First day on the job

Today was the first day I was left to babysit Eli unsupervised while Nico and Alexis went to work. We had a great time together. In the afternoon we walked to Luxembourg gardens. I have been fortunate to see Luxembourg in 3 out of 4 seasons in the last 15 months. It was really fun to see it in the summer.

The stroller effect:

Alexis and I have both noted how I always get random people coming up to me asking for directions: NYC, London, and Paris. It has become kind of a joke here how many French people come up to me to ask for directions. In the states, I am often stopped in stores and asked questions like I work at the place.

Alexis and I wondered if the phenomenon would be heightened when I have a baby in a stroller. Answer: yes. I didn't get further than the first major intersection before an elderly lady with a cane came up to me pointing down a street clearly asking a question. I was gone for 2 hours and had 3 people stop me. Alexis has had that many in the 4 months of pushing Eli around in the stroller.

I bought a crepe and Eli had a bottle. I had the better of the 2 options. This is his "post- meal" look.
