aquarium

Iris had her first trip to the aquarium last week. In addition to being a massage therapist, our nanny works with a non-profit that was having a fundraiser at the aquarium. So we did the very uncharacteristic thing of taking Iris out on the town after dinner time.

My mom had come in for short visit because Evan had a business trip in California. At some point during the last few weeks of vomiting we decided that it was better to have two people with Iris in the evenings to help out in case of vomiting.

Iris wasn't really sure what was going on and it took her a while to figure out that there were living creatures behind the glass. Finally, she got really excited about them and was totally wired. She also wanted to make friends with all the little people she saw, and was sometimes more interested in the people than in the water bound animals.

It was hard to get used to her running freely and not having to worry about the oxygen cord. It was also a weird sensation [in a good way] to have Iris look like a totally normal kid, instead of a sick baby. We took the oxygen with us and left it in the car so that she would have it on when she fell asleep.
