Janie loves coloring and today as she was doing this, she was saying “draw a picture”.  Each time she made a scribble that resembled a letter, she would call it out.

Breakfast Bacon!

IMG_3335

This morning, Janie had her morning milk with GG on her floor towel.  Once Daddy was up, we walked over to one of our favorite breakfast spots: eggs n things!!  There’s usually a big wait but somehow we got seated within 10 minutes.  Amazing.  IMG_3336

We sat upstairs and Janie did a good job keeping herself entertained.

It was also where I discovered that she could recognized some lowercase letters on her placemat.

I guess she really learned a great deal with Auntie Krissy the other day at the park.  She recognizes u, s, o, and t so far.  She also thinks the letter i looks like the number one.

Janie also has a keen love for bacon.  So much that she didn’t want to have any of mommy’s tasty waffle.

Train to Burlingame

IMG_2117

This afternoon, we rode Caltrain down to Burlingame for dinner with Auntie and Uncle.  On our way down, we were joined by lots of Giants fans leaving the game that had just finished.  Luckily, we got to the station in time to board the train but there weren’t any seats.  So we stayed in the bike car and sat on the floor.

Janie did a good job staying in one place and even got to stand up for a bit to look out the window.

When we arrived, uncle and auntie were waiting for us and Janie was happy to see them.

We didn’t bring a stroller this evening and Janie did a good job holding a grown-up’s hand outside.

She also liked having her hands in her pockets the whole time.

Before heading back to the train station, we stopped for coffee and Janie read books with Uncle Jason.

At the train station, Janie sat on the bench and waited patiently for the train to arrive.

We had about 5 more minutes to spare so we got a quick family photo.

On the ride home, she fell asleep sitting between Mommy and Daddy on the train.

Public House

One of our favorite places to go for a casual dinner is Public House.  It’s in the ballpark and they are so nice to Janie.

The nice guy brought us a highchair, a box of crayons, and lots of paper.

She enjoyed a yummy soup and half an apple.

After dinner, she looked through the books she brought in her backpack.  We had just enough free time to watch some March Madness games.

She also spied on the doggie outside in the patio.  His owner noticed and waved to her.

Janie waited with her book with a clear view of the street from her seat.
