I don’t know about other families, but April and May get so incredibly busy for us, and it seemed to be doubly so this year. We didn’t plan to go anywhere for the boys’ spring break, but with a birthday party and a family wedding thrown into the usual mix of all the movies and outings I plan for us every couple of weeks — this spring felt like a neverending frenzy of exhausting weekends.
The boys have come along way when it comes to dim sum.

When we first brought them, they were very leery of the food that did not look anything like chicken and rice, or noodles, or nuggets. Chris, however, warmed up to it quickly, and was soon devouring everything that had shrimp in it — the har gow, the shrimp balls on sugar canes, the fried won tons. But, Michael and Elliott had a harder time getting into it.

When we went again the next year, they looked really unhappy to be there for my Mother’s Day Saturday brunch. Sigh.

I don’t know if it we have learned what the boys will actually eat (and yes, we do choose places based on what we know they’ll eat, unfortunately), or that they finally learned to enjoy dim sum. Either way, I’m just glad everyone enjoyed themselves for once.
Beware the secret Mother’s Day wish for just a little time off your feet.
