Kenny and Cooper and I went out for dinner with my parents a few nights ago, and we settled on my favorite sushi place, even though my menu options are a bit limited, at least for the next 7 (!) or so days. We were the first ones there, and it was one of those rare nights where both boys not only behaved perfectly, but ate everything that I put on their plates, from the edamame and sticky rice to the chicken katsu.
Halfway through dinner, Kenny started yelling, “Ahoy!” every time someone came in. I laughed as soon as I realized that he was hearing the traditional shouts of “Irasshaimase!” and translating them into a word that he knew. Cooper joined in not much after, and a fun time was had by all.
I ate as much wasabi as humanly possible, but the old, “Spicy foods trigger labor” hogwash didn’t work. Waa. Next on the list? A massage. And a little jumping rope…

Funny! And cute pics.
I’m impressed your kids ate everything.
If they didn’t have chicken nuggets, my kids wouldn’t eat. 🙂
Just came across your blog. Sounds like your about to get another great blessing in your life. I love how your kids can “translate” things. My dad lives in China and when I was younger my brother and I would ad-lib Chinese conversations into English and usually totally off topic.
Don’t feel bad… Chicken Katsu is thinly pounded chicken fried in panko batter… think of it as gourmet chicken nuggets! ha ha…
