Ada and I were at Brit’s Pub. I took her downtown by herself since Helena had a friend coming over to the house and Liam was headed over to another friend’s house. We went to Candyland, where she got her usual jelly beans. Then we took the skyways all around downtown. She told me many times that she was thirsty and hungry, and that she wanted to eat out. Since I haven’t taken the kids out to eat in awhile, we ended up at the pub.

Ada liked looking at the flags hanging from the ceiling, and she wanted to walk upstairs since she could see it from the place where we were sitting. For awhile as we sat, we heard a boy screaming excitedly every few minutes, which Ada liked. Once we had finished, the little boy that was so loud was looking out the window by where we were sitting. So Ada was pleased that she got to see the boy. Then he comes over and I tell Ada to say hello. His parents tell him, Sid, to say hello. Then he gets closer, puts his hands on Ada’s chest and says, “Tickle, tickle”. Well, Ada absolutely laughed at that despite her surprise. When Sid left, Ada said, “He was cute”. And she talked about it all night, although she kept saying, “What was that boy’s name?”
