Bath time - it's hard work!
We bought the Aqua Pod once MJ could sit up which was around 7 months old. It was my new favorite purchase that I had Mothercare HK order for me. MJ would sit and just look at me while washed his upper body (lower half is always washed on the edge of the tub before sitting him down.) BUT then once MJ learned how to use t-bar to stand up, it was all over. He would stand up and turn towards me and then lean on the side.....This is now 8 months. So in all, the aqua pod lasted us really 1 month. Such a shame, since I really loved it!

A Saturday Just for Two
We are here in HK for Chinese's New Year since my husband has to work. It's not sooo bad.....It really just means that our helper, Judy gets Monday - Wednesday off. As a result, J and I decided to have a special Saturday morning of just us two in Central. We began it with an amazing breakfast L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon in The Landmark. We both had mixed omlettes which were perfectly cooked and not an ounce of oil or butter dripping from it. The croissants are deliciously buttery and flaky. The coffee is strong and the service is top notch. Only drawback was that it was quite dark inside. Next we walked up to Wellington Street for 50 minutes of pure bliss at Happy Foot. #35 and #36 gave amazing massagges which then ended with a ten minute back rub. It's one of the best $25USD we've spent! After our massages we cabbed it over to Times Square for a quick dim sum lunch at Heinchinrou which is my new favorite spot. The restaurant clean and family friendly. I loved the spring rolls and dumplings. Another bonus is that you can actually do some shopping below afterwards! Yes, we were stuffed afterwards and cabbed it back just in time for MJ's afternoon nap. After we put MJ down for the night, we quietly snuck back into Central to Lung King Heen in the Four Season's where we ordered the best Peking duck which comes to you in two courses - the first being in pancakes and then second being minced up in lettuce wraps. Yes, we knew we were just two people. My husband ate 12 pancakes out of 18 pancakes. We each then had two lettuce wraps and had to take home the rest. It was such a fun Saturday then I think I might stay in HK any day!

Do I miss Central? YES
So what if we are far from the best restaurants and the closest major market is in Stanley. That's ok, right?
