VBS Week

VBS this week at his old preschool. Lots and lots of kids. I hope there are some kids from his school so he has people he knows. I'm excited for him, I think he'll have fun. 

Mom gave us some sticky rice or taiwanese tamale or bah tsang. She says we're supposed to eat it this time of year or something about celebrating it or a festival. Or I don't know maybe I should have asked. She also told us that some have mushroom and the others had egg, but we didn't know which. I guess it'll be a surprise then. 

NJ went to stay with Ah-ma since I have a very, very early morning appointment. I got an email with this picture from my mom. She's getting high-tech on me. She took this with her iPad and sent it by email. I got a call from Mom telling me that Dad had taken NJ to the toys r us. I thought: Oh no. Did he ask to go or to be taken there? Was it my dad that wanted to and offered? Did he ask so he could get something? What did he ask for? What if he asks for something expensive?
We called Dad to thank him for taking him. He called back to say that he wanted to take him, he was good, and didn't ask for anything. He did pick out a set that he wanted to buy and intended to pay for it. Dad said NJ took out his wallet and money and everything, but didn't have quite enough. So Dad paid for it. It was sweet to hear my dad tell the story, to hear him talk about NJ and laugh and say how cute he is. He was impressed by how he didn't ask for anything and tried to pay. I only wish I was there to witness this cuteness, but at the same time it made me so happy to know that my dad and my son spent time together. I think that's the first time my dad's taken NJ out by himself. Me, Baba, or Ah-ma is always with him. I love to hear my dad talk about NJ and to see him with NJ. It always makes me smile.
