Riding Along in my Barbie Jeep

Riding along in my new barbie car...I'm gonna go really far!!! Abrianna was lucky to inherit this barbie jeep from our neighbors across the street whose girls have outgrown it. Although I am not too sure about a couple of 2 year olds driving it (well, actually Dante's foot can't quite reach the pedal yet!)...actually it's not the driving part...it's the navigating that worries me...there have been a few crashes...of course nothing serious...we have enough plastic out in the backyard to cushion any crashes!

Taking Dante for a ride.


We're gonna have a snack now.







Ok seriously...big brother scares me driving this thing! Leave him to his quad and I'll drive this one!

Abrianna at her Princess Dance Class

Abrianna is in a Princess Dance Class through the city at Extreme Dance studio. She's only had 2 classes but she loves to get dressed and go to dance. She gets so excited and askes me all the way to the studio to go dance...sometimes the drive across town feels like it's across country!


She gets a kick out of seeing herself in the mirror.


Look at my princess wings, wand and crown!


They do half the class in ballet shoes and half in tap...the tapping is really funny to HEAR with a class of 2-3 yr olds! Doesn't she look intense listening to her teacher?!


I'm having so much fun!











Our Trip to the SF Aquarium by the Bay

Fun at the SF Aquarium by the Bay

We took a trip to the SF Aquarium by the Bay today to satisfy Massimo's constant wish to "see the ocean and fishies". At the end of the day we asked Massimo if he had fun (yes, of course he says) and his most favorite thing was the...scuba diver! Yes, that's all he talked about when we asked him what he saw. Of course when we jogged his memory and talked about the fish and what we did he enjoyed "finding Nemo" (one of his favorite movies - and where the fascination of scuba divers all started...don't be surprised if that's what he ends up being for Halloween!) and touching the Stingray and sharks...and outside of the aquarium he got to see trains (Bart), trolleys, buses, and of course the ocean! It was all very exciting for him to be in a big city like that with so much variety around him...so many things to see. The twins loved it, too. Abrianna got to interact a lot more since she is walking and more able, it was a little hard to let Dante crawl so he got to snack and check it all out from stroller view. He did get out at the end in the toddler area and got to touch the sea urchins and he loved that so much! He got really excited watching all the fish swim by. It was a fun day (and tiring chasing after at least 2 and sometimes 3).
