After Juliana and Olivia’s dentist appointments on Wednesday morning, I took Olivia to day care and then informed Juliana that she and I were going on her August girls’ date!

Little Juliana has been requesting to eat “bisquetti” (spaghetti) for quite awhile now, so I took her downtown to a little Italian restaurant for our date.   I parked a couple of blocks from the restaurant so that we could enjoy a walk downtown; Juliana held my hand the whole way to the restaurant, stopping every few feet to peer into windows of offices and stores downtown.

When we made it to the restaurant and Juliana saw the linen tablecloths and vases of flowers on the table, she was ecstatic!  This baby girl loves all things fancy!

Over our lunch of “bisquetti,” Juliana and I discussed matters of great importance such as the boy she doesn’t like in her day care class, what Snuggles y Cuddles were doing at home while we were on our “date” and, of course, how much we love playing with baby dolls.

After we finished lunch, we walked to my cousin Marisa’s office so we could say hello during our downtown stroll.  We were glad she works so close to the restaurant we ate at!

We took our time heading back to the car, stopping for a couple of pictures and inspections of fallen leaves, too.

During our “date,” JuJu mentioned that we were on our date at least ten times.  “This is not a date with all the girls,” she would say. “This is a JuJu and Amy Beff date!”  And she was absolutely right; it was a JuJu and Amy Beff date, bisquetti and all!
