On Tuesday, we went downtown and took Elli to Bobby's Burger Palace. Elli had the Crunch Burger -- a cheese burger topped with potato chips . . . very American. Elli also tried sweet potatoes for the first time. She wasn't a huge fan. I actually agree with her. Regular fries are superior.
Yesterday, was a pretty slow day. I ran to Walmart and Shana's house to print a form for Elli to take to the Social Security office. I feel bad that we're not leaving the house much but the heat indices have been over 100 degrees
After being inside all day I needed a drink. The Madison Avenue Cocktail is good but not great. It could definitely use more mint.
After dinner we talked Elli through taking the Metro to the Social Security Office. She seemed extremely nervous about taking the Metro. We both felt bad. But after discussing the trip, we agreed that the sooner Elli got out on her own the better.
This morning, Elli left for the Metro and turned left out of our house when she should have turned right. We sat in the living room nervously hoping she would realize her mistake. We didn't want to call or text her because it might undermine her confidence. Our patience was rewarded when she came walking back down the block about thirty seconds later.
