Sunday Dinner

We went out to dinner last night along the Embarcadero which is like a flat boulevard with stunning views of the Bay. After dinner we went for a leisurely stroll to walk off our Thai food before getting back home on the train.

Chilly night

Downward Dog

Stella is turning 3 in a week and we just can't get enough of our little (55 pound) girl. Like many of us, she has a hard time waking up in the morning and gets out of bed with the same yoga stretch each day.

Swinging Duo and Solo

Recently Jack has wanted to try out the big-boy swing instead of the bucket-style that's for the younger kids. He still needs some balance to master going very fast or high, so in the meantime, it's a safe ride with Dad.

Auntie's Brunch

Jack has two Auntie's that he adores and we all went to brunch a couple of weeks ago as a sort of post-birthday event for Jack. We met Mindy's friends Christabel (Jack's self-proclaimed "Favorite Auntie C") and Linda (who we affectionately call LindaR because her last name starts with "R") at 2223 and they helped usher in Jack's second year with hugs and kisses over hot cinnamon rolls with extra frosting and corned beef hash.

Bunnies Go Nite Nite

One of the tricks we employ to get Jack to lay down and go to sleep is to lay down his bunnies in his crib to demonstrate that they are going to sleep too.

Tot Gym

Jack attends 3 classes a week at various neighborhood Rec Centers near us. Our Nanny was sick recently so Mindy took a half day off of work to watch Jack and took him to his Tot Gym class.

The first half of the class is free-form where kids can shoot hoops, slide, play with balls and hoola hoops, etc. The second half is more structured with organized physical activities starting with a warm up stretch, followed by some running around, and warm-down activities to the tune of Wheels on The Bus.

We just signed up for the Spring Session - stay tuned for video from the Spring classes like Tykes on Bikes.
