aubreymToday was a big day for Tai. When he woke up at the crack of dawn he went down to spend the earliest morning with Mimi and Popa (Judy and Richard). They checked out our Christmas tree and then, since the rain had blown through for the morning, went for a long walk up Bernal Hill. Once Tom and I rolled out of bed around 9:00 we all went down to the Alemany Farmers Market where we got a ton of good fall/winter produce. For $14 we got persimmons, a pomegranate, collard greens, bok choy, carrots, broccoli, potatoes, and shittake mushrooms. I'm going to make some kick ass stir fry this week, and maybe some of my favorite Green Jade soup (gingery and warm).
After that we headed out to Union Square because we need a couch that isn't crappy, uncomfortable Ikea furniture. So we hit Crate and Barrel and Macy's. We went to Gumps and Borders. Everywhere was decorated for Christmas and Gumps had some beautiful handpainted ornaments from Krakow. If I had a spare $250 I totally would have purchased one. They were so beautiful even Tom appreciated them. And he's not one who is into that sort of thing.
Tai enjoyed our lunch - he had tofu and rice and mushrooms and cheerios at the Thai restaurant. He far prefers finger food to purees. It's hilarious to watch him pick up tiny tofu bits with his fingers. He's working on the pincher grasp, but isn't quite there. He's having the best time with his grand parents, it's great to see. We're lucky they want to be part of his life.
