OK. Maybe Eleanor wasn’t that into the Modern Wing of the Art Institute, but I made it up to her by letting her splash around for half an hour in Millennium Park’s Crown Fountain. Now, for purely selfish reasons (I’m San Francisco bound and I’ll be missing her), I’m posting footage of Eleanor having a grand ole time.

You can practically see her little mind working- looking at her reflection & her amazement at having wet hands and feet! Love her dainty walk and how she holds her wet hands out in front of her- too cute.
Robin

She is so beautiful. What is it about toddlers and water that makes them just that happy? Great shoes.

sweet-baby-jesus! how CUTE!!!!!! i want her outfit ;)
I love how she looks at her shoes wondering if they are already wet and when she realizes they are, she steps in!

I love her outfit! Gold baby shoes?! Fantastic!
I’ve only been to Chicago once, but I loved Crown Fountain!

Could you add a link to the Halloween mask contest? I need reminding and I’m sure I’m not alone.
Darling video, too!

She’s so sweet! I too am ga-ga over her shoes. Her entire outfit is eye-catching, but what I love about it is that you still notice HER, and aren’t overwhelmed with all the crappe that tends to be all over a lot of children’s clothing. I too love to dress my kiddos cutely, but plainly, so that their own cuteness shines through.

Love the metallic kicks… your child, alright!
Your Mother
I love this.
Kim
It’s so sweet the way she kind of tests the water at all levels–hand wet, feet wet–and then just has fun.
Christine
So cute! Millenium Park is the best. You should take her for ice skating in the Winter once she get’s older.
Ps. Does that outfit come in adult size? (Shoes included).
Melissa de la Fuente
Oh dear…she is so incredibly adorable! And that outfit! I love it with her beautiful little gold shoes! And I love so much when they first start walking like that….it is the best.

Jules
You’re killing me, Balch.
Krysta
Oh my goodness, I want to pinch her little cheeks! She is just the cutest, and that little dress on her is so great.
Lisa
So many things I LOVE about this video! Her outfit is too cute. I am in love with the music you selected & not sure where to find it. Also love how she was so amazed with the water and kept trying to drink it. Too cute! I can’t wait for my little guy to get to that stage. So amazing!!!
Kathryn Humphreys
Too cute. My kids love that fountain too. Although I’ve never seen it that empty. We have to bring bathing suits now for every trip downtown.
Beatriz
your little lady is sooo cute. Love to watch kids when they’re discovering new stuff. And love your web too!
holly
she is too cute.
Janice
I must thank you once again for sharing Eleanor with us. Just being able to watch her there, almost seeing her mind racing as she experiences the water – how precious.
Danielle
I love how she is pulling a Marilyn Monroe when the wind is blowing up her dress. Too cute! AND, I am very jealous that you are going to SF. I just came back from there and wish I had never left!
Yvonne
I absolutely love her outfit! You dress her so adorable. And the fountain is of course as beautiful.
