This morning we had our usual swimming lessons. Isaac didn't really want to follow along with the class activities so we just played with buckets and pool toys. After class, we spotted a brown rabbit outside in a fenced area by the parking lot.
We got home, took a bath, then went out for dim sum at Gingeri Chinese Restaurant. We made a reservation before we left the house. When we got there, we got put onto a short list and waited several minutes to be seated. We ordered a beef noodle roll, chicken feet, sui mai, seafood soup dumpling, chicken with black bean and tofu, chicken sticky rice wrapped in leaves and shrimp spring rolls. As we waited for our order, a waitress walked by with a plates of 4 mini egg tarts, so we added that to our order.
The boy started off eating 2 egg tarts while we waited for our food. The tarts were fresh out of the oven, the shell was fluffy and the boy devoured them. He wanted the rest of the egg tarts, but we told him he had to wait so that he could eat some other food. The beef noodle roll came first. It was tasty and cooked just right. The boy ate 1.5 rolls. Daddy had .5 and I got the last one. Next the spring rolls came. They were too hot for the boy so we set .5 aside for him. He watched us as we ate the spring rolls. The spring rolls were just ok - I was a little disappointed that there wasn't a lot of shrimp in it. When it cooled enough, the boy enjoyed his spring roll. The chicken feet came after. Isaac had some of the cartilage and skin from the chicken feet. The flavour was ok - average tasting. Next we had sui mai - it was also average, but Isaac liked it. The chicken and tofu dish was pretty good. We gave Isaac some of that to try and he ate it. The last to arrive was the seafood soup dumpling. It was really small, but tasty. We split it between the three of us. Daddy had a sticky rice and we brought the remaining two home along with an egg tart.
When we finished lunch, I lined up at Toys R Us to participate in the Lego - Build a rabbit event. Isaac played in the play house, then went into Toys R Us with Daddy to play. I was still in line when they came out of the store. Isaac sat in the stroller and waited in line with me as Daddy went to pick up some fruits, vegetables and buns. After an hour wait in line, I started putting together the rabbit. Isaac was getting tired and one of the staff was offering people in line bagged pieces so that they could take them home to make... so I asked for that and returned my partially constructed rabbit. (The only negative about the bag is that the person who packed it missed 2 pieces... so I had to modify the construction directions to make the rabbit.)
When we got to the car, Isaac was sound asleep as Daddy transferred him into his car seat (1:30pm). I transferred him into his crib. His nap was close to 3 hours. By the time we got up, it was basically dinner time. I gave Isaac a pineapple bun, 2 sticky rice. It was still bright outside, so we walked to Value Village and came back home. Isaac had a couple of mandarins as he watched an episode of Curious George, then it was bedtime.
