Pout Pout Fish

July 25, 2014 No Comments

I thought this would fade after a while but Janie still has a hard time with Mommy leaving for work in the morning. This morning as I was washing dishes, she said, “Mama, no Mimi.” I told her, “No, Mama has to go to work.” She didn’t respond and just walked away. Later in this morning, she was set-up at the table coloring as I was packing up to leave. As soon she heard the sound of my keys, she began to pout. Then she had a full-on wail. This is what she looked like as I left.

Daddy said this went on for another 10 minutes before she asked to go to bed. She took a little pout pout nap, then had a book read to her, and was ready for her milk.

Once that was all done, she was back to normal. She even did a little dancing for Daddy. They had a good time until Mirian arrived a 10 after her doctor’s appointment. And then the crying and pouting started all over again. *sigh*

First Opera

July 5, 2014 No Comments

Janie attended her first opera. AT&T Park hosted a live simulcast of La Traviata this evening and it was free!

We had a picnic on the field before it started and also watched a Bugs Bunny cartoon on the giant screen.

At one point in the evening, she didn’t want to share her book with Uncle Jason. Here she is being a Pout Pout Fish.

Janie was actually very well-behaved during Act I and did a good job keeping her hood on. It got pretty cold after the sun went down.

We left during the intermission after Act I because it was getting too cold out there.

Janie had a good time anyway and got home in time for a tea party and story with Auntie Jia before going to bed.

before the drive back

On our way back to SF, we had to stop at Yai and Ta’s house to drop off the stroller we borrowed for the weekend. Alice was there for the day and they hung out for a brief moment together.

Again, this could have been a really nice photo but Janie REALLY didn’t want to take a photo this morning. Too bad…

Day with Mommy

April 30, 2014 No Comments

Mommy had an extra day off today and Janie’s first activity of the day was to go back to the doctor for her immunizations.

She got to play in the waiting room a bit.

She cried out just a little bit when she got her shot but it didn’t last long.

It also helped that she got a cool bandaid “sticker” on her leg after.

After the doctor’s office, we stopped for lunch and grocery shopping. Janie loved eating her chicken from a cup.

It was a hot day outside so Janie got her first bubble bath. She was scared of them at first because she couldn’t see the water anymore but got over it pretty quickly when she realized she could scoop it like sand.

“No Ocean”

April 24, 2014 No Comments

At the infinity pool, she waved to the ocean and said “Hi Mr. Ocean!” with a smile. So we took Janie back to the beach again this morning and she was not having it. She clung so tightly and actually cried a bit. She kept saying “No Ocean! All done!!”
I guess we’re playing at the pool today.

Keys!

Janie turned into a potato in the hallway today. It was because she was taking too long to get to the door so I took the keys from her.

Huntington Beach

March 29, 2014 No Comments

Janie and Alice went to the beach this morning and Janie started crying from the moment we opened the car door. Oh well, so much for forward progress.

She clung tightly to me for the first 20 minutes while she cried and pointed away from the ocean. When I put her down, she ran as fast as she could back to me.
