Next Generation of Customers

As the owner of this cafe, I have grown close to many dear customers. The conversations here are colorful and varied, but there still remains that taboo question that you don't dare ask - and you hope that will just come up in conversation. . . "Are you preggers?" Much to my delight, I learned along the way that all of those who I suspected were preggers, indeed were. And because of that, I have many new little customers too. Five of my regulars have had babies since being customers here at Park Place. I have enjoyed getting to know these parents prior to having babies, and now see them doting over their little ones. I can tell they are all going to be great parents, and it is fun to watch the different lifestyles these babies will grow up in.
We have Disc Golf Caleb, whose proud parents, Sarah and Zach, had him out on the course within one week of being born; Sullivan, whose mom also holds a special place, cuz she asked for a chai from my cafe right after giving birth. I almost feel like I got to be part of the experience in some odd way! Sully has a great mom and dad and lots of dogs to keep him company. Study baby, who comes in with Dad as he tries to use the internet and computer but inevitably the baby gets more attention then the homework; Baby number four - born into a larger family with lots of older siblings to carry her around and dote over her; Nurse's baby, her mom craved crepes with cottage cheese, cheddar and chicken through the pregnancy and still does. She transcribes her patient information over the phone while eating her crepe and holding her daughter.
This weekend the tradition continued as another disc golf couple brought their new baby in, less than a week old, to introduce him. Out of six babies, I am happy to see that we will have at least two of them that will carry on the disc golf tradition in the park next door. And, I hope they all crave the drinks and crepes that mom fed them inadvertently before their birth so I can watch them grow up!
