03.03.10 (posted 03.06.10) - the great thing about having business trips to the bay area is that i get a chance to also see my relatives while i'm there. after a very productive all-day meeting, i met with up my cousin and her family at their home in berkeley. my cousin, rl, prepared a delicious dinner... butternut squash lasagna, baked brussel sprouts, and beets. yum!
while she was cooking, i hung out with my niece, s. i couldn't get over the fact that s is talking now. the last time i saw the kiddo i remember i was in awe by the fact she was walking (or more like running)... and now she is talking in complete sentences. wow, time goes by fast.
well, s has quite a personality. she pulled out one of the stainless steel mixing bowls. then put it on her head and proceeded to walk around the kitchen with it. a pretty hilarious sight i must say! she has a toy kitchen set complete with a sink, oven, coffee maker, and blender. hehe. s was "baking" us some goodies. she wanted us to have a "picnic" in where else but the living room. our meal was of course the finest that a 2-year-old can dream off... ice cream with "chocowit" and "gumilla" flavors, cupcakes, and for good measure an orange. well... you know, she is concerned that we get in our fruits for the day.
i only wish i could have spent more time with my cousin and her family that night. i had to catch a red eye back to nyc. hopefully, i'll get to see them again real soon.
