Caleb loves sushi. He started eating it in Monterey when Josh and I would order it (we never ate sushi in 29 Palms — I didn’t trust the idea of raw fish in the middle of the desert) and always wanted me to buy the jumbo sushi platters from Trader Joe’s. Throw in his love of gouda and brie cheese and the kid has quite a unique palate. He discovered a new dimension to his sushi love when we went to Dubai and he saw Yo Sushi! a sushi-go-round restaurant where you pull the items you want off the conveyer belt. Ever since he found out there is one here in Bahrain, he has wanted to go.
The different kinds of sushi are on different colored plates depending on price. Calvin is studying the menu’s pictures to see if he can identify the different rolls floating by. My favorite was probably the spicy tuna roll, followed by an inside out salmon roll, and an udon noodle soup. What I thought might be BBQ eel turned out to be deep fried salmon skin. It wasn’t my favorite.
At the end of the meal, they tally up the different colored plates to determine the cost of our dinner. The rest of the kids will eat sushi, but they don’t get as excited about it as Caleb. Carter lives for miso soup and simple vegetarian rolls. Calvin skips the soup and goes for any roll as long as there isn’t fish on the outside — he doesn’t like the texture. Camille ate a bit of everything, including wasabi, and kept trying to push the button for the waitress (it was built into the counter in front of her).

The end of last week (Wed/Thurs) Camille was still sick
(crashed in my lap)
So I ended up taking her to the doctor. Look at those sad, red rimmed eyes.
Of course while we were waiting for the doctor, she perked right up and started playing with my phone. It always happens that way.
Same kid as above, 30 minutes later. Right before the doctor came into the room. I’m the one with the tired eyes. Thankfully the doctor could hear she had crud in her chest and sinuses and since she’d already been sick for a week, gave me some antibiotics.
3 days later (Sunday) she is begging for her bubble gum flavored medicine and happily plays with her dollhouse.

She still has a cruddy sounding cough, but is doing much better.
