Just Like Daddy




This morning, we walked to the Paragon with Jo, Stella, and Sam. Brandon and I don't go to the Paragon that often. It's a nice indoor playground. However, it's geared for children a little older than Brandon. Plus, there isn't a gate to the play area. So, I have to chase Brandon quite a bit. He likes to run out of the play area into the mall. The Paragon is harder work for Mommy! It was nice to go to the Paragon today for a change though. I don't want either of us to get burnt out with Royce or the Forum.

On the way out of the Paragon, I stopped at the grocery and bought some cucumber and avocado maki rolls. I gave one to Brandon, but he wasn't too sure about it. We'll keep trying.


A month or two ago when we went to get our green cards, I struck up a conversation with a woman who was in line next to us. She has a daughter one month older than Brandon, as well as another baby a few months old. I ran into this woman again today at the Paragon. Small world. It took us a while to remember where we had met before. It turns out that she lives on Leonie Hill Road. (We live on Leonie Hill. "No road", as we tell the cab drivers.) We exchanged phone numbers, and we plan to get together soon.

We had a lazy afternoon in the apartment just lounging, reading, and playing. Brandon is starting to have more facial expressions. While we mostly see his happy face, Brandon now has shown a frustrated look, a mad look, and a mischievous look. I'm sure there are even more. Brandon is so expressive. He is quite the chatterbox too. So curious to know what he's saying sometimes when he is pointing his finger at me and babbling. And, when I'm not paying quite enough attention, he knows to get just a little bit louder. Wow. Kids learn fast! :)
