MM (after being dressed): mama, I am a lady.
me: you are a lady? you are a ladybug!
MM (whinning): not i am not a ladybug, I am a lady! (I have absolutely no idea where the lady idea came from).
eating lemon ... okay, it was such a bad day (windy and heavy rain for the whole day, heard that it was the worst storm in the last 20 year for the south), that we could only take out the camera in restaurants. We tried and stayed out all day but it was basically just struggling with the rain and wind and trying to get somewhere with the public transit system. Tried to see the catholic cathedral, did not even succeed at getting there; went to the History of American Indian museum, MM enjoyed the film but was scared of the exhibition; she wanted to see planes instead, went to the museum of space and air, it was a full house, I have never seen so many people at one spot in the US. At this moment the storm was so bad that people could not leave, and the atrium was totally packed. But 30 mins later the museum was closing, and we were out in the storm again.
trying lebanese cuisine... thanks mamie for the treat!
ten minutes after this photo was taken, MM turned around to look at some kids at another table, and fell off her chair (face down)... many people around us gasped.. luckily she was not hurt and i quickly distracted her by offering her some ice (MM loves ice, both to eat and play with). This was already the second fall of the day, the first one was in the DC metro, she was standing (too many people), I was helping mamie folding up the stroller, the trained moved, and boom, MM was on the ground.
Just as we thought that the day was bad enough, the fire alarm rang and we were informed that the hotel was in fire and we needed to evacuate immediately. MM was already sleeping. Luckily mamie was there, otherwise I would just pick her and run without taking even a coat or a pair of shoes (people do come out in short and shoeless). It was chilly outside and after standing in the rain for a while, we could finally go back to our room (some idiot pushed some buttons by accident).
back in our room, MM went back to sleep... woke up again when papa arrived, about two hours later than expected (his plane hovered in the DC sky for an hour waiting to land) ...
