Sibling Love

Farmers Market Sunday by Bike

We went to the Farmers Market yesterday by bicycle. Gigi goes often this way with her Dad alone, but we all went together. Jordan didn't really like his helmet, but once we started moving he didn't move and seemed generally happy. He had a hard time keeping his eyes open because of the movement of the bike.

Gigi went to storytime. A new store called Books and Cookies had a booth with PRINCESSES and facepainting. Jordan eventually took a nap while we had brunch. Gigi had some of my scrambled eggs and CHIVES (shocking) and lox (not so shocking). A lovely day for sure.

Cinderella Saturday

Today, Mama and I went to see Cinderella in Glendale at a theatre in the round. We went with Mama's colleague and her daughter. I was one of the few audience members dressed up as Cinderella.

Here I am posing with the mouse and Cinderella and the prince. Jordan and Daddy met us afterward for lunch at Porto's.

Gigi Says the Darndest Things (by Mama)

While in Florida, we went to Whole Foods one day (or a few of the days while there). Gigi wanted to buy a yoyo and a Melissa and Doug craft kit. I was okay with the craft kit, but a yoyo? A little young, I thought. Well, Gigi had to go to the bathroom so we safely put her two items aside along with something I was going to get. When we came back, Gigi insisted on getting them and I said, well, I am not sure we are buying the yoyo. Gigi said, "mama, how would you feel if I took something away from you"? At first, I was defensive and said, "Well, the yoyo isn't really yours. We haven't bought it yet." And, then I asked "How do you think I would feel?" And Gigi said, "I think you would be sad".

Wow, I was impressed. My little sweetie is already able to be persuasive in her reasoning. And, yes, we are the proud owners of a yoyo from Whole Foods.

More Florida ...

Saying goodbye to Mema on our last day. Yum....eating my first hamentashen while Jordan looked on wishing he could have some!

One of my favorite things to do at home is to take all the pillows and put various objects on them covered by blankets. I usually use Jordan's baby blankets and at home, I put plastic animals, piece of train track, baby dolls and other items down for a nap. At Mema and Pepa's, I did the same thing, but I improvised with towels for the blankets and I put to sleep Pepa's remote controls, magazines, shoe horns and more.

Jordan Really Wants to Crawl

Soon, he will be chasing me!

Look what Mama found?

Getting ready for our company to come last night, Mama found this out of place object on the book shelf. Can you identify it? One of my fish from Friday night!

Beach Surprise

After horseback riding, I fell asleep in the car. It was a gorgeous day, so Mommy and Daddy decided to get a picnic lunch and find a picnic table to enjoy some yummy food and some wine. By the time they found that coveted picnic table, I was awake. Mommy then noticed that my friend Lyla was over on the grass with her Mommy. Jordan and I both climbed a tree....

....and Lyla and I built a sandcastle and a ghost. What a fun afternoon! Snow on Tuesday and beach on Saturday. Great week.
