The baby had a very eventful day in that I kept her company all day by working from home. I think she was pleasantly surprised, esp. since she had to wait an hour or so from the time she got up to when I finally got out of bed. As we do every morning, we played fetch for a short while, after which I fixed her breaky that she gobbled up. as I am wont to do while she's eating, I snuck off to the b-room to shower. However, I had to interrupt my shower -- I'd just conditioned my hair -- to come out and clean up after the baby who had taken the opportunity to yump. She was confused that i returned to the shower instead of following her out of the b-room for a game of fetch (her spirit is always high after doing her b-room business).

While doing my work, I kept the France-Italy game in the background. I was rooting for les bleus while the baby was rooting for the azzurris so it was rather tense afternoon. Unfortunately for me, France lost and I had to endure the baby's dance of joy for the Italians. Bleh.

The other thing of note during the afternoon was an accident that occurred right outside our building. Sadly for us, we couldn't see anything because it happened on our side of the street. The only thing that we could see were the looks of shock from the pedestrians across the street. And boy, were there a lot of gawkers. Here's a sampling:


Later, after dinner, the baby and I took a lovely stroll around the Heights where we encountered a puppy wearing Pawz, a type of rubber bootie. I see a trip to the pet store in our future.
