Update for the week.

It's just been busy.

Sunday: We wanted to go to the Aquarium except we couldn't get downtown easily due to road closures for the Sun Run.  So we detoured and went to Kitslano beach instead.  It was a bit windy that day.  The boy scootered around for a little, then he explored the sand, rocks, shells and water.  Shoes, socks and hands wet.  Wind + wet = cold.  His little hands were red.  We washed his hands and had a snack at the cafe: fish and chips.  Isaac ate some fries but didn't like the fish (cod).

We had a play date with a new friend on Wednesday morning.  N and Auntie C came over to our house.  They stayed for an hour, we played with toy screwdrivers, had a snack and watched an episode of Word World.  We will be going to their house to play next Wednesday.

Isaac seemed to have a rough night.  We had a hard time putting him to bed.  He woke up at 11pm and didn't want to go back to sleep.  He seemed to be very upset about something, but we couldn't figure out what was bothering him.

On Thursday morning,  we had our second art class.  Since Isaac didn't sleep very well the night before, he was tired at class.  He did some of the projects, but lost interest part way through the class.

This morning, we went to the Aquarium and a playground in Stanley Park.  After we went to Hokkaido Ramen Santouka for some ramen.  There was a short line up at the door.  We got seated in a small table for two.  I was able to squeeze in with Isaac on the bench.  We ordered immediately.  I got a Toroniku shio ramen and Daddy had some sort of miso ramen.  As we waited for our food, the boy got restless.  I let him snack on some cookies.  He wanted to play with chopsticks and salt & pepper shakers.  I decided to take the boy out for a walk.  I bought Isaac a salmon sashimi from Sushi Mart and fed that to him in the car.  Isaac gobbled that up.  As we were finishing the last piece, Daddy called to say that he finished his ramen.

We went back to the restaurant.  Daddy fed Isaac some miso soup and noodles as I had lunch.  The pork jowl was really fatty (a bit too fatty for my preferences) but very tasty!  I liked the shio ramen.  It had a nice flavour.  Daddy likes Kintaro more because it's cheaper, but this place is good none-the-less.  When we left, there was a line up out the door.  When we got home, Isaac played for a bit, then we all took an afternoon nap.

[Edit]
I forgot to mention that on Thursday morning, both Daddy and I slept in and the boy was keeping himself busy in the morning.  He even raided the fridge and helped himself to some sliced black forest ham (and left a trail of it everywhere he went).  I tried to salvage some of the ham that was left out by cooking it in cream of mushroom soup (and serving it with some broccoli and pasta).
