17 months old

Life with a 3.5 year old and 17 months old is very messy, dirty, exausting job.  But when they both tell you I love you when you put them to bed, it is satisfying.

17 months old A can run, chatter box, has several dramatic toddler moments where she is inconsoleble. Life can be very challenging. I think I am deaf from her cries.

Pictures of fun moments

Chinese Charter

A first in subbing in a Charter chinese school.  the two classes were very chatty and downright disrespectful (talking over each other, not listening, fooling around)  Finally, I had to tell one class in English, this behavior is not okay. they were surprised but obey, for about ten minutes.

What was most interesting about this subbing experience was that the "world language specialist" came by to see me twice and even gave me a $20 gift card plus she wanted me to come work for them.  She even said the difference with charter schools is that they can negotiate your pay.

Just thought that although this experience was the longest I traveled 30 minutes for an assignment, but it sure was worth for the affirmation and recognition.

Live it up, mama! Your unstoppable.

Post office field trip

I have to admit this field trip was a bit dry for the little kids. My boy and another were messing around. We (the moms) did get to see the inside of an post office and see how they work.

Still glad we went. Next  month animal shelter.

Funny boy

Yesterday, while I was washing the girl hands in the sink, the boy was washing his hands in the toilet.

Oy, the joys of parenthood.

Sick Tuesday

Our second  day at home. Baby vomited this morning, both still have runny nose from weekend.  Pre school was also cancelled due to lady having sick child.

Still thinking about going to our job meeting for today...cancelled it.  It' wouldn't be right to get other kids sick.

New adventure of old Jeanwae

Got a call regarding position for Chinese pre school teacher in Provo. A gal from byu is setting up a shop for Chinese, Spanish and French immersion pre school. She already found qualify applicants for French and spanish but has yet found Chinese. 

With my concerns, she seems like she really wants me. 

I bring 10 year teaching experience, masters in education, and certified teacher. She is willing to work with me and said ari can come to school too. I told her I cannot commit to 100% , because it is 4 days a week, 3 hours a day. She even said I can work two days a week and she find someone else to make the other 2 days. 

With ari she said I can bring her until Xmas and then reevaluate, esstientally the first 4 months. That means the both of them can go to school with me.

I tell b it just feels good to have purpose outside of our daily routine, and to be able to continue my craft even if it's Chinese teaching in pre school.
