Baby Flash goes to Comic Con

With Michelle out of town for a quilt retreat, Jonah had the opportunity to spend a day with me at the Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo (C2E2) today. Our friend Ryan joined us for a day at the show. In honor of the event, I picked up a special Flash onesie for Jonah to wear for the day. Putting aside his mild mannered secret identity, he became Baby Flash!

I expected the overall day to be a bit more of an adventure. Happily, Jonah is so good natured that he made it a breeze. I kept him well fed, changed, and entertained, and he made everyone who saw him smile with his big toothless grin.

He got to meet one of my favorite actresses, Eliza Dushku, and she was just great with him. Jonah, of course, was more interested in her shiny jewelry.

She was just great with him. She even took a little time to play with him a bit at the table and was ok (at least she didn't say anything, so I hope she was ok in retrospect) with him playing with her ring and watch. Unfortunately, the picture policy for the show made it tough for Ryan to get a good shot. It was a really nice experience, though.

Later, Baby Flash met The Flash

After meeting Eliza Dushku and The Flash, Jonah was entertained by a performance artist who also seemed to be having a good time with the faces Jonah made back at her.

Then Jonah had the distinct opportunity to play "peek-a-boo" with Mark Sheppard, an excellent actor from many shows I enjoy. He is a great guy, even if he did berate me a bit for not seeing him in the X-Files.

Peek-a-boo!

Tee-hee!

After so much excitement, it was time to get some lunch.

Lunch led to nap time.

Which led to Happy Jonah.

We couldn't stop anywhere without the little guy catching someone's eye

Though, when meeting 9 foot tall Wookiees, he did get a bit flustered...

The day went extremely well. I was a little nervous being so far from the safety of home, with its backup food and supplies, but we were well prepared and everything went smoothly. Jonah got to spend a really good mix of time in and out of the stroller. There were even some opportunities for him to crawl for a bit. I think he had a good day.
