Tabitha came over to play this afternoon. We got the old marble game down for her to play with. She only tried to put a marble in her mouth one time.

We tried nopales (prickly pear cactus pads) with our dinner tonight. We had seen the chefs cook with them on Chopped a couple weeks ago and, then, I saw them in the grocery store today & decided to give it a try. They weren't bad, but I think I'll have to taste them a few more times, maybe prepared in different ways, before I can say that I really like them.

I used to buy the ten ride punch ticket instead of the monthly pass because I worked from home 1 day per week & it worked out to be cheaper that way. That has all changed now that I go downtown everyday. This is my Feb monthly pass. Side note: lucky Metra riders experienced a 30% fare increase starting Feb 1st. :'(

I got Cole a new pair of shoes. They came with 2 different color laces...he wanted one of each. As I was unlacing and relacing the one shoe that needed to be changed I was thinking...When they make shoes is there a machine that laces them or is that someones job to lace shoes all day?

Gabriele continues to work on feeding himself with a fork. He tries SO hard!
