This past Thursday evening, Aunt Julie, Aiden and Mommy all went to Cooper Young's Thursday Night Out. From 5-9 pm on the first Thursday of each month, the shops and restaurants of Midtown's Cooper Young open their doors to neighbors and visitors all around the city. Luckily, there are five or so places to sit outside, so after a nice long stroll, we all settled down on the tiny patio of Sweets. Aiden was a peach- he was content to look at the sky and trees, cooing and glancing over at us, occasionally, for reassurance. There was even another baby Aiden in company- he was 6 months old and cute to boot- and his parents were from Boston (they overheard me telling Julie about my Red Sox fan-dom).
Mommy is SO pleased that Aiden took the outing as well as he did- for over three hours he was awake, calm and happy to be out and about. Once we moved inside Sweets to eat (adults and baby), he busied himself looking at the lights, ceiling and colorful display of martini glasses. Surprisingly, Aiden even managed to catch a brief snooze during a live guitar act towards the front of the restaurant. Wow. All in all, it was so good for Mommy and Aunt Julie to get out and we enjoyed watching old friends (and strangers) ooh and aah over Baby Aiden. I must say, he did look quite adorable in his blue Winnie the Pooh sun hat.
Next month, we will visit our beloved Cooper Young again, but this time, an early reservation for the patio of Tsunami is in order. We can eat calamari and sip white wine while Aiden watches Midtown stroll by...
