Yesterday

Another long busy Thursday that made me want to quit or shoot myself. And finally Taiyo went to sleep after jumping on the bed for half an hour- it's my time to reflect on yesterday which already seems so long ago.

After our ritual of laundry and some food shopping in Chinatown, we stopped at Noodle Bar at Orchard and Stanton for lunch. Open side panels were inviting, plus it was convenient for us to be able to leave the bike right next to our table. Taiyo happily climbed onto the chair. Taiyo's water arrived with a straw, which is a good sign of an attention to the little customer. The lunch special, Teriyaki Chicken Soba with little salad and two spring rolls nicely arranged on a plate was pretty good deal for $8.25. Although it was too sweet to my taste, but Taiyo loved the cold noodle and he even worked on his chopstick stills before he cleared the plate. I've ordered in from them many times in the past, and food was generally good and it always arrived pretty fast. I didn't notice any high chairs or we were not offered any child seating, but it's fairy spacious and seems accomodating to strollers. Taiyo happily took our check to the waitress with money at the end. Fairy recommended.

After lunch we went past our street and kept going to hit the East River Park. The track is one of our favorite spot in this park- which makes me happy he loves this open space to run around. I swear I've run around this track at least a million times in the last 12 years. When we get there I always regret that I don't have my running shoes with me. This afternoon added bonus for Taiyo was cute little corns to play with. A short while later on the ride back home, he was of course fast asleep behind me.
