Katie did, subsequently, prove quite fond of the caramel gelato that I'd gotten from a booth in the food court. I was fond of it too, along with the chocolate turtle, and dark chocolate flavors that I tried.
But I digress. Julie wasn't doing real well this evening, as she managed to poop through her diapers more than once today and periodically would urp up what she'd eaten. I finally decided that we should try her on some soy formula, so I headed off to Cub Foods again to grab some, along with laundry detergent, bleach, and some opportunistic pretzels and brown mustard as a present for Gretchen.
By the time I got back, Katie was in full-fledged clingy mode. If Gretchen was holding Julie, Katie wanted to be held by her as well, which was a bit more than Gretchen could easily handle. I eventually distracted her with the pretzels. :)
But I sang her to sleep tonight, then had to get her to go back to sleep again when she woke up when I carried her into the other room. So with luck, she'll decide we still love her.
She's just not the only center of the universe any more.
