Spoiled by Grandma

While Grandma was in town Janie was treated to the full Grandma Janet treatment. We went to the zoo and Jane got to ride the carousel (of course she chose the Zebra):  photo BDSC_0323_zps3fd5eddc.jpg  photo BDSC_0331_zps7466f405.jpg

 The carousel took a really long time to get started the second time and Jane started getting impatient. So impatient she switched animals to see if maybe the bear was more active than the horse. It wasn't.


















 But eventually the carousel DID go and Jane loved it once again. photo BDSC_0375_zpsab5a5d14.jpg   photo BDSC_0378_zps6fb3c898.jpg
Jane even got to pick out a new toy from the gift shop. She chose the giraffe (who never sleeps by the way. Most of Jane's animals go to take naps with her but before she will go to her room to sleep she makes sure that giraffe is not only in the living room but is standing with her toys because giraffe doesn't sleep, he "plays").

Jane also got some fruit snacks...

 and some new clothes. However, Jane is a skinny mini and while the shirt from this outfit fit great, the skirt was falling off of her. She was trying to run and accidentally got her skirt stuck in the door. She started yelling "stuck! stuck!" from the bathroom and when by the time I got to her the skirt had fallen completely off and was by her ankles. She managed to wiggle it out of the door but felt very betrayed that her skirt wouldn't stay on.

 I asked her if she wanted her skirt back on and she told me, "no. socks." I tried to convince her again of the skirt, but she insisted that she needed to wear socks instead. Makes sense.

 Jane loved the delicious bread Janet baked (which had sunflower seeds in it). She somehow ended up with two loose seeds on her face and they stayed the entire meal.

 and then she found a pen and who knows what her thought process was.

 Jane also apparently really likes salad. (how is that for disconnect? blogger is giving me grief so I'm not even going to fix it)

Anyhow, we had a wonderful time with Janet here and Jane screamed out a bloodcurdling "GRANDMA!" when she realized she wasn't getting back in the car at the airport. It was incredibly sad but she seemed consoled when I assured her that Grandma would be back in six weeks when baby sister came and that before she saw Grandma Janet again TWO other grandmas would visit her.

Hooray for Grandmas!
Speaking of which, YES Jane will see ALL of her grandmas soon. My mom recently moved to Indianapolis which is only 4-5 hours away and will hopefully be coming to see Jane in the next couple of weeks and Grandma Imy moves to Chicago TODAY. Lucky little Jane.

  1. Several things:
    1. I'm so glad that you updated your blog. It warms my heart.
    2. Your daughter, and her facial expressions, are SUPER adorable (as usual).
    3. I love Janie's little sandals in the carousel pictures.
    4. Her shocked look when her skirt fell off is priceless. I'm so glad that you caught it on camera.
    5. It makes me happy that she is sporting the same hair style and Grandma Sandy in the last couple of pictures.
    6. I am SO jealous that you guys have so many grandparents visiting you right now!!
    7. I love you to pieces and can't wait to see you again. I have to wait far too long between visits. No bueno.
