With school back in session, my children are so tired by Friday night, going out to dinner is becoming more trouble than it’s worth. Tonight, we sprung for a babysitter and made a beeline for Sushi Nami. For about the past month or so, we’ve been in at least once a week and usually sit right at the sushi bar. My daughter stands on her chair, watches, and waves to the sushi chefs as she munches down avocado rolls. My son usually sits next to me and has gotten more and more adventurous – he now eats an entire order of cucumber rolls (kappa maki) by himself and is beginning to ask for bbq’ed eel (unagi).
As we walked in, the two hostesses asked at the same time, “where are your kids?” We were seated at the sushi bar and greeted by one of the waitresses we often see, and she asked, “where are your kids?” Not to be outdone, the lead chef walked over to take his station and asked, “where are your kids?” It seems my children have a fan club. We missed having them with us, but at the same time, really enjoyed just getting to be “us” again, even if just for an hour. And instead of ice cream after dinner, we went across the street to the pet store and played with puppies.

The girl also has started to eat an order of avacado rolls by herself as long as they cut them a little smaller, which they happily do. I did miss them but I WAS nice being us again....
I loved playing with the DOGS!
