We went to a wedding yesterday, all and all it wasn't that bad. The ceremony was outdoors, which was a good thing because Alex cried through most of it and started just as the bride came walking out. The cries started because she had to poop and continued because she was hungry and tired.
The problem was that it started at 4 p.m. just in time for her poop, feeding and nap. I walked her around the lawn (far enough away from the event), I changed her, fed her and tried to put her to sleep but people were so intrigued by her. This one man in particular kept coming up to us just as she would fall asleep and rub her head! "I just can't help it," he'd say.
Needless to say Alex didn't sleep the entire time, about five hours of awake time. Last night and today she slept a bit longer and deeper than usual. As nice as it would be to plan ahead and make sure she is fed and had her nap before heading out, it never seems to work out that way.

It's hard to decide to just go with the flow or tell people to back off and let the baby sleep or try to- Everyone is drawn to little ones and you can't really blame them but 5 hrs is a long time for such a little one to be awake:(
