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.

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.
