Made in Taiwan

Practicing my sewing skills, mom does it much better. NJ has been asking me to mend his favorite blanket from grandma. He wouldn't stop using it and put a bunch of paper clips on it to hold it together. He was so excited to get it back. I hand sewed almost an entire side, but he still pointed out a spot that I missed. It reminds me of how much mom sews everything... For me as a kid and for NJ now. She made clothes for me when I couldn't fit into store bought clothes all those years I was sick. She made clothes for my barbies, blankets for my cabbage patch kids, and some of my favorite blankets that I still use today. NJ has his favorite too. She makes all of his torn pants (and ones that we get) into long shorts, which he loves. A lot of times I could patch things up for him, but it's not the same as when Ama does it. She has the special touch. 

There are some nights that we all eat a different dinner. NJ was happy to have the rest of the spaghetti sauce with elbow pasta, I had some ravioli, and Baba cooked up chicken and zucchini. We all had a bite of each other's food. NJ loves being right there when we're cooking or prepping and helps us. 

At bedtime he talked about a web getting launched into space in 2018 and the hubbles (that's what he called it) is almost done with it's job. Then something about it not being too close to the sun otherwise it'll explode. He gave a lot of other facts that I can't remember. I asked him how he knows all this. He said from Time Kids. Not bad. He's always full of random info from something he read or learned at school. He also asked about Shr Mama and Shr Baba and wants to know when they will have another baby for us. We talked about Taiwan, great grandma, Japan, our friends there, and when we'd go. NJ asked how old their youngest son is and insisted that I message his mom to ask.
