Hooray!

Liliana is on the mend! Pink eye is decreasing and she has a playdate planned for tomorrow morning at Studio Grow with her little buddies, Miles and Marco. I'm so happy she is feeling better, finally!! It's so hard when she is feeling under the weather, I feel so helpless when she is sick. I try to make her as comfortable as possible, but I feel so helpless when I hear her cries. I'm always so relieved when she starts to feel better.

Thank goodness for sunshine and playdates, I feel as if we have been cooped up inside the outside for far to long. Studio Grow will be lots of fun.

I can also show off my new haircut. I had 4-5 inches cut off my hair this week. It was kind of shock but my head feels so light and more comfortable now.

Pink Eye Sucks!!

Yes, it does...Liliana has pink eye (conjuctivitis) in both of her eyes, and we have been 'attempting'Italic to put drops in her eyes for the last two and half days without much change. It sucks! Poor thing, yellow dried crusties are formed on the outside of her eyes and she definitely is not in a good mood, coupled with a cold (runny nose and a cough). This is not a recipe for fun! I want her go to her school tomorrow, but she may be cooped up inside our house for yet another day (it has been raining for the last 12 days straight). Boo for pink eye! Fingers cross she can go to school, and that the sun will shine tomorrow.

After Christmas Birthday Party Pictures






















On the weekend we hosted Liliana's After Christmas Birthday Party, since her birthday is December 25 we decided to have her toddler friends party celebration almost a month after her birthday. We rented the 'Birthday Loft' room at the Children's Discovery Bay Museum in Saulisito, CA. We had a fun time with cake and drinks, and then the tots had the run of the museum with outdoor play structure, train tables, art workshops, and tots structures that were nature based (it truly is a fun place full of tot adventures waiting to happen). Liliana really enjoyed her party, so much excitement that she missed her afternoon nap, but she expressed how happy she was especially when she opened her gifts and found a new baby doll with a car seat! Since Saturday she has not let go of the baby and has sang Happy Birthday to herself many-many times. It was her first real party with her friends! It was so sweet to see all the little kiddos sitting at the table enjoying cake and watching all the adults gather with their little ones seeing proud looks on all their faces! What fun!!

Mendo Madness!







Well, we are back from our little getaway vacation to Mendocino. It was a beautiful trip with spectular views and relaxing vibes. The ocean was breathtaking, the forest lovely, and our little bug had a fun filled time of hiking, playing on the beach, and eating delicious gourmet food. We stayed in a old water tower that was renovated into a quaint little lodging cottage. It was cute, and we had a refreshing time getting away from the busy bay area.
