安琪, 安杰 與安廷的成長日記

姐姐去上課，安杰成了小跟班。兩個小時的時間不知道是趁機和爸爸培養感情亦或是被狠削一頓，完全不得而知。這個星期好像還不錯，至少爸爸假裝送給安杰足夠的氣球帶他飛上天！瞧他得意的笑臉，好像真的握住了這麼一大堆的氣球哩！

Growing Pains 是個新鮮的名詞，是個我付了保險co-pay 學到的新鮮事
前天晚上我很晚才睡。才睡下不久安杰就哭了。以為他做惡夢哄一哄就沒事了。可惜完全不是這麼一回事。

Below is the article I found on the Internet.  I cannot find the original post but there are many websites/blog referring this article.  I guess it's alright with the author for me to post it here......
I totally related to the last paragraph about "亞斯柏格症兒童的情感相當豐沛......"  Andrew has always been very sensitive with almost anything.... Although he doesn't show all the symptoms listed in the article, but with his social skills, I cannot stop thinking about maybe he is a 亞斯柏格症兒童?!

Playing with water = Getting strawberry ready for us to eat?  That's not what I think, but Andrew.  He begged me to let him washing strawberries we just bought this afternoon.  While it's something I see it as a chore, he seems to enjoy it so much.  So, I took some pictures to remind him later in the years when he rejects to do household chores that he ONCE enjoyed it a lot.  Hopefully.... he will continue his passion on doing chores......

Andrew's preschool had a Thanksgiving luncheon to celebrate Thanksgiving.  It's a simple lunch but fun way to see Andrew and having lunch with him.  Kids were having turkey sandwich and even parents got something to eat this time.  I was starving last time when they had their "tea party" in October.  Their main decoration for Thanksgiving is the hand prints (as little turkeys) from each class hanging from the celing.  I was able to find Andrew's little hand print.  His little hand doesn't seems to be too little compared to other kids.  After reading the words, I couldn't help laughing.  This is what he said.... "I am thankful for balloons.....".  Really? I wonder what is so special about balloons??  HAHA!! 

On our way back home, I noticed that Andrew was staring at the sun for a while.  I wasn’t sure what he is looking.  He looked very curious seems like he is try to find something in the sun.  In my mind, I was wondering if I should stop him because I would think the bright sunshine was probably hurting his eyes.  With the thought in my mind, I wasn’t even paying attention when he was talking to me until he raised his voice.  I asked him to repeat and this is what he said:  “Mom, it’s MONEY!”  After a second, I realized that he was referring to the sun.  Aha!! He was staring at the sun to find out what is really behind the shinny lights.  Didn’t everybody including me had told him that the sun is round?  We drew the sun in a circle all the time, right?  ….  I guess he just has to find that out himself.  He finally stopped looking straight into the sun and murmured:  “It’s a quarter…..”

Cousin Rose came to visit and kids were so delighted to see her.  Andrew first was hestitated to talk to her, but then he was totally opened up to chat. 

The official definition for a bagel is a firm doughnut-shaped roll traditionally made by boiling and then baking.  According to Andrew, a bagel is.......

這是一個三十年的老把戲了。等等:這兩個完全沒有意義甚至聽來令人失笑的音,還滿受我們青睞。三十年前,我們三姐妹被老媽唬得團團轉。三十年後的今天,我的寶貝同樣也被我弄得昏頭轉向的。看來"代溝"'在這麼大的小孩中間並沒有太嚴重嘛!

PS: Just want to note that while we were recording, Austin was stealing the food for our god fish and ran away....... hahahaha

 We finally registered Andrew to the Tiny Tot program in Diamond Bar.  He has been envy Angie for her been able to go to school.  The idea of "going to school" seems equal to "having special privilege" to him.  He wants to prove to everyone he knows that he is a big boy by being able to go to school like his older sister. 

安杰每天非常不甘願睡覺,不到十一點不上床.上了床,還要聊天外帶唱歌

Andrew's babysitter had their Halloween party early.  When I got there (after picking up Angie), the party was almost over.  I was sooooo thrilled with the food available, I didn't bother taking any picture for the kids.  Since Melody and Joanne are so kind to share their pictures with me.  Here are some pictures I got from them:                            

 知道什麼是"好兩塊"嗎? 

帶安杰上樓洗澡,沒甚麼大不了. 可是這個愛哭鬼就是輸不起. 不但愛哭還耍詐!!

就昨天. 帶安杰上樓洗澡. 走著走著 慢吞吞的小人跟不上又哭了. 我只好站在樓梯口等他. 他邊哭邊走邊叫:"這個沒有到!!"  孝順的媽媽心想,可能是這個機車男看到我沒有踩到那一階,又在龜毛了. 這還不簡單,就下去踩一下就是了. 但是覺得怪怪的. 因為我並沒有skip step的習慣,怎麼會沒有踩到那一階呢? 說時遲那時快,小鬼看我走下去了,就休的跑了上樓. 踩在樓上的同時,舉起雙手大叫: "I WON!!" (我贏了) 才知道我中了這個剛滿三歲的小鬼的計. 好想哭!!

有點惡心但是也有點好笑

媽媽上網﹐安杰在旁邊看﹒

原來﹐他是說這個………

媽媽笑到肚子痛!!

安琪和安杰今天發現了新玩具. 兩個人一個在媽媽電腦旁邊拿媽媽的麥克風,一個拿SKYPE無線電話互相打電話. 就在隔壁兩個居然可以聊天.一開始互相問候,再來聊天氣,不但把在中文學校背的唐詩拿出來唸,最後還拿麥克風唱歌.真是不知應不應該說他們的想像力豐富亦或…..窮極無聊.

安杰愛死了超人﹒任何 hero figures 對他來說都是超人﹒ 舉凡 Superman, Spiderman, Power Ranger......都一概是超人

小傢伙咬字不清楚﹒每次喊 Superman 都像是 Super-麵.  爸爸甚至笑他在要湯麵 (Soup-N-麵)

偶爾我也會想到他另一個和麵有關的笑話﹒

琪琪現在開口閉口都是ABC. 尤其是和弟弟說話的時候﹒常常把不會說英文的安杰搞的一楞一愣的﹒但弟弟也不是省油的燈﹒越來越有ABC的架勢﹒尤其是跟在姐姐屁股後面大喊 "Oh! Man!" 的時候﹐的確滿搞笑的﹒因為他每次喊 "Oh! Man!" 都像是 "Oh! 麵!" 媽媽都很想跟著叫 "Oh! 飯!" 

人家都說女兒是爸爸上輩子的情人﹒那兒子總該是媽媽上輩子的情人吧﹗所以我每次都管我兩個兒子叫情人﹒小情人不會說話﹐但是每一看到媽媽就手舞足蹈﹐已經讓媽媽心花怒放﹒大情人話多得不得了﹐自是逗得媽媽笑得東到西歪﹒

話說媽媽現在在學縫製布尿布﹒不肖說﹐手不靈活的媽媽可是累殘了﹒趁布店減價時買的布﹐原本是給安廷做尿布的﹐卻被安杰盯上了﹒每天晚上抱著這塊布睡覺﹒媽媽腦筋一動﹐替他做了個枕頭套﹐讓他名正言順地抱著它睡覺﹒

好不容易做好了﹐小傢伙也很開心﹒得意的媽媽自然就要問他喜不喜歡新枕頭套﹒只見小傢伙喃喃念︰“新﹐新﹐新……”突然說︰“媽媽辛苦﹐媽媽辛苦做的………”害媽媽愣了半晌﹐一直感動到現在
