Long, but decent weekend.

patgundSaturday, I went to Caid's Crown Tourney with my 17-month old daughter, just the two of us. (mental note: bring a cart or stroller next-time. Trying to haul stuff from car to site w/ a busy little girl was.....interesting. Ah, the joys of being a part-time single parent.
Crown was fun, and really was the first major SCA event I've attended in sometime. Little bit at first was being very shy and clingy, even with people she knows. I suspect she was overwelmed at first by all the people and all the shiny things and colours and everything. She adjusted well though, and spent a large amount of time walking me around the place and playing "me do". Several people asked me how she was doing after her burn last month, (Pink, new skin, and rapidly healing is the answer.)
Bought her a teddy bear from one of the merchants. Visited people I haven't seen in a while.
Little bit ended up playing a couple of times with the 10-month old daughter of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
celticdragonfly and selenite. Which was fun to watch. She would hand her bear to their daughter, who would wave it around and hand it back to little bit. Who would wave it around some more and hand it back to the younger baby, and the cycle continued for a while. Two children, both developing language and fine muscle control, one a toddler, one starting to become such. They seemed to have had fun.
Blew part of my tax refund on a beautiful damascus steel dagger from Oso Forge. I'll have to take a picture and post it later. Sharp as blazes, with a black water buffalo handle.
Of course I had one problem. Oso doesn't make sheaths for his blades. So I had a beautiful dagger, very sharp, very pointed, and no way to safely transport it.
Solution? Wrap it in one of the diapers in little bit's travel bag. Worked like a charm. Certainly isn't the most hazardous material ever found in her diapers........
Overall, a quite nice day.
Sunday was quiet overall. Missed going to a friends house for circle, little bit decided to fall asleep just as I was about to leave, and I won't leave while she's asleep. (She fusses too much if I leave while asleep.)
Overall, a nice weekend.
