I was packing up for our Saturday outing to the Farmer’s Market and Janie refused to climb into the stroller. Instead, she ran over to the door and pointed to the tricycle. So, I had to rethink my packing strategy and off we went!
The Farmer’s Market was like a brand-new place for her today with this new 360-view of her surroundings.
After doing some shopping, we went across the street for a little playtime. Unfortunately, everyone had the same idea and it was swarming with children and their adults.
Luckily, we found some space of our own and Janie got to go down the slide a couple times. She also went down on her butt all on her own today!
The swings were popular so we had to find just the right time to get her a turn.
Of course, she LOVED it and she was good enough to get out after I gave her a warning and counted to 10. I feared that I’d have to carry away a kicking-and-screaming kid but I didn’t! I was so proud.
As a reward, we went out to the big grassy field.
She got to run around to her heart’s content.
Back on Embarcadero, we went to the Starbucks to meet up with Daddy. While we waited, Janie pushed the tricycle around. What a gorgeous day!
It was such a sunny day that Janie borrowed Daddy’s sunglasses for a bit.
At lunch, Janie ate up almost all of Mommy’s capers. She seems to love pickled things as much as Mommy.
We also found out that this kid loves to crunch on ice cubes. This warm weather was the perfect day for this activity. I guess she can hang out at the Magical House and crunch ice cubes with Yai now.
When we got home, Janie was clearly tired and overdue for a nap but she resisted.
Lucky for us, there’s a Blue Clue’s episode about nap time and it worked like a charm.
Apparently, Elephant has also turned into a new pacifier for her too.
Sweet dreams, Little Janie!
