Adelaide's first party and show (kind of)

Tonight some of our favorite bands, Samiam and Nothington played at our friend's house. It was a house party, but they started early because of the noise. The bands played in their basement, and people hung out on the sidewalk and yard as well. It was a party for adults, there weren't any other kids there, but I REALLY wanted to see the bands play and so did Myles. We figured we'd take Adelaide and see how things went. Of course we are VERY careful about her ears, and are sure to keep her away from anything loud. We also had to be careful of cigarette smoke etc....but it worked out really good. I had her in the carrier, and eventually she just fell asleep in there. I stayed out on the sidewalk where I could still hear the music, but not too loud. The best part of the night was when Myles told Jay, the singer of Nothington that Adelaide loves music, and then Jay started to sing to her. Her eyes light right up and she just stared at him, she was SO INTERESTED. You could tell he was touched by this because he kept singing and watching her, and she just kept watching him. It was an amazing moment that I wish I had on video. I sing to her all of the time, but it was amazing to see her love this really rough scratchy voice coming out of a stranger as well. At one point I felt a little bad that she was out past her bed time, but our friend Alex said to just think of it as "pay back" for 17 years from now when she has us up all night worrying about her. I thought that was a good point, and we all enjoyed the evening.
