We made it there, eventually, and it was lovely. Also, very muddy. Violet didn't sleep well last night, so she was a wild little thing today, and went running all around in the mud. We chased her all about the base of the tower, down the Champ-de-Mars and through the sycamore trees. Eventually, on our walk to the Louvre, she fell asleep in the front pack.
It really is quite challenging to tourist around with a toddler. We are finding it is best to plan one activity for the morning, and another for the afternoon, with substantial snack-meals and a nap sandwiched in between. To try to push through the day, squeezing in as many activities as possible is just a call for disaster, so we have to pick and choose what we're going to do very carefully.
In general, though, our little traveler is doing quite well. She calls this her "Paris Home" (opposed to "Seattle Home", and we tell her that "India Home" is coming soon). We are really very proud of her.
