Well, operation stuff the baby worked – at least last month – he gained the required 1.5 lbs. And we go back at the beginning of October for another check. Hopefully he will have gained a mere half a pound by then. He still won’t eat meat, although this week he did ravage a trader joe’s apple chicken sausage. Not too bad for you, just a lot of sodium. He’s getting a haircut today – it’s starting to look like a mullet in the back!
Ikea was fairly successful. We purchased three of these FJUS shelves for our pantry, and yes, they are actually up and in use. It’s great to have more space for our pantry. But yes, the old pantry shelves are also still sitting there waiting to be moved to our upstairs bedrooms aka storage space. We also purchased this round GRUNDTAL mirror for our entry way, although I’m not sure it will work. It’s currently painted brown (jacaronda brown mind you) with a nice painting that sort of blends in a bit too much. I thought the mirror would brighten the area up, but I’m not sure round is the right shape. We did buy a square mirror with a digital clock in the corner, which is SO silly, but it was the right size and shape (and cheap) for our bathroom. We just don’t have the battery in so it’s a blank square. Oh well.
We didn’t find any bathroom cabinets – these VATTERN/ANORDNA ones they have are OK, but it’s still sort of cheapy and the counter tops to choose from suck. I suppose we could do our own countertop somehow. Maybe it’s more effort than it’s worth. Meanwhile the search sort of continues.
Well, I’m eating leftovers from dim sum yesterday and feeding little D the chow fun noodle rolls and sticky lotus rice. We hit Uwajamaya after and I picked up some seaweed to make wakame (seaweed) salad and a package of fresh wide rice noodles. I think I’m going to attempt some sort of noodle dish tonight. Little D LOVES seaweed salad. I think it’s because of the vinegar.
