Fearless Friday

A little late this week, but better late than never! What did you do for Fearless Friday? We took Charlie (our 2 month old son) out to a packed restaurant on a Friday night! And you know what? He slept through the WHOLE THING! What a dream baby. Just goes to show you - don't knock it till you try it!!!

PS: Frivolous pic of Don and Roger. Because I am SO excited about the premiere this Sunday. Does anyone else keep up with US TV series? Do you use BlackVPN, or watch illegally? I know, I know, I told you to watch local TV. But still!

What are your plans for Fearless Friday?

Today I am going to attend an open house for a daycare - I am intimidated by the idea of meeting other parents and introducing ourselves to the teachers in German, but i'm going to do it anyway.  We are having a heck of a time finding a daycare center for our son - but we won't be needing one for at least another 9 months, so I am trying to stay calm about it.

What are you going to tackle? If you are out of ideas, check out our mini missions for some inspiration.

Inspired by a number of other blogs, we will be hosting a Fearless Friday over here at the Wayfarer's Handbook. This means that on Friday, we will all get out there and do something we've been afraid to do - perhaps one of the particularly daunting mini missions - or even just running an intimidating errand. Share what you did in the comments or on twitter with the #fearlessfriday hashtag.

As for me? Today, we took our seven week old baby on his first train. I was nervous to do this - I didn't know what to pack, how to handle it if he started to scream, if there would be a spot for our stroller, if it would be too crowded... but I bit the bullet and did it and, as is so often the case - it wasn't nearly as scary as I'd imagined.

And the greatest part about doing something that scares you? When it's a success (which it most often is) you can finally add it to the list of things you can get out and do.

Did you tackle something fearless today?
