Chase’s first big adventure for Friday was Laptime at the Clayton Library. He wore his little tiger outfit and was quite the star of the day. When he’d crawl around the floor, people said, "Tiger on the loose" or "Tiger on the prowl." In one of the pictures, a little girl is patting him gently – she thought he was a stuffed animal for her to play with. Chase’s second big adventure was dinner at the Our Lady of the Snows Shrine with friends of Mama – Aunt Kristin, Uncle Chappie, Aunt Teresa, Uncle Dave, and Kristin’s mother and stepfather, Pat and Jim. Nanaw went also. Chase wore his big boy blue-plaid shirt and was our main source of entertainment. He sat at the head of the table in a high chair and did all of his favorite tricks – throwing his toys one by one on the floor for someone to pick up, staring with intense interest at the other people in the restaurant, smiling and laughing – quite the little charmer.
