Prodip, Amy, Eloise

With their visit from HK overlapping with GR deadlines, I almost thought I was going to miss my friends Prodip and Amy. But the mag was officially out of our hands yesterday, so I took Eloise out for brunch with them this morning.

I don't have many chances to take Eloise out by myself, and this was kind of like practice for next week when Wendy's parents are away and I get to be Mr. Mom. Luckily, it turns out Amy teaches kids so they were totally bonding in the car, in the restaurant, and in general. (Prodip had a slightly harder time, but his art, design, and UFO studies can't be beat.) A breeze, and the $5.99 "Americana" specials aren't bad, either.

The lessons are (1) to schedule something every day because Eloise likes going out and (2) to make sure there's one back-up person to help out in case of meltdown!
