After our trip to the Getty, Eleanor slept during the drive back to the valley. I decided that because it was such a beautiful day we shouldn’t waste it by going back home. Instead we stopped for a treat first at our favorite frozen yogurt place, Menchie’s in West Hills. Eleanor was not happy to be woken from her nap, but cheered up as soon as she had some delicious kiwi strawberry sorbet (two little samples were plenty for her). Josh went for some sweet mango sorbet with gummy bears on top and I had a tasty mix of cake batter and cappuccino with nuts.

They were giving out some sweet temporary tattoos, so we thought that Eleanor should match her Momma.

We are so tough.

After our dessert, Josh decided to let Eleanor run around in front of Menchies and the movie theatre next door. Bad idea. Eleanor is an excellent walker, but the combination of a long day, sandals, and being distracted by passersby ended with Eleanor face down on the pavement. She had scrapes on both knees, nose, and forehead. I’ve been trying unsuccesfully to get a picture of the ensuing scabs. I’ll post one when I get it. I knew I should have put her in some pants, but she just looked too cute in her sundress and sandals and it was so nice and warm out. At least she’s learning early that sometimes you have to suffer for fashion.
