I made Simon a ham and cheese sandwich with strawberries and more Korean melon. When I asked him what he wanted for fruit, he requested the melon again. This little boy loves all melons: watermelon, honeydew, cantaloupe, and Korean melon.

Iris playing around with Simon’s empty boxes.

Silly girl still puckering her lips, complete with “smacking” sounds.

Simon was really into Disney Pixar Cars, now he really loves Disney Pixar Planes. I got him this activity book at Costco and he’s been really enjoying cutting things out, coloring, and just flipping through it.

Simon’s lunch today of Korean melon (those yellow ones), mini chicken tacos, carrots, and some cookies. We didn’t get to do the cookie decorating activity at Simon’s birthday party so I offered it to Simon’s class to do as an indoor activity. They did the decorating yesterday with the white and colored royal icing plus various toppings like sprinkles and candy eyeballs and candy mustaches. I think the kids had fun and of course, Simon was eager to eat them.

Iris’ new thing is sucking in her cheeks and puckering her lips. She looks silly.

Simon very concentrated on Daddy’s computer.

Simon went to school for half a day because he and Iris had their medical checkups today. He still had lunch at school of chicken nuggets, spiral pasta, green grapes, and strawberries.

I took this picture of the bath wall this morning. Simon drew this during his bath last night. He got these bath paints from Uncle William for Christmas. I think this is his version of a giraffe. I’m pretty impressed 🙂

So both kids had good checkups today. Iris had a fun time playing with the paper covering the examination table. Simon didn’t cry this time until after his first shot. He got two shots today and immediately starting crying after his first shot but still took the second one without too much fuss. He didn’t cry for very long though so I’m very proud of him. Last year he wouldn’t even let the doctor examine him nor let the nurse take his height and weight. He breezed through the measurements and even passed his vision and hearing test with flying colors.

After the appointments, we went to Japantown for a frozen yogurt treat.

Then waited for Daddy to get off work and meet us in Japantown for dinner at Ramen Underground. Iris really liked the noodles. I really liked the grilled mochi. We also had takoyaki. I think Simon was a little turned off by the “moving” bonito flakes.

Today, Ron and Simon went to Ron’s Wine Country Reefer events so I spent the day at home with Iris and also still prepping for the party.

Little girl Iris had a good day with me holding her all day and even taking an afternoon walk around the neighborhood in her new stroller. It was sprinkling a bit but she was nicely bundled up.

I think this onesie is funny with the nigiri saying to the soy sauce, “Soy you think I’m cute?”

Simon had a good day out with Daddy.
