27 years

My family moved here from Taiwan 27 years ago. Wow! I have been in the united states longer than my birth country. Pretty amazing how time waits for no one.

Farm Trip 2

We went again to farm country.  Thanks to Gong for coming along, it made the hour long wait for pony ride tolerable for all included.  Still had moments of temper tantrums but am glad it was not just my child.

Got to ride wagon ride and play in the produce to market showroom.

A New Day

Surprise! Today I got two fun calls.  One from a parent from Wasatch who wants me to tutor their 2nd and 5th Grader.  West was my student two years before.  I agree and he will call later today to finalize some things.

Second, a mom I met at the park invited Wes and I to join their pre school group and we will have a play date on Thursday to finalize curriculum and pre school schedule.  I am excited!

Little Nostalgic

Well both babies are sleeping after a walk to the park this morning and visiting the library.  I've been looking at my predessor's webpage and it is very well done.  I have to admit feeling a little blue that I can't be among them and be immerse in the "glory".  This is a transition time I tell my self, after this it will prove that I am stronger and better.

At the park, I met another mom and asked her about her 3 year old, and wondered if her baby goes to preschool. And you know what she invited me to join their group.  Waiting to hear back if Wes can join the group sounds like fun for him and for me, wouldn't mind teaching little 3 year olds, even if its just 5 of them.  We'll see if she calls back.

Ari will turn 11 months old in a few days.  She is small for her age but is meeting all her milestones. A little lower tooth is even erupting! She also can use the walker to walk.

Wes is three now and can be very stubburn, but his vocabulary has really soared! Today he even counted with the computer up to 12!

A Gentler Approach

Today Gong gong and Ama came to visit the kids an hour before their nap time. So Wes threw a huge fit and did not want to nap. You name all the misbehavior, he did it. From slamming the door, going limp, throwing tantrums, he did not want to obey.  So I let him threw a fit in his room.  He bang his body towards the door, crying for all of us (Gong gong) .  After 5 or so minutes, I went into the room gave him a drink of water , held him in the rocking chair, and rubbed his back.  That did the trick. He calmed down and was able to follow through with nap. Raising kids, must Be firm and with compassion.

Real Birthday

A visit to the farm.
Favorite thing for Wes is the ride on pony. I can't help but think how sad these ponies were...

Happy 3rd Birthday Son
