A day in the life from chocolate, fish and mushrooms in Borough Market...to an blistery evening with the not so itsy bitsy spider at Tate Modern interspersed with performances from street musicians and other cool stuff. It's really well done. I've excepted a musical interlude that I'm sure Buby and Zaida will enjoy very much. Enjoy.<br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dw3W0u0-8OJWKTB2G9eNSm_VISLEBlNj3KNuCXJTLclHJ426ipxTjsSfHtxkVATPvdEdyhpzUrrYzw' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>moishedaddyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00243712853761021891noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14328635.post-72517860037889921712007-12-23T16:56:00.000-08:002007-12-23T17:08:21.291-08:00Fun in DecemberEveryone has been sick these past few weeks. Mani had an ear infection, Salma had 9 days of fever up to 103, Zahra and I got some kind of chest cold. Quite a cacophony some nights at home. <br /><br />But recently we've started getting better. And to celebrate, I straightened my hair (Don't worry... just temporary).

Just a few weeks ago I took a <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/michael.goldbach/Mani2007/photo#5084981830655024402">video</a> of Mani struggling to crawl. Ameneh thought it was very cold and objective reporting. She didn't quite say cruel. Then, while we in San Diego, he started crawling for real. And now he's so happy to be moving around the house on his own. <br /><br /><embed width="448" height="361" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" src="http://i228.photobucket.com/player.swf?file=http://vid228.photobucket.com/albums/ee128/mgoldbach/Mani/ManiCrawling070807.flv"></embed><br /><br />Not stopping there though.

We were at Nersi & Bella's house tonight for dinner with Enayat and Avideh. Dinner was wonderful. Cranberry-pomegranate martinis to start. Delicious chicken and zereshk polo. A rare warm summer night in Berkeley--we were eating outside. The hours went by. We eventually changed both kids into their pyjamas. Mani fell asleep on Zahra's lap. Salma was relaxing on mine. At some point, she became tired and needed to sleep.<br /><br />We were going to go home. But Bella convinced us to try putting Salma to sleep in their spare room. I was in no rush to leave, so willing to try. There were two single beds. Quite narrow and a bit scary relative to the safety of her crib walls. I lay down with her for a while and talked about the day. As I got up, I positioned large pillows along the sides. And tucked her in. "Daddy is here, Salma".<br /><br />I stayed in the next room for a bit, waiting for the inevitable cry that would test to see if I were really there. It came after a few minutes. I walked in. Assured her that I was there. And made sure the pillows were in place. I was nervous about the bed. It really was narrow. I had visions of Salma rolling and falling off the side. I continued to wait in the next room. <br /><br />Next thing I know, there's Salma walking in the hall. All her 28 pounds and 34 inches covered in orange "ice cream" pyjamas...bare feet and ringlet hair... Making her way confidently through the hall. On her way outside to find Zahra. <br /><br />As if to say, "what did you think you were going to accomplish with those pillows, again?" "Hello, Dad. I'm 2 years old. Remember?" As Bella says, they're always one step ahead of you.moishedaddyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00243712853761021891noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14328635.post-684379996251952832007-07-08T11:53:00.001-07:002007-07-08T12:24:27.235-07:00Mani sitsLots about Salma lately and more to come as she finishes her toilet trainig. Meanwhile Mani is making his own moves. He's a happy guy now that he can sit on his own. He's also in that beginning crawling stage where he moves backwards.

She seems to have learned it at the day care with Roxanna. Last weekend they had a party... complete with clowns, candy floss and live afro-peruvian music. Her latest feat was to trick Ameneh's boyfriend David into walking with her down to the toy store. Hopefully khale will tell us the story herself. It seems the Salma is engaging more with her environment, enjoying it and talking about it.</br></br></br><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3RcjOs_X9flRMP0ElTQ7Rm3_ybakcn-cIAXaf9yKxj6x58kuCZJycvhggMfuNZatWT9UujwMIsvmznwiSGxiSkU6KG5UbMwx_69M8pn9CgkLUEGZjegz8PrNH4Oi_HmKgy-fi/s1600-h/03+party.jpg"><img style="float:left;
