Mommy, this is how we rolled around in your tummy!
In some way this was prompted last week when both twins became quite good at recognising people (and consequently crying at the sight of strangers...). When our part time maids came, Jun Lee cried when she saw them, and did the same with our friends who came by this morning.
Tonight we brought them out to TGI Fridays at 1-Utama for dinner. There simply aren't that many baby-friendly places around, and while TGIF wasn't ideal, it was reasonable provided you got a corner waaaaayyy off the smoking section. Music was quite loud, but that didn't seem to bother babies at all. The only thing that did bother Jun Lee was being put facing the wall. She got bored and started fidgeting (together with accompanying noises...). Everything was well as soon as we put her facing the rest of the restaurant. It was mighty lucky we managed to snag a parking spot right in front of TGIF too.
Hostess got us a decent table by the corner with reasonable space to park the strollers, and was very friendly with the babies. Dinner went well, food was usual TGIF standards; that is to say, nothing outstanding, but you know what to expect. Kinda sounds a bit like McDonalds doesn't it...
I ordered the ever-reliable cheeseburger, and also the 39.90 set menu. The 39.90 menu seems to have gone a bit downmarket, I can't recall what exactly they took off, but I do know they removed the ribs from the entree choices. Ended up with boneless chicken wings (chunks of chicken coated in batter and fried, heavy-handed with the batter, but genorous portions nevertheless...), sizzling chicken and cheese (two large piece of chicken breast grilled and swimming in a sizzling bath of cheese, very satisfying for cheese fans...) and chocolate malt cake (very ordinary and not recommended...).
After dinner it was only 8.30, so went to the new wing to buy plastic bowls for babies' cereal, and back to old wing where wifey bought clothes. Babies very well behaved, but then this is their first time in 1-Utama (I have subsequently been informed by wife that they HAVE been to 1-U, though I can't remember when), so they were boggled eyed throughout, and didn't sleep a wink.
Just how tired they were was evident when they fell asleep pretty much as soon as we got out of the carpark. Took the long way home to let them nap a little more, and tired out from their trip, slept very well throughout the night.
