Thursday Night

IMG_6809

This evening,, we had dinner at Caputo.  It’s a neighborhood restaurant that seems like it’s right at the midpoint between home and Janie’s school.  So Peanut and Mama met up with Dada and Janie after school for a yummy meal.  Janie passed the time by playing with her napkin.

She pretended it was a bandage (like Peso in Octonauts) and wrapped up our hands.IMG_6813

For dinner, she had some of Dada’s rabbit sugo and some of Mama’s squid ink pasta.  She did such a good job at dinner that we also had a yummy butterscotch pudding for dessert.IMG_6817

Peanut slept through all of dinner but got up when dessert arrived.

Janie loved her noodles, bean sprouts, beef, and soup.

We also stopped at 99 Ranch Market next door and Peanut enjoyed all the sights and sounds of the store.

His hand and the blanket were also pretty tasty.

Next stop was Trader Joe’s before heading home.  Janie asked nicely for some stickers and the checker gave her a long strip of them!

avocado face

We tried avocado again and this time he loved it.  It was just mashed up avocado with nothing added to it.

He was much more enthusiastic about it than the first few times we tried it (a couple weeks ago).

Look at that avocado face!! Yummy!

morning

We had a pleasant morning together before heading to school.  Peanut played on the floor while Dada and Janie ate breakfast.  It’s nice to have the whole family start the day together.

sweet potato

Peanut tried sweet potato today for the first time and he liked it.  He seems to enjoy eating now and will lean in for the spoon and chomp on it.

He finished all of what was in the bowl – even that last bit on his chin.

more chomping

This morning, Peanut did more munching and sucking on Mama’s arm.  It was just there to keep him from tipping over and he came over and attacked.

It’s a good thing he doesn’t have teeth yet. He’s like a little puppy gnawing on some ribs. And then he pooped.

Special Visit

This morning, Dada made a special visit to Janie’s school.  He was signed up to read to the class today.  When he arrived, she was so happy and told everyone “this is my Dad!”

Mama made it over to the school just in time to watch.  Dada read “Dragons Love Tacos” and the class seemed to enjoy it.

He even got a big “WHOA!” at the end of the story.  Very cute.  Janie was so happy and proud to sit next to him (as the kids usually do when a parent comes to read).

After the book, all the kids sat down for lunch and Dada brought lunch from Chipotle for Janie.

They sat together and ate before Dada had to go back to work. What a special treat!
