Day 106 - April 15

We took a leap of faith yesterday and purposefully planned to allow Michaela to skip her nap. The annual Strawberry Festival was going on over across the bay and we didn't want to miss it. We would've gone on Saturday morning, but Jason didn't get back until dinnertime and I couldn't take her by myself since I can't go on any rides.

So we chose to come home from church, grab a quick lunch, forego the nap, and have fun at the Festival.

It even mostly worked. We only had a few cranky moments when she wasn't doing exactly what she wanted, but she was pretty good. She crashed in the car on the way home, so it was touch and go at actual bedtime last night, but, overall, we learned she can hang.

(This is valuable information because she has to skip a nap to see the Fresh Beat Band in two weeks in New Orleans, so it was good to find out in advance that it won't be a complete disaster.)

The Strawberry Festival is a smallish fair, perfect for a toddler who doesn't love lines and having to wait in them to take her turn on rides. And they have a "roller coaster" and a carousel. What's not to love?
