Playdate in Lincoln Square

Baker and I met up with some new friends, Kim and her son Dylan, for a play date in her neighborhood.  Chicago is divided up into a million neighborhoods and it's very overwhelming to figure out!  But Lincoln Square is a really quaint area and their park is fabulous!  Baker had a blast playing there.


One of the nannies brought a stroller full of trucks and once Baker spotted them, as soon as we got there, he was in heaven.  He didn't leave this little patch of dirt the entire time!

Baker & Dylan playing in the dirt.  Baker had been submerged in it earlier and left filthy!
 
On our way out, he got on this fun spinning thing...his face says it all.  Poor thing couldn't even stand up when he got off he was so dizzy.
When we got home, we heard Giada was 3 blocks away doing a cooking demo so we stopped by to see her.


She is just as lovely in person!
Seriously, no one should be this cute and tiny after eating so much pasta.
After the demo, she was signing books but the line was just too long so we stood off to the side.  She got word of Bake screaming her name from the side of the stage and stopped what she was doing to say hi to him.  :)  How nice was that?
