We have managed to cross off one thing on our list of things to do in Madison - Babcock Ice Cream. What a delicious delight, replete with dripping cones, messy faces, and down home dairy goodness. Erica went for the usual chocolate peanut butter in a sugar cone. The Foster family seemed to favor the orange custard chocolate chip. Also, the Fosters managed to astonish Erica with their similar ice cream eating tactics - they all use a finger to push ice cream into the cone so that when they get to the cone part there is ice cream in it! (Erica just uses her tongue to push the ice cream into the cone.) Previously she had thought Rory was alone in this odd habit, but both Linda and Dani did it! There is still time for Audrey and Drew....
We've been seeing some of Baube too. She is doing well and more accepting of help than on prior visits. She had a grocery list at the ready, as well as a plan for the different things she wanted "cooked" for her. Today she hovered as Erica expertly chopped some fruit and mixed it with cottage cheese. Baube needs a 2nd breakfast so she won't starve before lunch and this concoction seems the perfect fit.
Tomorrow we may even get her out to the Arboretum. We are excited to see what it is in bloom there with the warm and wet summer Madison has been having.
