Manic Monday and an Award
Manic Monday prompt by Mo
This weekend we met up with my sister’s family to celebrate her birthday at a new Japanese hibachi restaurant nearby. Gus has had a sort of love/hate relationship with Japanese hibachis: when he was very young, they were no problem, at around 2 they traumatized him, and now he loves them again. It was a great time, especially since he spontaneously decided he wanted to try sushi! Fortunately for him, my nephew eats it and ordered some so Gus could try it.
He shoved a piece of raw white fish (it was either squid or halibut) in his mouth, and with a full maw exclaimed, “I wike it!” The salmon didn’t get as positive a reception. I was so impressed he actually ate it without spitting it out, that I didn’t bother to remind him not to talk with his mouth full. We had a great time and he must have eaten his body weight in food. MM tried some new things too: edamame (soy beans), soup, and fried rice. It was a win all around!
Which gives me a nice segue into the Lemonade Award I received from 2 bloggers: Caregiving Daughter and More Than a Number. So, I’d like to thank them for the recognition and will pass the honor on to a couple of bloggers who exhibit a positive attitude:
Healing…Through the Eyes of Autism
Have a great day, everyone & try to keep it positive!
