Last week Sophie and I met Tari, Whitney, Lauren, Christine and Connor at Claddagh Irish Pub for lunch in Newport. Sophie tried to eat her mashed potatoes like a grownup, with a fork.
“Seriously, Mom, do you have to take a picture of me when I’m hanging out with my friends? Not cool.”
Then we walked across the Newport Southbank Bridge (more commonly known as the Purple People Bridge).
Sophie immediately fell asleep.
Then we went to Sawyer Point park.
Connor, Whitney and Lauren loved sitting on the grass. Sophie, however, sat on my lap, clinging to me every time I moved, terrified a blade would touch her.
There was a small snack spill, but all three girls ate them anyhow.
We ended up being out for almost four hours—it was a lovely afternoon.
