We met Geraldine & Gaby for lunch at Times Square. Emily and I got there early and had a look around the kids department of Takshimaya department store first. I don't think I can justify buying Ralph Lauren or Burberry for Emily! The toys were fantastic, but the price tags ridiculous. It's just not worth spending £30 on a toy that she will outgrow in a matter of weeks.
I'd whetted Gerladine's appetite with descriptions of the curry we'd had at the weekend, but we couldn't eat there as they were full, so we went to the creperie along the corridor. As it transpired that Geraldine was half- French, she no doubt felt at home. We tucked into scrumptious galettes, and both babies behaved really well. Gaby sat in a high chair, and I longed to be able to put Emily in one too. Her pram was pulled up at the table so she didn't feel too left out though.
Back home after 7 hours without sleeping and very groggy, she roused herself when it came to dinnertime and wolfed a decent portion of baby rice mixed with apple puree (a.k.a. slop). Balancing her on my knee to feed her is not ideal, but I tried feeding her in the Bumbo in the morning and that didn't work either because she still slumps forward. Getting a high chair is imperative.
