It happens relatively quickly—a bowl of sloppy greens to a slice of Norwegian salmon served up with spring onions, coriander and ginger. And then there were the prawns at the fish shop he declared he simply loved and would just have to have for dinner sometime as they were his absolute favourite. A family meal out for us doesn’t come with a bucket of chicken or a drive-thru the golden arches … my three-year-old would rather dine on salmon sashimi and rainbow rolls, washed down with a small can of soda water. We have now tried every half-price-sushi joint in Cape Town. Beluga is a hot favourite, followed closely by Salushi and Geisha. Can you imagine what he’s going to be ordering when he’s a teenager? Best we start saving now!

From Slop to Sushi
Friday, May 1st, 2009M-Power
Thursday, April 30th, 2009Because I always stick my neck out, I get my head chopped off quite often. I am fair but strict … possibly a little too strict … but I also believe in empowerment through giving all the tools to grow. This includes the ability to speak using proper vocabulary, the ability to argue his case raher than letting him get his own way, and the ability to use numbers logically. There are those who believe that enabling my child in this way is not allowing him to be a child. But I already catch glimpses of the incredible man my little boy is going to be and, as a result, I find it difficult to get my levels of mothering right. When I look at my toddler and see a gorgeous man, I find it tricky treating him like a child.
