Last night the Demings hosted a dinner/pot luck for Deming-Birdy friends Emmanuelle, Hilary, Joshua and, of course, Hugo! This was primarily for Michelle and Hilary and Manu to meet as they are helping to throw us a baby shower for Philly friends! But what a sweet night it was. The Demings made halibut, currently Andrew's favorite fish, we brought mushroom risotto, and Hilary made one of her killer salads, and Manu and the family brought dessert!
And we had a lovely time, relaxing and making friends, catching up, watching Hugo meet/play with Boyne, the dog. And when Hugo saw the tape measure it was serious play from that point on. He and Andrew measured door frames, table heights, dog tails, floor boards, complete focus all the way up to dinner.
When it was time for dinner, the tape was put away but not removed from Hugo's memory. Oh what a tricky thing it is to distract a child with full sights set! And although we tried to hide it, to seduce him with yummy food, it wasn't enough to break his love affair with the tape measure. And after a while of trying it seemed only reasonable to share our meal with his new best friend as well.
And we did. One big happy extended family.
