One of Janie’s favorite things to do is to go outside to “buy some fruta (fruit)”. Today, we bought some plums, meyer lemons, romanesco, and pears. She also wanted these carrots but we have plenty at home right now.
We have gone so many times that she knows the routine and knows where things are now. At one particular area, she asks for capers and onions because it’s where I usually get my favorite open-faced smoked salmon sandwich.

There’s also an area where musicians like to play. She was very excited to get out of the stroller to watch the cellist play. She also did a little dancing for everyone to watch as well.
When we got to this area, she said, “I go to the park now. I want swings and the big slide.” Then she ran off in the right direction. Luckily, I was able to slow her down because we still had to wait for Dada to get his coffee.
We finally took her to the park where she got a barrel full of laughs on the swing and went down the big slide all on her own.
She also gave this climbing dome a try today but didn’t get very far.
On our way home, we passed the clock tower as it struck 12:00. Before falling asleep, she said “that’s the clock to buy some fruta”. Funny girl. I guess we do come here a lot.
