Leah likes trains a lot these days and kept asking and asking us to go on a cable car...(or Table Car as she says). Once a few months ago we rode a bus that looked like a train and she was so excited that we told her that maybe soon we could go on a Cable Car. (When we were waiting for that bus, a regular looking bus came up and she waved at it fast saying No No No Bye!) So after that we knew she'd love to go back for a Cable car ride. "Go in there? In the train? Table Car? Maybe tomorrow. next Time"....We didn't want her to have to keep saying next time so we took her this weekend. She was SO excited. We sat on the benches while Julian stood on the side. Bri was her happy self as well.
We ate at Hard Rock Cafe and I got sick from their awful salmon. My stomach is still nauseated from it today....so the cable car ride back from dinner was not enjoyable for me, but Little Leah still loved it. She didn't want to get off of the Cable Car and asked for one more minute.
Today we went to Palo Alto and I picked up a train set for her at Ikea. Julian has been wanting to build a train with her for quite some time now but it didn't quite go as planned. Instead of pushing the trains along the looped tracks, she tried instead to pick up the loop and use it as a hoola hoop. He would rebuild it and then she'd try again asking for a hoola hoop. Then, dressed up in her dress from her Auntie Erica from Thailand, holding a new doll, she stood amongst the broken train tracks and smiled and said , "Oooh, I love my dollie!" Poor Julian. He says Bri will play the train tracks with him when she's older...
We started really sleep training Bri and we've had a good go of things. Bri has been only waking up once or twice at most a night now (once a night for 2 of the days but 2 times last night). I hope it stays like this!
Leah's recent favorite thing to tell people is "Daddy has nipples!" Thank you, Leah, for sharing!!!
