What do you think of Simon’s preppy look?

Chopsticks
Day 327 = January 23, 2011
Mommy and Daddy, I want to use chopsticks like you!
We had lunch together at King of Thai Noodle House in Union Square. I had the roast duck noodle soup.
Ron had a rice dish with minced chicken.
We shared an appetizer of fish cake wrapped in tofu skin and deep fried.
After lunch, we did some shopping together before Ron went back to a coffee shop and Simon and I headed home. Simon and I made a stop for a snack and cup of coffee. We sat outside to watch the cable cars rumble by.
When we arrived home, Simon was exhausted after our excursion and went right for a nap but woke up to have dinner with us. Silly boy showed us how lazy he was feeling.
Since his nap was late, he went to be a little later than normal but you could tell he was exhausted by his droopy eyes.
Love for the Camera
Day 326 = January 22, 2011
Look, I can hold my own sippy cup with both hands.
Mommy, I’m stuck and don’t know what to do! Simon was standing next to his dresser and crawled into the space between it and his bed and for some reason, couldn’t figure his way out even though the space is quite large and he has room to move. Maybe it was just a new situation and he didn’t know what to make of it.
Simon is fascinated by our digital camera. So fascinated that he was grabbing it with both hands and didn’t realize he was just standing there. This was taken with my phone since he had the camera.
Here’s a video from my camera too. I wonder what is so fascinating about our electronic devices: phones, cameras, remote controls, TV, etc.
Although still a bit sick, we went out to dinner at this place in Oakland called Marica Restaurant. Simon was quite fussy the entire meal because the restaurant was quite loud and had dim lighting. When we went outside after dinner, he quieted down right away.
I had the prix fixe menu for $21 ($25 if after 6pm) which includes an appetizer, entree, and dessert. For appetizer I chose the chopped salad. Seasoned well and I loved the avocado.
Ron ordered the soup of the day: asparagus and crab.
I tried their ginger limeade cocktail. The ginger was kind of light but the drink overall was good and had a nice tanginess to it.
They gave us complimentary mussels. Yummy fragrant broth.
Ron ordered he seafood stew which had great aroma.
The entree for the prix fixe today was the grilled escolar with lemongrass beurre blanc, mashed potatoes, and asparagus. I had a nice sized portion of fish and it was delicious.
For dessert I had the chocolate souffle (usually +$5 to the prix fixe but was complimentary as well). So delicious, nice and warm with cool vanilla ice cream on top.
It was a delicious meal and nice experience. The Rockridge area of Oakland has really changed since we went to school at Berkeley. There are lots of restaurants and cool looking boutiques around. I hope we can go back for another visit soon and try another new restaurant.
Future Quarterback
Day 325 = January 21, 2011
My future quaterback. The little football is made from foam and unfortunately Simon’s little teeth are now sharp enough to puncture through things so when we first gave it to him, we thought it was cute that he was gnawing on it… until I noticed that he left bite marks and tore off a few pieces. Unfortunately not child safe so only good for photo taking!
Ewww, boogers!!
Actually it’s a piece of freeze dried apple and what an ugly face Simon is making. His little nose is all red from it leaking and him rubbing it all day long. The daycare is a bit worried about him since his nose has been really runny and he didn’t eat much today but he waxes and wanes. Yesterday he apparently drank all the milk we provided and ate their lunch. Just today he didn’t want to eat and overall didn’t drink much milk but did get a lot of rest, he napped for a total of 3 hours in 2 naps. Poor little guy doesn’t seem bothered by his cold at all except for the irritated nose. He hates us to wipe his nose, no matter how soft the tissue.
What do I want to wear today?
Day 324 = January 20, 2011
So Mr. Smarty Pants has discovered how to open his dresser drawers. He proceeds to take out all his pants from the drawer and dump them on the floor. Maybe he’s telling me wants to change clothes?
What momma? What did I do?
Simon still has a runny nose and cough and mommy still has a sore throat. He’s been sleeping poorly because of waking up to cough at night and also crying out at 5am for his pacifier to go back to sleep. Poor little guy is at least cozy in this PJs from Grandma Tam. It’s so funny that his little foot is pushing against the side of his bed.
