Guess what??? He got a green chair......

Isaac also has a BIG BIG wrapped gift...so he decided to sit on it.

After she openend it, it is a bucket of Play doh.....Wow!

Eunice is so happy tonight because she has received a Christmas gift.

Christmas party at Eunice's school

Eunice had a Christmas party at school today. She was so excited that she invited Kit, Grandma and Isaac to join the party. First they had the circle time and sang songs. Then a Santa was coming and gave out gifts to each child even Isaac had a gift too. Finally, some food was served. Eunice had a great time and was same as Isaac. Unfortunately, I couldn't take the picture for Eunice and Santa because she refused to sit on his lap. Oh! Isaac was so excited with the Christmas tree and the lights and wanted to walk around. I think he liked the school very much.

Power Out...

It was very windy in the afternoon and at night the power was out. Andrew came in our room at 3:00am and said that the power was out. I thought I was dreaming and said OK... Andrew said again there was no heat. Now I was awake. What we could do was to keep everyone close to each other and put more clothes on. At 7:00am, Isaac woke up and wanted to have milk. Andrew took 15 minutes to warm the milk with the portable gas stove. Then we needed to pack the milk and some food from the fridge and took them to grandmother's house. What a big mess! Luckily, at noon, the power was back and Isaac and Eunice could go back home to sleep.

Our 2 Angels said ...

CHEERS !! MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL OF YOU !!!

2 Little Snow Angels

Vancouver had a big snow on last week of November. Eunice stayed at home because of the snow but she still had a great time. Andrew made a snowman for her. She played snowball fight with daddy. On Thursday, the weather was getting warmer a little bit so I dressed them up and let them stayed at the backyard for a while. Both of them were very excited and happy.

Eunice : I am ready! Are you ready???


Isaac : Wait for me! I don't have my boots on. My Boot! Mom!!!


Eunice : Let's play! Snowball....


Isaac : I am making one. Let's see!


Isaac : How come I can't make it?? Try again.

I am the happy "Helper" too...

Not only Eunice is a happy "helper", but Isaac too...
"I am the happy helper, show me what to do ... "
Isaac watched me sweep the floor for a few times and now it's his turn.




Look at him! The mop is even taller than him..

I am the happy "Helper"

Andrew is trying to hang the curtain in Isaac's room. Look! Who is helping him?
Eunice looked at the screw driver and ask "What is these thing???"

I can't do it...

I give up... >_<

Isaac the Engineer

We have an engineer at home. Isaac is interested in "fixing" things at home. He found something interesting this time. The unpluged telephone!!!

First, he looked for the telephone line.

Yeah!! He found it...

Where is the plug?? Look for it!

Put the telephone line into the plug...

You did it!! Good job!!
[Haha!! After putting into the plug, he pulls the telephone line out again!]

All the best to Daisy....

Daisy went back to HK on Nov 5, 2006 and we went to the airport. Eunice was so excited and was running around with Isaac.
All the best to Daisy!!

Mouth Free!!? Thumb Free???!!

Remember that we had the last blog and said that Isaac likes to have thumb sucking. A few days after that blog, Isaac's thumb was bleeding a little bit. He would not be able to suck his thumb because of the pain. Then we kept on reminding him that it's hurt, it's painful, no more thumb sucking. He understood what we meant totally. If he wanted to go to sleep, he would hold the blanket only. While sleeping, sometimes his thumb will be put into the mouth and we keep removing out. About one week later, the habit was totally gone. Amazing!!! Thanks God for this easy way for us althought it may be hard for Isaac. Now Isaac is "thumb free".

Winner the Pooh and Caterpillar

Eunice's preschool had a dress-up party on Tuesday. We bought a cute little costume for her and she was so happy. Isaac had the Winner the Pooh outfit. At the preschool, all the kids were wearing different costumes and they were so funny and cute.

I am 18-month now...

If you familiar with Peanuts comic, you should come across with one of the character...Linus who always carries his 'security blanket'. Tell you a secret,our little Isaac is a big fan of Linus, can you tell??

Isaac is 18-month old now. He understands all the instructions that you say to him. He will point to the things that he wants. Grandmother requested a kiss from him one day but he refused to do it. After a while, grandmother gave him a piece of biscuit and asked for a kiss again. This time, he did it. Isaac will sit down quietly to read books or play toys or draw pictures or build blocks. Eunice was not like this when she was 18-month old. Their personalities are so different and unique.

The first week of School

Eunice has been attending the new preschool for a week. Starting from this Monday, she just cried for a little while. When she woke up in the morning, she would say "I want to go home" which she was at home. She would let me to dress her up. When I parked the van at the parking lot, she would say "I want to go home". When she arrived the preschool door, she would say "I want to go home". Even when she was in the school, she would say "I want to go home." What do you think my answer would be? I said,"OK! No problem, mama will bring you home when the school finish. You stay here with the teachers and I love you." Then I will kiss her goodbye and waved to her at the window. How long will she cry? Once I waved goodbye and got onto the van, she was almost stopped. The teacher told me that she had a great time at school yesterday playing the play kitchen.
Today when I picked her up at the school, she waved to all her classmates goodbye. She was so happy and talked to some of the kids. I think she enjoys the school very much.

Sleeping faces

I got a chance to take Isaac and Eunice's sleeping pictures. They are so cute and sweet. They look so alike.

A New Preschool for Eunice

Andrew and I decided to change a new preschool for Eunice after her eyes recovery. This is a bilingual preschool which use Cantonese and English. Actually Eunice enjoyed the Killarnery Community Centre Preschool (KCCP) but she couldn't communite with the teachers and the kids. One time Eunice tried to show off her art work to the teachers, so she ran around and looked for them. When Eunice tried to communicate with them, she just spoke in Cantonese. Although the teachers responded to her in a very nice way and said "Good job", Eunice seems to be not satisfied and then she showed the art work to me. Somehow, Eunice picked up some of the routines from the KCCP such as line up to the washroom, cross the legs while sitting down, clean up things.
[Eunice's last day at KCCP for her birthday party.]

After the Thanksgiving long weekend, Eunice went to the new preschool. She cried three days in a row. I talked to Eunice about the school whether she liked it or not. She would say "yes". I asked about the school life (drawing, teachers, writing, singing) and Eunice would tell me some of the interesting things that she experienced at school. Then you may ask, "Why she is crying at school?" The main reason was she wanted me to stay. I kept on telling her that Mama couldn't stay at school, only teachers and kids could stay at school. Mama would pick you up after school with Isaac. Well, it is a rough time for Eunice as she hasn't been separated from me for the last 3 years but she will learn fast. When I talked to some of the parents at the preschool, they have been gone through the same situation over and over and from time to time (kids was crying at school). They told me that don't worry about it as kids will settle down quicker than we expected.
[We set up a corner for Eunice just like school for her singing and story time.]

Happy 3rd Birthday to Eunice & Hannah

"How come the birthday cake is so different from the others?" Eunice and Hannah were wondering when they were looking at birthday cake. Grandmother made a lemon cheesecake birthday cake for Eunice and Hannah this year. They were looking at the lemon jello on top of the cake.


Eunice was trying to taste the lemon jello. You can tell she is really like the JELLO cake.

Isaac likes to read ...

Isaac likes reading a lot. He reads and thinks.

Eunice's eye surgery Recap

On Sept 25, 06, Eunice had the eye surgery at 7:45am. We had to arrive the Children's hospital at 6:30am. Andrew and I did not sleep well the day before. When we woke Eunice up at 5:30am, she said "so dark". She was excited at first when we arrived the hospital. See the picture.

Then she changed to hospital gown. Still happy!!!

After the surgery, Oh... It was so hard to take picture. She cried a lot.. Anyway, after a few days, she was happy again with her beautiful eyes.

First & Second Day of Preschool

Hi, Eunice went to the preschool on Sept 11. She was so excited and woke up at 6:00am on that day.







On her second day of school, she was even more excited. She had so many toys to play with and little Isaac also wanted to be part of them. Unfortunately he is not old enough yet.

Attending Wedding at QE Park

Am I petty? Isaac and I were attending a wedding party at QE Park. It was so beautiful and sunny. The flowers at Rose Garden were so nice. We took some pictures with the flowers. I loves going to wedding because I can wear petty dresses.

Hannah, Eunice and Desmond

Eunice had a lot of fun when her cousin Desmond visited her. So when Desmond had to go back to Toronto...Eunice was so sad..

Poor... Eunice

Poor Eunice has been sick for two days.... She has a 102 Deg F fever and the Tylenol does not really help her to lower the temperature. Flora brought her to children hospital this afternoon. And we found out that her fever is caused by an infection in her throat and mouth. So she has not eaten much for these two days...Just a bit or two... Nothing we can really do right now and hopefully she will get better soon..

Family Reunion

Last Monday the weather was so good. We decided to go to Gary Point Park for flying kite, blowing bubbles... Eunice, Isaac , Hannah, Coleman , Desmond had a very good time.
