Last day of Tom's vacation
Jan. 4th, 2009 10:06 pmTom's been on vacation since Christmas Eve. It's been good for both Tai and I to have him around. I get more of a break, and Tai has gotten some quality time with his Daddy. Several times this past week Tom and Tai have gone to the park just the two of them. It gave me a chance to just be by myself for an hour or two, and it gave them a chance to not have Momma watching all the time.
Today Tai spent much of the day whining. I think he's teething - he's been drooling a lot too, though he won't let me look at his bottom teeth. He just cut one on the top, bringing his total to 6. I think Tom has a better idea of how I feel after a day of Tai-whine, though! I'm not looking forward to tomorrow, though. It's going to be an adjustment for all three of us, after getting to some sort of routine.
There were some high points of the day, though. We picked up burritos at my favorite taqueria in the Mission and took them to Dolores Park. Tom shared his with Tai, who enjoyed it quite a bit. We played on the swings, Tai slid down the slide, we met a couple of other babies who were close to Tai's age. And then we came across a brass band practicing down by 18th and Dolores.
I love San Francisco. Where else can you find a bunch of hipsters playing brass band music on the street? One dude with a huge scruffy beard playing sax. A guy with an anarchy tatttoo on his hand playing something that looked like a mini-french horn. A skinny hipster girl playing a saw with a bow. Two big drums played by a girl in horn-rimmed glasses and another guy. A girl playing a snare drum. It rocked. Tai wasn't sure if he liked it at first, but then he got into the groove and danced.
Tonight I finished my first loaf of handmade bread. It wasn't bad. It turned out a little bit heavy, but I was using Safeway All purpose flour and added in some wheat as well. Plus, it was my first time! Tom ate a whole piece and I had two. We'll see if Tai likes it tomorrow.
Tom made a big batch of applesauce. It came out very tasty. Not as sweet as the pear-sauce, but more complex. He mixed a bunch of different apple types, which I think was a good idea. It didn't get finished until after Tai's bed time, so he'll be tasting that for the first time tomorrow as well.
