Last Weekend Just the Three of Us

That's My Boy!

 Nathan wants to use chopsticks when he sees us use them and he can actually pick up food with them. It's absolutely not easy for a two year old but we let him. He gets frustrated when he can't pick up food but won't give up. It gets messy but it's the necessary process. 
Many adults can pick up food with chopsticks but in a wrong way (fingers placed in wrong places thus can't control the chopsticks efficiently). 
My parents (especially my father, who was a retired soldier and a real martinet) were pretty strict about how we used chopsticks because it shows how a family educates their children so I can proudly say I use chopsticks correctly. 

Hat...?

Nathan insists he and Daddy wear diaper hats.

Obsessed

See You Next Year, Hanukkah!

Happy Hanukkah!

Another Audition

In the Elevater

Nathan said "兩個爸爸" (Two daddies) when he saw the reflection of his daddy in the mirror in the elevator and kept looking at the two daddies. :D 

pic taken last year...when can I get this body back???

Toddler Attitude!

"Duh!"   My friends say he's just like me funny and naughty and I'm like "Duh! He's my son, what do you expect?"  

☺️

Picnic

Dim Sum!

Scary Dolphin

Nathan pointed to a shark and said "Mama, scary dolphin". 

Hahahaha, ok, I know it's a scary dolphin. :) 

I Make Best Sandcake!

Change

Some friends told me your child can sense you're having a baby even though they're too young to understand and will become very attached to you and change their behavior.

Swing Fun

Figaro

I hope you are now in animal heaven playing happily. You can go find Terry. She's mysterious but a good kitty.  She looks like this:

Jump!

Buffet!!

Korean Food with Friends

Oh Boy!

Last night, after Nathan used the potty (yes, he's doing it!!! And I wanted to give him privacy so I left the bathroom) he said "Mama". I went in and saw this.

Why???????

Let's Draw!

Happy Halloween!

Nathan is obsessed with buses so I made him a bus based on a real bus company. It has his Chinese name on it. However, he doesn't want to wear the uniform we prepared so he just drove the bus nearly naked. I dressed up as a Taiwan redneck, which turned out to be very successful at the party. Jonathan's costume is pretty obvious, everybody liked it.

Biking

Look at that face!

Passion Fruit!

Nothing compares to the fragrance of passion fruit!!! Nathan loves it! 

New Pet!

Fun Day!!

Double Tenth

Oct 10 is Taiwan Independence Day so we have another three day weekend.

Note to David: We don't live in China (wink). 

!!

Found some video clips in my phone. Kind of creepy. He took those videos while I was sleeping!!!! 

Sick

It turns out our baby bear is sick. That's why he wanted to sleep with us. He had a fever last night but now he's better. Hope he gets well soon. 

A Two-Year-Old

This happened before bed last night. 

The lights were off. He was in bed. He asked for water and when the water was there he didn't want it. He made another request -he demanded a Band-Aid for the scratch on his foot and he didn't want it. 

Daddy: "ok, here's the Band-Aid."

Nathan: "我不要 Band-Aid" (I don't want Band-Aid) 

Daddy: "You said you wanted it. 

Nathan: "我不要"(I don't want it)

Daddy: "......"

Nathan cried "Mama, mama, mama..."

Mama: "What's wrong? Do you want to sleep with mama?"

Nathan: 我不要媽媽 (I don't want mama)

At last he came to bed with both of us, which rarely happens. Since he was very young, he always wanted his own space to sleep. Now he sleeps in his own room and is used to it but last night he wanted to come to our bed. 

It's very typical of a two-year-old to want something and then not want it. 

Imagine I'm speaking in a sweet loving voice. Just imagine it cuz you probably can't tell if you hear me in person. 

Friday!

This is how we feel about Fridays!

Busy Weekend

We had a three day weekend for Moon Festival so we went BBQing with friends and visited with my sister. Busy and fun!

Oh and then a strong typhoon came, so we had another day off!

One, Two, Free, Four, Five!

That Haircut Face

Baby bear's hair grows so fast...

Yom Kippur

Jonathan can't eat after the sun goes down today until tomorrow evening. Every year I ask the same question: " Will you be ok?"
