BGW

C-bao's official class mascot is the Big Gray Whale, or BGW for short. Over the course of the school year, BGW has been carried home by each kid, and her adventures have been duly documented in a class journal.

Two weekends ago it was finally C-bao's turn to spend a few days with BGW. She made the most of the opportunity and really showed her around town.

First stop was a musical drama Peter and the Wolf, starring sister K-bao, described in more detail here.


BGW  got to enjoy brunch at one of C-bao's new favorite haunts, People's Cafe in the Haight.


The first evening, C-bao even took the lucky marine mammal dancing (admittedly at a very low-tech, dress-down club). Uncle Calvin looks on with amusement.


BGW had plenty of company her first night at Chez C-bao - perhaps a little too much for her comfort. Though among her new friends was a patchwork whale, which sister K-bao had procured at an amusement park some months back.


The following day, C-bao took BGW biking down at Stanford University in Palo Alto.


The weather was warm, and C-bao & Co. stopped by a fountain to cool off.


 The girls dipped their toes (and fins) in the water. "Let loose!" C-Mum declared.


Later that afternoon, BGW witnessed C-bao engage in a little free-form painting.


Pretty sweet life for a stuffy, thought C-Pop over the course of the weekend - pampered, showered with attention, exposed to a never-ending set of adventures and other stimulating experiences...Almost as sweet as the life of one little tyke we know.
