Backstage Pass

Today I got Adara all dressed up in her lovely corduroy scottie dog dress (pics to come) and took her down for her first official visit to a theatre. Len is working on Dirty Dancing at the Royal Alex and wanted to show her off to workmates. It all went remarkably well! For those of you who don't know, my baby has a strangely predictable, set your watch to it, 90minute cycle. In 90 minutes she eats, gets changed, played with and is tired and cranky again. Then she goes to sleep for however long,and we do it again. I checked back on the blog and she's been on this particular schedule since December 20th; relatively long for a baby. So at 4pm, I woke her, fed her, changed her, put on the dress, stuck her in the carseat, drove down town and unloaded her at the theatre. It was now 5pm, so as we toured from dressing room to dressing room showing off our beautiful babe, I was counting down to Len. "You've got 15 minutes left, 10, 5, 3, and she's crying" Like clockwork, 87 minutes after waking, the crying started, but that's ok 'cause the visiting was done too!
It was lovely to meet everyone and to show off our darling and she slept on the way home, so all is well.
