Woohoo Four Day Weekend!

I took a couple of days off for the Memorial Day weekend, and spent it mainly with my family, which I enjoyed tremendously.
It's amazing to me to see what children are fascinated in. Every time I get a haircut my daughter Mirinda is so interested in where my hair went. She's not making a bald joke. On Friday I needed to get my haircut, so I took her with me and she stood by me the whole time watching them cut my hair with a look of fascination on her face. She's asked me a few times since then where my hair went, but now I can remind her that she saw it being cut off, which is a must easier explanation then they through my hair in the garbage.
I really do dig having kids. I'd love to get back to the point where the smallest thing can make me happy. On Saturday, for instance, we woke up in the morning, ate some Captain Crunch with Crunchberries, went to a birthday party, went swimming, then went to Lagoon. It was an incredibly full day of fun. However, for Mirinda and Priya their favorite part of the day was after Lagoon when we went to the Smith's that has the "baby car carts", which are mini shopping carts that they can push around. Both of them made it very clear that walking around a store pushing a shopping cart was the best thing that possibly could have happened to them that day. Frustrating and adorable at the same time. Which pretty much sums up parenthood.
We made an executive decision on Saturday about Priya's hand. We got a lot of tips about the DryPro cast thing (not a sponsor) and we bought one. It would have worked perfectly except most sandwich bags are longer than Priya's arm, so she could have used this as a sleeping bag. We tried wrapping her arm up in a bag with some medical tape, and it didn't work. Priya had already removed the cast a few times that day, and now it was wet. We decided to take it off and wait until the fall to fix her finger. With all the different appointments she has still to go through, we figured we were OK to wait a few months. Her finger isn't broken or anything like that, we're just trying to straighten it out. Most of our activities in the summer time revolve around the water. I think we made the right decision. There are so many doctor appointments coming up for this kid. She's meeting with a geneticist soon, an eye doctor, and I think there's an appointment with a witch doctor at some point. 
Priya is starting to put sentences together. Yesterday we were at City Creek and she saw the fish swimming and said "Look there's fish". Considering 2 months ago she had only spoken Murathi this is a huge accomplishment. She also discovered that she really likes it when I toss her in the air. My arms aren't very happy with me.
Anyone who know me knows that I'm passionate about food, so here is my restaurant recommendation for the week: Sweeto Burrito. I've been preaching the good word about this place, and will continue to do so. I've had almost everything on the menu over the last few months, and it is all amazing. It is better than ANYTHING at Cafe Rio. I know it's heresy to say that in Utah, but trust me, it is really that good. If nothing else, just try their sweet pork burrito, called the Sweeto Burrito. You'll be hooked. They have street tacos and salads as well. The kids menu has everything at $2.
If anyone has any questions about adoption, or really anything related to what I write about, feel free to message me. I'm always happy to answer questions. Thanks for reading!

  2. I used to think you were heretical for your opinions on Cafe Rio, but I'm starting to agree with you. They are getting so stingy on how much meat they put in things. It's more disappointing than it used to be. We will try Sweeto Burrito on your recommendation :)
