking her for a ride in Daddy's car that she flapped her arms enough take flight. This lunch outing was enabled by a convenient, new Child of Mine travel booster seat that was willed to us from another hippie's mom. Due to the wide width our hippie's legs are casted, she cannot fit into a standard restaurant high chair or booster.

In similar fashion, she cannot fit into her usual car seats with her cast. We are fortunate in that Scottish Rite loans one seat per child in the program. We were discharged with the car seat on Monday and used it to drive her home and to lunch today.

We returned home feeling a little refreshed by our afternoon escape and satisfied with our first jaunt out together. Here's to gaining a little bit of normalcy back into our lives!
