Friday Dim Sum

Today Grace took the day off work, which meant that that after we dropped off Noah, we got to go to Dim Sum with Jonah. Of course we couldn't talk about this in Front of Noah. I'm sure he would be very upset if he found out. Jonah was really happy. Hei La Moon was practically empty and calm. Immediately Jonah started asking for food (even though he had eaten breakfast at home and I had given him a Bao left over from BCNC's open house.. also this morning) The carts were moving very slowly though. probably because they didn't yet see the point. Most of the customers were old people who looked like they'd already been there a while and were all set.
The thing about dim sum, is that during crowded times, it seems very difficult to have children. Hot carts moving around, hot tea, hot dishes.... but when it is quieter it is literally a tea party. We always get the Chrysanthemum tea so that Jonah can actually drink it. And there are a bunch of different dishes that have many colors, textures, and flavors... all very exciting for a two year old. Plus you can teach them the different names of the dishes like its a little game. If we have both kids together, it is usually pretty difficult, but Jonah seemed so happy today to have the attention of both parents, and to be able to Yum Cha.
