Friday Adventures

Janie had another day with Daddy today.  She slept in until 9:30 and then she was up and ready to go out for the day. Her hair needed a little work so Daddy tried again.

Ta Da!!  Two clips and a rubberband did the trick!

They first went to the mall for lunch at Chipotle.  During lunch, she said “Dragons don’t like spicy salsa.  I’m a dragon and you’re a rabbit.  I don’t like spicy salsa.”  Haha.  She’s been reading her newest book “Dragons Love Tacos” lately and yesterday Daddy told her she was a dragon and he was a rabbit (Chinese zodiac signs).  Funny girl.

After lunch, they hopped on the train and rode all the way to the end to get to the zoo.  By the time she arrived, she was asleep in the stroller.

So, Daddy sat at the zoo playground to do some work while she slept.

Once she woke up, she got to see giraffes, lions, zebras, a hippo, and tigers.  What a fun day with Daddy!!

School Day

IMG_2667

Today started out like it usually does.  Janie helped push the buttons in the elevator on our way out.  She now helps our neighbors with the buttons they need too.

At drop off, she was super happy and GG said goodbye to Mommy.

Unfortunately, she fell off the slide today and came home with a little shiner.  Teacher said she didn’t cry and it hasn’t bothered her at all this evening.

Eaten

IMG_2200

This evening, Janie came running to me saying “Mama, I have a owie.”  She pulled up her sleeve and showed me two huge mosquito bites!  When I removed her long-sleeve shirt, we found another one above her elbow!  Poor baby got eaten by the same mosquito that bit Mama and Dada last night.  Unfortunately, Janie is just as allergic to these bites as Mama and developed these huge welts.  It was very hard to convince her not to scratch them tonight.

Party Girl

This evening, Mommy hosted the annual “holiday” party for her co-workers.  It was in the Clubhouse and Janie was such a good little hostess.  We brought down her table and chairs and she shared with her gal pals Vivian and Sophie.

These kids are getting so big now and had fun playing with each other this evening.

At one point, we almost had a dance party but there wasn’t much dancing happening here. Instead, they preferred running around chasing each other.

Janie got a little bit of chocolate cake and was in heaven.

Look at that face!IMG_2140

Unfortunately, the evening ended with a little mishap with the patio door.  After numerous warnings not to play with the door, she closed one of them on her poor little thumb.  She came running to me crying and showing me her bruised thumb.  Auntie Mai checked out her finger and said it didn’t look broken…just a little cut and bruised.  We tried putting ice on it but Janie wasn’t having any of it.

IMG_2143

Luckily, it’s not too bad and Janie settled down quickly.  She just sat there staring at her thumb the rest of the night. Whenever anyone came by to check on her, she didn’t say anything – instead, just showed them her thumb.

I guess you could say this was her first “party foul”.

mosquito bites

IMG_8707

Janie was the victim of a very hungry mosquito two nights ago.  She got 7 bites total.

IMG_8710

Her left hand was all swollen and red.  You can kind of see two little bumps where she got bit.

IMG_8711

Here are the three on her right leg.  Poor baby.

Saturday morning

IMG_7173

While Mommy was at work this morning, Janie got a papercut from one of her books.  Daddy describes it as one of the perils of being a bookworm.

IMG_7174

For breakfast, Daddy made Janie some eggs and they were delicious!

IMG_7227

Then Janie spent the morning with Mirian and went to the carousel before her mid-day nap.  By the time she woke up, Mommy was home again.

more soup and scratches

IMG_3823

Janie and Mommy went to dinner together tonight and of course we had to order Thom Kha for her.  She was so happy when it arrived at the table.

IMG_3822

Also, this photo shows all the booboos she’s acquired from her first full week back in SF.  She’s such a bruiser.  I don’t know where that scratch  by her nose came from but it’s in the same spot again!! The last one has barely healed!  She also got a weird bruise on her chin at the library today.  Mirian said she came up to her today pointing to her chin and said “Mimi, owie.”

ponytail

This evening, Janie was sporting a full-fledged ponytail in the back just like Mommy’s.  So cute.  She still needs a clip in the front but Mommy usually does too.
