As I mentioned in the previous post, we took Emma to Darmstadt's Heinerfest at the beginning of July. Since we were still in a heatwave, we ended up going to the fest a few hours later than planned when it was a few degrees cooler. We had a great time walking around with friends and getting some good fest food and drink and were on our way back to our car when we were approached by a German lady. Since Kurt was pushing the stroller at this point, she talked directly to him...well actually she didn't talk, she reprimanded. She didn't think that Emma was dressed appropriately in her sunsuit with a light blanket covering her legs and took it upon herself to take the blanket and cover Emma up to her chin. Keep in mind that it was at least 80 degrees out and she was in her car seat which keeps her VERY warm! As soon as the lady walked away, I wanted to rip the blanket off of Emma, unfortunately though, the wind had picked up and she did need the blanket. *sigh*
Several friends have told me that the Germans have no qualms about telling you what is best for your baby, so I knew it was only a matter of time before this happened, however, I was astounded that it occurred on a very warm day!

Oh guys! I had a chuckle at that one. Isn't it funny how they pester you about the things that you know you're doing right??? Sorry you had a run in - but it will make a good story. Hope you're all well!
