Am I the "best mother in the universe"? I would hope so, at least to my little boy. I'm not ashamed to admit that I picked up this mug FOR MYSELF just the other day. I thought it was just too cute and couldn't resist the temptation.
I would absolutely love for my son to one day surprise me with a similar mug and that alone will make me feel like the best mother in the universe!!!
Ed and I felt inclined to attempt one of the world's messiest jobs of digging for Horseneck clams. So on a late Saturday afternoon around 2PM at Doran Park in Bodega Bay when the tide was low, we trekked across the muddy seabed in high hopes to dig out our prize! Along the way, our shoes -- be it tennis shoes or wellies were sucked in by the mud. This experience resembled that of sinking sand, except the mud was really thick. With each step, the mud would draw your feet down and it was a workout just to pull your foot out only for it to sink again as it lands back down onto the floor. If you're wondering if the "workout" was worth it, I suppose the answer is "Yes". Ed and I succeeded in bringing home 17 Horseneck clams (the limit is 10 per person) while helping our friends locate a number of clams too! There's no way, we wanted anyone in the group to go home empty handed!
The biggest clam (in the leftmost spot in the second row) was dug out towards the end of the adventure when we moved into a totally different spot. It's too bad we waited so long to move because it was the prime spot for digging larger sized clams. Oh well, let's hope they're fattening themselves up just waiting for the day that we come back and get 'em! :)
I wanted to take Mummy & Daddy's car (aka the baby mobile) out for a spin. Fortunately, for all of the drivers and pedestrians out there, I didn't quite make it out of the garage. Only 15 more years and 5 months to go before I can officially drive! *sigh! :(
Most Asians aren't as priviledged when it comes to having double eyelids. When I was born, my eyes were tiny and I certainly didn't have any double eyelids. Then in January, as mentioned in my earlier post, a double eyelid suddenly appeared in my left eye. This came much to the surprise of my Mummy who thought I'd be double eyelid-less! Since January, Mummy has been wondering when the other one will crop up on my right eye. Less than a month later, that day has finally arrived -- I am now sporting a pair of double eyelids! Yay for me (and Mummy)! :)
Here's wishing you a fabulous birthday, Grandma! May 2009 bring you lots of happiness, wealth and good health! :)
