Saturday, a nice winter noon that felt like summer. Lunar New Year is less than 2 weeks so the malls around us starting to celebrate; Main Place mall the is the one that celebrated earlier compares to other malls. The stage with dance/singer performance took place near in front of Macy’s. We came when a group of Taiwanese dancers were performing; very beautiful and colorful costumes. William seemed to enjoy watching the dance.
There was another area for children with craft activities, face painting and the animal balloons which was at the other end of the mall. We waited in line for so long to get the balloon; William picked the sword. William was waited very patiently seating in his stroller without crying. Finally when we got our balloon; I let him out of the stroller but he refused to get up. I asked “What do you want?”
– I want home. – He replied.
I guess the time of waiting in line for a balloon is not really worth it. He got tired of waiting; and me too. I should have a asked him if he wanted the balloon or not. We could just go back to the stage and watch the rest of the performances. Why I didn’t think of that? I guess I just assumed that he wants the balloon.
