Surmounting the McDonalds Playland Obstacles
I accompanied the kids to the local McDonalds today for lunch. We go for the playland, not for the food (the kids would much prefer to eat Mac-n-Cheese at Sherm's or at Pallino). After the kids picked over their happy meals, they were set loose in the playland area.

Heretofore, Eliana could do nothing more than play in the ground area of the playland. But today, for the first time, she negotiated her little body (with great effort) up and beyond the obstacles designed to keep the smaller kids from ascending to the higher levels. To say that she was elated by her accomplishment to reach such great heights would be an understatement. Berkeley was quite happy to have her up there as well; in fact, he conducted a small tour and showed Eliana every nook and cranny of the private fortress they could now share together.
