Fans, we write to you having just tucked Joe in for the night. Joe still calls the Dada Bus, but now, upon embarking on it, Joe immediately disembarks to use the potty one last time. It is at this point that the Dada Bus is swapped for a choo-choo train. We are instructed to stand on "choo-choo squares" in the kitchen, and admonished not to move a muscle, while Our Hero scampers to the potty before returning to assume the caboose position. (Last night, Julie was informed that she was a hopper car.)
So imagine our surprise when, after nap, Our Hero balked at taking a ride on the choo-choo train! We had thought we'd finally take a ride on the Como-Harriet Streetcar Line, operated by the Minnesota Streetcar Museum, but Our Hero was having none of it. Absolutely. None. Of. It.
Which is how we ended up at the rose garden by Lake Harriet.* There are TWO fountains there so, you know, roses shmoses. The second fountain featured turtles--and an older, young girl (maybe six?) actually in the fountain picking up coins. Guess who wanted to take off his Crocs and get in the fountain, too? Guess who said no? (But only because Little Miss Braveheart would have drove in headfirst after him.)
*Very, very longtime readers may recall that we first took Joe to this rose garden back when he was less than a month old! http://joeekkers.blogspot.com/2008/07/rose-garden.html
Julie has always liked this spot.
