The Perfect Toddler Date

The Perfect Toddler Date

Rhys and ladyperegrine's 3-year-old daughter Ellie had the Perfect Toddler Date today.

1. A day at the zoo.
2. A rescue -- Ellie charged up a giant boulder, and Rhys charged up after her to save her from the whatever!
3. Holding hands in their parallel carseats on the way home.
4. A wonderful and beautiful dinner made by bard_bloom, which they could both utterly reject and refuse to eat a bite of.
5. Cuddling on the couch, watching ladyperegrine's screen saver.
6. A post-cuddle dinner of spaghetti and fruit cups, eaten with the hands, mainly off each others' plates.
7. Dessert of really excellent chocolate pudding made by beetiger.
8. A joint bathtub romp. With many, many floating ducks, and two mommies as bath attendants.

(Dinner was meatballs shaped like mice (with raisin eyes and olive ears and spaghetti-strand tails), carrot pancakes (with personal bowls of soy-vinegar dipping sauce, just like the grownups), and broccoli (which they both love).)
