As I said to someone else recently -

Busy is not enough word to describe this adaptation process.

Apologies for not being out here - you guys ROCK, BTW.

There are new updates at xanxanbell -

catsonmars came out for dinner last night - and we had the BEST Chinese food I never found in Taiwan. I remember sitting there making a pig of myself wondering what the hell was wrong that I could never find anything that just made me go WOW THIS IS GREAT while I was there.

Because dinner last night was just that good.

The kid gained half a pound between the endocrinologist visit on Tuesday and the pediatrician on Friday. I'm wondering if that's a true figure or not - but he's very much 2'6" tall and 25-26 lbs. Some of the 18 mos clothes fit - and some of the 24 mos are too big yet.

No snap crotches. All those clothes are being phased out as unsuitable. This kid is ready to rock!

I have a huge post to do on 'Here kid, have some privilege' - in the meantime, have this story on how someone has been teaching white people how to 'get it' - into her seventies.

Damn, I'd be pretty cranky about it too, if I were her.

Talk later!

I remember going to San Antonio for Worldcon years ago, and getting nothing but crapola in the Mexican food or even Tex-Mex direction. I've gotten to the point on Chinese after going to five-star Guangzhou restaurants that I will NOT go to crappy Chinese for any reason.

Clothes in America are set up for Europeans, not Southern Chinese, and it's just a matter for kids of finding out what fits.

If I'm to believe two scales in two different doctor's offices, the kid gained half a pound between Tuesday and Friday last week.

Outside of bananas and potatoes, though - not a whole lot of fruits and vegetables. Toddler. Not going to worry too much about it.
