Post 100.

This is obviously not my 100th post. Nor is it really about anything 100. In any case, now that Elsy has reached a four month milestone, we can reflect on her first 100 days of life which we kind of did at her 100 day celebration (held late so that it was conveniently enough near my birthday and when GKMMM were in town).

We had around 100 people invited to the party of which only two did not show. Had I remembered that the venue had a projection screen available I would've put together a slide show of her first 100 days instead of the tennis game or baseball game (although the baseball game was quite the hit!). It was unfortunate that we were not able to really greet all of our invitees properly. I tried to focus on those that we rarely ever see. But even then, it was still not enough time for those that we were able to talk to!

I am still amazed that four months have gone by and none of us has had any serious issues. Things have been going relatively smoothly. Smooth enough for a second kid you might be wondering? No - I'd like to aim for at least three!

In addition, we were too poor to really enjoy a cone of soft ice cream when it did show up so I never built up that sense of tradition that others would share with their children. As suck, when the truck does drive by, I don't rush out to grab a cone for my kids. Also, the pandemic does not help either. Still, maybe one day this summer we will indulge our kids. Maybe. Oh, but that was beside the point. Today I heard the ringing of a bell. This was not the sound I'm used to for an ice cream truck so I decided to investigate with Serena. As the truck drive by, I wondered to myself how such a small truck could be used to sell ice cream much less any kind of food. But then it dawned on me: this was not a food tru

Boot to the Head.

We were planning on going to the beach this morning but our plans got derailed when Serena stomped on Elsy's face and we had to wait for the bleeding to stop. It took so long that there was a chance we needed to go to the hospital. In the end, we thought it too risky to leave the house this morning lest the gusher started again, and so we set up the water table at home instead.

So it seems as if the link I had to the Polynesian Cultural Centre was flagged as a bad site. I double checked the link and, yup, I got a warning when I tried to visit it. I double checked if the link was changed and no, the search and Wikipedia still point to the same page so.. I just removed the link. We will see how the repost goes.
