It might seem that I won this particular staring contest. But in reality she was just concentrating SO HARD on not blinking that she didn't notice that I had already blinked about 84 times. One of these days she'll wise up to my trickery. And when she does, I have a feeling that I'm going down.

Don't ever challenge La to a staring contest.
... Because you will lose. The kid can keep her eyes open for an infinite amount of time. Here's a video of one of her shorter stints. Keep in mind that this footage doesn't do her staring knack any justice. The kid can stare forever. Finally all those years of gawking at innocent restaurant-goers, passers-by, and random truck drivers on the interstate are paying off.

French Market
On Saturday we took a trip down to the Loop to visit Chicago's new French Market. The market is divided into segments with different vendors selling everything from artisan cheese to eggplant to lamb chops to macarons. It's basically an indoor, year-round farmer's market. There's also a French Fry stand that serves mayonnaise for dipping, and that alone is reason enough to justify the $14 parking fee. Those fries are the stuff of dreams, I tell you. Amen.
While we were there, La decided that it would be cool to wear her coat backwards. And when La makes decisions, she sticks to them.
If you haven't been to the French Market yet, I highly suggest making a visit.
