The Second Revolution

After several weeks of staying home and fully recovered from her cold, finally Caroline started in the new daycare. The only complaint I have is it's a bit small, but on cold days, it seems to be cozy and provides a little comforting thought that not that many kids are in this school.

Caroline fought a little bit in the morning, but I think she is happy there. She would wave me bye-bye starting from the 2nd day and the third day is not hard in the morning either. Now my only wish is for her to keep healthy for a bit longer time. Not so easy in the harsh daycare environment, since I found the teacher was sick this morning. However, staying home really bored her, a little social and action are very good for her.

Also started her in the My Gym class, she seemed to enjoy it a lot, also a birthday party in Gymboree. I found her to have grown up a lot, she talks with more sense, she understands stories better, and she cooperates better if you rub her in the right way :) Hopefully the not-so-terrible terrible two is gone for good.

Derrick is surprise who is always happening, he could pull himself up from sitting to stantding holding on something from 7 month on (or even younger), and I just read in the magazine that this is a milestone typically reached by 9 month. He can even stand for a few seconds on his own legs now. He crawls so fast, it's really a hard task to keep up with him. He enjoys solids a lot now, not that much interest in milk :(. But every time we dine out, he shows interest (sometimes eats) a lot of food...

Last weekend, when we were in Costco, Derrick and Caroline was sharing the shopping cart for the first time :)

郁闷的事

兰兰又生病了, 上呼吸道感染之外, virus搞的全身又长了好多小红点, 又把二宝带病了.

儿医说,是不是冬天给她幼儿园停一停. 她们现在一个班二十个小朋友, 真是没有消停的时候, sigh, seriously 考虑中

Last night, Caroline woke up twice, and Derrick work up countless times :( Derrick's little nose has become so yellow, looks so pitiful. I was thinking of switching her to a preschool close by, but as luck has it, today is Columbus Day so the school is closed. I have to wait till tomorrow to find out whether they have opening or not.

Not sure if her English will be good enough if she just attends a school just for half a day each day. But that will a new xdx for next year I guess...

体型论

偶以前也很希望自己有model figure, 或者说至少是苗条身材
虽然从来没实现过, 不能阻挡我贼心不死

最近减肥又读了点资料, 发现某科学家已经给大家的身材归了类
主要的确有:
苹果形(就是腰围爱长的)
梨形(就是屁股和大腿爱长的)
还是芹菜形(就是怎么吃都不怎么长的)

想想自己多少年都是个梨形, 大概再过多少年也就是个梨形, 减减也就是个瘦梨,
真要减得跟人芹菜形的一样那不只有梨核了,hoho

偶减肥呀, 锻炼呀都是只要健康就好了, 主要想着有个好身体好带孩子, 将来再
多活两年, 抱孙子 :P

遇到bully怎么办？

兰兰最近开始说不要去幼儿园， 我们都觉得很奇怪因为她以前很喜欢去的。刚开始以为是升了新班的关系，后来越来越不对劲，昨天早晨还哭着从家里走的。

晚上又说不要去幼儿园的话， 我就慢慢问她，原来是因为一个小朋友打她。这个孩子我注意到过，早晨他一般都去得比兰兰早，感觉就是相当粗鲁，就连老师管教他都挺费力气的。而且听兰兰的说法，他也打别的小朋友。

我今天早晨跟老师谈， 果然我提个头，老师就是知道说的是谁。她说她会更注意的。问题是兰兰真的是很胆小的性子， 我教她说要是Chad再打你旁边又没有老师的话你就打回去，她还不肯， 说不要打他。

我准备晚上让老公再跟幼儿园的owner谈谈， 看他有什么别的办法没有。现在我决定，将来一定给她上karate class,练点胆气。

Birthday Party

Saturday Sep 30th is Caroline's birthday party. We finally decided to have it at home, but ordered some dishes as take out. Even so, grandma spent almost half a day to prepare food. Guests include Aimee, Eric, Sophy and Sissy. Caroline was a bit shy, especially when she became the center of the attention. She even cried when everybody sang "happy birthday" to her. But she loved the cake (Mango mousse) and the mooncake afterwards. Among all the gifts, she loved the gifts that mom bought the best, which is natrual, otherwise I will be upset I guess :P. We bought her a Thomas Train, a dancing teletubby (laa-laa), and a keyboard. She is soooo happy with the Thomas, even carrying him when she goes to sleep.

Finding Nemo

Last Sunday, watched Finding Nemo video with Caroline, it's the first time that she actually watched a movie. At least she sat through most of it, unlike Bambi, she ran away after about 10 minutes. It's still a bit too long for her I think, and she can't really understand the whole story. Even for myself, I think the story is somewhat dark and somewhat violent at times.

I think she is still not ready for such stories, for now, she is glued on to Thomas videos :)
