This evening, Janie had an early-pick-up day because of the teachers’ monthly meeting. Dada took her to Burger Bar at Macy’s for an afternoon treat and view of Union Square. Lucky girl!

Meanwhile, Mama had to drive home in traffic, pack up Peanut, ride a crowded Muni train, and meet them downtown.

water cup

Peanut has been showing interest in drinking from an open cup lately (mostly in the bathtub) so it was time to bring out the training cup.

Janie asked for hot pot again for dinner and Dada delivered. She loves the beef balls and picking out what she wants from the pot with her tongs.

We watched the ice skaters from the Macy’s window for a bit while Janie enjoyed her smoothie.

We went on a hunt for a jacket for her today but ended up just ordering one online from Uniqlo. It was MUCH cheaper than this cool North Face one we found at Macy’s.

We visited the aquarium today and Peanut had a fun time walking around like her owned the place.

His new favorite thing is backing up to things to sit down. I still remember when Janie was in that stage.

Little Diners

Mama was having a rough week so we went out for dinner tonight. These two did a great job keeping themselves busy while Mama decompressed. It also helped that we were in a sports bar with a tv on every wall.
