How to blog about "nothing"...

Seinfeld was/is our favorite show even though it was billed as "a show about nothing." Ever since I started our family blog, I have even more respect for Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David. How did they write the scripts of "a show about nothing" and made it so funny? Personally, I find it hard to blog about "nothing." I mean it's really really hard to blog about the daily routine of sleeping, working, cooking, taking care of S, doing laundry and doing dishes. It was a lot easier to blog about our adoption journey and vacation trips to Taiwan, Korea and Cambodia, but I really don't know how to blog about our daily routines and make it interesting.. However, I have decided to stop being hard on myself and just acknowledge (to myself) my lacking of ability to write anything witty, funny or insightful. I should be rich and famous if I am 10% as talented as Seinfeld or Larry David.:) Besides, I didn't choose Accounting and Finance majors for no reasons.. hahaha... yes, I am only good at maths & English is NOT my first language! I will focus on posting pictures only in future entries.

Finally, we do have "something" to blog about, because we ventured outside of our daily routine of sleeping, working, cooking, taking care of S, doing laundry and doing dishes (sadly, those 6 tasks sum up 80% of my life on earth). We had a very fun weekend meeting up with Grandma and Grandpa again in Vacaville. They showed S some good time in this mini amusement park in the Nut Tree shopping center. S had a great time driving a fire truck with Grandma and being in the arms of Grandpa. He wasn't allowed to ride the merry-go-round giraffe like his so "grown-up" cousin K was, but he was satisfied with just sitting in this merry-go-round chair with daddy. :) We also tried Amici's. Great pizza at a reasonable price. We look forward to trying the new Thai restaurant next time we meet up with Grandma and Grandpa.

When is a baby not a baby anymore?

S is almost 22 months old and I still can't stop referring to him as my "baby". However, at 35 inches tall and 26 pounds heavy, he really doesn't qualify as a "baby" anymore. :( I miss my tiny helpless baby S very very much, but I also look forward to seeing the joys in his eyes each time he learns a new skill.

In the past month, S has learned to
* use a fork and spoon..yeah!
* wipe his own hands and face after mommy hands him the baby wipe, then uses the same wipe to clean his table..very frugal baby... :)
* "use" a pen to draw "nothing" but lines. Mommy still considers drawing lines a major "achievement."
* throw a tennis ball against the wall and anything or anyone in his way.. mommy is getting tired of this "achievement" fast, esp when it hurt and caused a few bruises!
