Matilda has not only been in a bar (well, a small restaurant with a big bar), she sat
on
the bar and had her first drink of water out of an actual glass made of glass at the bar. But we did bundle her up and take her home before 8:30.
I can't imagine taking her into an actual drinks-only, bar-type bar, unless it was a brief stop someplace where we knew the bartender and wanted to show her off. Not sure it's even legal here; the only time I've ever walked into a proper bar with her (hanging with juliana and other localistas in North Beach on a coolish afternoon, planning to stop in at a completely empty neighborhood spot for a quick cup of something warm, possibly just coffee), the bartender promptly banished us.
Allyson, that's great!
So I appear to have survived the week, which, two weeks ago, I did not expect.
Whew.
There was a dicey moment early on, but it turned out to be the result of a miscommunication and lo! no one actually threatened to quit.
hides, shamefaced as has had baby in numerous bars at 9pm. Including Pat O'Briens on Bourbon Street.
Pfft. That was New Orleans. As long as Emma switched her liquor from a glass container to a plastic cup before heading out on the street, she was in the clear.

Yeah, Tosca's is pretty strict about that kind of stuff. However, it is illegal to have any minor inside a drinks-only bar here. Which is why a couple bars have outside seating now - it's legal to have the kid sitting outside the establishment.
See sarameg? Survival! All you have to do is keep getting out bed in the morning and not making any drastic decisions.
Curious about this. Because if it's true, that's too cool.
Hmph. It'll be nice to not wake up in a state of panic.

Yeah, whereas in a lot of places, bars are required to serve food...
Also: quite nearly 5pm and STILL NO UPS. GRRRRRRR.

Oh, please please please let that be true...

Hmm. I can't see how that wouldn't end up putting a lot of stress on the backs of the shoulders, ending up slumped over by the end of the day. Also, I can see how it could look good when you're standing still, but there's really nothing there to prevent bounce when actually moving.
