Color Purple - Day 578

I had to crop this photo as the hands were a bit fuzzy due to a low-light camera setting.

Anna has been having a fun time with Aunt Susan here. Today Susan was out taking Anna for a walk several blocks from our house and someone yells out, "Hello Miss Anna." So many store workers in the area know Anna.

We also went to the Old Ebbitt Grill tonight to eat. When the waitress came to take our order she asked if we wanted french fries or apple sauce with the Anna's kids meal, and Anna just looked up at her and said, "applesauce." Of course she also ate everyone else's french fries in addition to the applesauce. At one point, she finished the applesauce, so she took the spoon, scooped up a big dollop of ketchup and put it in her mouth. We all collectively and in mild disgust uttered an, "ooooouuuuhhhh," before we plucked the spoon from her hand.

When we were leaving the restaurant they had some classical-style painting on the wall with a woman lying on a chaise with a polar bear rug on the floor next to her. Anna looks at the picture and says, "Lady sleeping with nya-nya." Apparently, everyone needs a cuddly nya-nya toy to go to bed.

On the way back to the metro, Kerry was carrying Anna and mentioned something to the effect that she was sitting on her bladder. Anna -- being a human word sponge right now -- after that just kept on repeating, "Sittin' on the bladder," over and over again.
