Some of Daddy's friends came to stay with us during the Harvard 10-year reunion this weekend so Jonah got to have a sleepover with Craig and Zach the last couple nights. Today Jonah came to campus for the mid-day family clam-bake so Daddy could show off his offspring to his other classmates. :-) As Pop-pop would say, now he can say he "went to Harvard!"Jonah hasn't tried shellfish yet, but the sweet potato and chicken are among his favorite. I did contemplate that if he were to have an allergic reaction, amidst a field of doctors and parents (possibly with an epi-pen) was not a bad place to try! Nevertheless, we didn't want to risk it quite yet and possibly spoil Daddy's fun.
Jonah had a great time dancing to Michael Jackson, Bon Jovi and Rihanna. He probably would have had a blast in the wading pools of oatmeal and bubble if we let him, but we didn't know any other kids there. So we did adult things instead...
We did what any good parents would do with an 8-month-old... we took him on a brewery tour at Sam Adams! Well, in our defense it was out of the hot weather and sun. There were big shiny things to look at, so Jonah was all set. All the Harvard crew had a nice beer tasting while Mommy tasted a root beer and Jonah Cheerios. I think out of the whole room of tasters, Jonah liked his best!
Jonah spent the evening with his Uncle Kevin and Lindsay while Daddy and Mommy attended the class of '03 soiree. I expected dancing, but the dance floor was inconveniently located inside a dorm common room, while the bar and DJ (thus all the guests) were outside on the quad. It cooled down and turned into a pleasant event, despite the detestable lack of chairs. We plotted a new fungible chair business around a cramped cocktail table and wrestled extra chairs away from reluctant volunteers. The most entertaining part was the extremely varied interpretation of "creative black tie" which ranged from a tank top and bootie shorts to a leather tailcoat.
