My Baby Brother - rewriting
My baby brother's name is Devin. He is 3 years old. Devin is a student in Preppie I at PPP school. His friends in Preppie I are Kathryn, Alan, Ryan, and Spoorty. On weekend, he spent most of the time outside playing.
Devin is very athletic. He plays basketball. He can bounce the ball for 5 minutes and probably shoot 9 out of 10. (That's pretty good for a 3-year old). He also plays soccer. He can dribble the ball well and is top3 is his soccer league. He plays baseball. He can his it off the T-stand easily and can probably get 8 out 10 in soft toss! In the playground, he can climb all the way up of the 2 1/2 meet net!
My baby brother is smart. He knows his colors, shapes, letters and numbers! Right now he is learning phonics. If we didn't help him, he could have done his 4-6 year workbook alone.
But sometimes, he is naughty. He always disturbs me on purpose, especially in the car. He also is naughty by walking up the slide. He always does that. One time he even got a cast form walking up the slide. He can be naughty by not sharing with his best friend Kathryn. When she has something, Devin says; "Share"! When he has it and his best friend want it, he says "Mine!"

Big Bang - Fact
The Big Bang was created out of nothing. How? The Big Bang is one of the greatest mystery in science. In the dawn of time the Big Bang changes nothing to everything. It was just a small ball of (just?) raging energy. It had everything in it. After that the universe started expanding. It was expanding so fast that it was faster than light. We need a new unit for that, don't we? It's called planktime.
The Universe was just a huge expanding ball of hot energy. It continues to expand. It's really hot, trillions of degrees. Then it cooled down, then the energy changed to tiny subatomic particles. It's the first matter. To understand that, E=MC2, While our universe was forming, it transformed energy to matter. The first subatomic matter was too unstable to create the universe. Gradually, they slowed down and become more stable.
You may think energy is great. But it created antimatter. Yes, antimatter, the opposite of matter. Equal amount of antimatter and matter cancel each other out. Not good, an universe with equal amounts of matter and antimatter is equal to an universe without matter at all. But antimatter loses.
The universe is still extremely hot and expanding itself. The particles in it were very different than the particles now. There were not atoms yet. Now all that stuff is cooling down and going slower. They start bonding together. The first element the made is hydrogen.
Then after 3 minutes, Helium and lithium form. But you couldn't see it. The universe was very cloudy. The Universe had to cool down for the elements to stick to new atoms. It took 380,000 years to do that.
NASA launches Cosmic Background Satellite but the pictures were fuzzy. So they launched another one. It gave us the most detailed picture of young universe ever seen.
After 1 billions years, the first galaxy forms.

Stars
Stars are balls of hot gases. These gases are hydrogen and helium. Stars are HUGE. The sun is a star. It can fit 1 million Earths in it. Atakareno is 100 billion times larger than the sun. Betelguase is 1,000 billion times larger than the sun. Uycnus-Majou is 1,000,000 billion times bigger than the sun. Stars are different colors. Blue is the hottest and brightest, yellow, second, red, third. Stars start as a cloud of dust called a Nebula. The gas inside swirls around. Can you guess what force makes the gas move? Guess! Guess! The force is gravity.
After a million years, all the gases form into a round ball . It is a brand new star. After several millions years, the star change from blue to yellow; after billions of years it changes from yellow to red. The the star dies. It may change to a white dwarf, supernova, hypernova, or a pulsar. What are those? We're just about to find out. A white dwarf is a small ball of ice. It is about the size of Earth. The sun will become a white dwarf. The comes supernova. It's when a giant star dies out. It creates a huge explosion and forms another nebula. A hypernova is when a humongous star dies and sets off Gamma Rays. It creates a black hole. A pulsar is created form the tiniest stars in the universe. They send radio waves back and forth. Why do stars dye? Well. stars die because they run on fuel just like fire. Its fuel type is nuclear energy. It smashes hydrogen atoms against hydrogen atoms it creates helium and released energy.

A season without baseball
This is my first time missing baseball season. Every time my mom asked me if I wanted to play again, I always said no because I haven't played in a long time. So I thought I was going to be bad at it. But when I went to my friend's house and played baseball in his backyard, I was better at batting than him. Then I felt more confident. My mom signed me up for the Tincaps in OCEE park. I notices that I was one of the Top 3 in my team. I can' wait for first game.

My first School Week
My first school week was great! Our new teach is Ms. Taylor. She used to be teacher in 3rd grade. Everyday she teaches us math strategies. Before she shows us something new she shows us an example. My first week we talked about bus safety. She gives us a sheet ans she asks why you shouldn't do something. That is a lot of fun to me. In math, we got to make our own flash cards and ask a partner to work with his or her flash cards. I don't know how the specials are, but I only have gone to PE and music so far. In lunch you have to wait for everybody to come then you can sit down and eat. After recess we work on writing personal narratives. After that we work on incomplete work. Then it is time for dismissal. This year you have to go to different classed and dismiss. That way we can all go at the same time. That is my first week of school.

My Baby Broth- July 23, 2012
My baby brother is 3 years old. He is very cute. He always doesn't like to eat. He always says I want seven because his name is Devin. He makes our house very messy because he throws toys around and I am very tired. He hates to take nap so I have to take care of him on Saturday. I usually go to playdates on Sunday. He is awesome. My moms sent him to PPP daycare when he was 2. He was in Toddler 2 at that time. Now he is Preppie 1. He loves birthday parties because there are candles. His favorite TV show is "Wonder Pet"; it use to be "Curious George". We want him sleep by himself because he is 3, but he cries in the dark. We just came back from China and during the trip we had skype and my brother was like I want to go there, I want to go there. I love my brother even though sometimes he is naughty.

Can we live together?
Alex和他的的双胞胎好朋友Alan真的是好得可以穿一条裤子了.他们在一起的情形时间绝对比跟自己的爸爸妈妈在一起的时间长.
周一到周五 一起上蒙校: 9:00 - 3:00 6个小时； 一起
上AS: 3:00- 6:00 3个小时。
周末一起打棒球, 踢足球,打网球, 参加合唱团的练习演出;
一起参加朋友们的生日派对;时不时还有周末playdate一下,每次playdate结束的时候都是难分难舍,10次有10次半都是用暴力将他俩分开.
昨天,周日, Alan来我们家玩.
玩到尽兴中, Alan严肃认真的问我：when we grow up, can Alex and I live together?
我和他妈妈稍为为这两位的性取向忧虑了一下下。

蒙式一周记
正如某著名网络妈妈所言：养孩子完全就是哲学问题。蒙还是不蒙做为一个哲学问题折磨了偶很久了。 也曾不厌其烦的在网上征询资深爸妈的意见，其中也下过不去蒙了的决心，但每次大院的其他妈妈得知我们在KB混时， 一般的唯一反应是：花那么多滴钱， 你们为啥不去蒙呢？ 嗯， 虽然我狠啊Q, 但是当冤大头的感觉并不是很好。期间还被家有上私立高中的绝对资深爸爸苦口婆心劝送蒙式：他家女儿因为小时候没有送蒙式， 后来初中高中不得不送昂贵的私立.............无论如何， 蒙还是不蒙是一个让人抓心挠肺的哲学问题...........
KB在暑期陷入混乱， 我们具体细节并不知道， 当我们闻道一点风声时， 很多家长都在将小朋友转走。我们虽然也曾趁着上游泳课， 真真假假去看了游泳俱乐部旁的一家学校， （便宜，但真的不尽人意）， 但我还是对KB抱着一丝不见黄河不死心的希望， 希望我们能在那混到pre-K., 所以我也就没真心给找学校。
好了， 废话了一箩筐。 某天， 终于见到黄河了：KB的校长不知所终了-我们也终于死心了。
即便这样， 我也是趁着某早我有个doctor appointment， 顺便去了这所被我几次考察， 在我上班路上的唯儿的学校， 当然是一所我们这的妈妈众口夸赞推崇的蒙式。
意料之中， 被告知 没有full day program spot. 那天正好是学校新学期orientation, director and assistant director无比繁忙， 喘口气的间隙还要听我诚恳地jjww, 诉说full day program对我家的必要性。 期间director多次暗示：如果我们先 enroll half day， 一到 两个星期就很有可能会给我们full day program spot. 我又及其诚恳的和她们讨论了这个方案的可行性...........
简而言之， 我就这么抓心挠肺滴去上了班， 开车的时候大脑飞速的转出一千种都不太妥的方案。
俗话说：船到桥头自然直， 俗话还说：峰回路转；俗话还说啥来着.........反正就在我在办公室千愁白转的时候， director电我：one full day program spot available. oh yeah~~~~~~
次日面试也是出奇的顺利， red class的Ms. Susan 完全符合我心目中西方旧时小学老师的形象：一袭长裙，满头白发盘成一个发髻，慈祥亲和， 声音低沉缓慢。 豆豆跟她也是很有chemistry, 一对一的 面试居然没有问题。
好了， 言归正传。 崔弋洲， 学名Alex Cui， 于本周一成为蒙式红班的一员。
经过周末三天持续温和的吹风和带高帽子， 周一的drop off出奇的顺利， 小人第一个到教室， 神情有些紧张警惕， 但是和妈妈 爽快的hug kiss, 挥手good bye. 下午pick up时，居然接到的是一个无比refresh, energetic 的小朋友。 接到之后的一个半小时， 其人充分发挥了话痨的天分， 事无巨细的回报了“蒙式一日”：“I has snack with a brown girl." "The girl asked me: you know my name right? but I don't know her name." "I saw Edward, but he likes other kids." "Ms. Susan read us a story: a doggie go to school, and you know what? The doggie get on the school bus." "There are two swings outside, but nobody pushes me." " I had brokley for lunch, I sat here and Ms. Susan sat there, she is hungry too and ate lunch too." "我们点蜡烛吃饭， 吃饭我还这样clean up." "m make sound emmmmm, emm for museum, for music, for milk, and I can write m, like this; C say Ke~~, for car, cup and cat, and I know how to write c..........."
第一天之后， 我就知道虽然老妈子我份不喜欢那个后妈校长， 但我喜不喜欢有打什么紧呢？ 对于豆豆， 这个学校和这个班绝对是perfect match.
第二天呢， 除了drop off的时候， 跟妈妈jjww 了10分钟， 之外， 除了今天是 ducky go to school 外， 除了has snack with a black girl, 除了one big boy was put on time out外， 除了学了更多的phonic外， 一切如常。
第三天的drop off 又是无比的愉快， 因为前一天晚上临睡前， 小朋友自己自觉的反省了自己不尽如意的drop off 行为， 保证第二天会let mom go to work. 果然愉快的实践了自己的诺言。
晚上家长会， Ms. Susan的评价是：Alex is like a sponge, he is always busy and occupied, like a work bee, he is shy, quiet and always pleasant, a perfect start in the class. 虽然我也只到鬼子的文化， 对孩子的夸奖是绝对不吝华美辞藻的。 但这次， I somehow buy Ms. Susan's commence on the kiddo.
I was amazed by what the kiddo learned in three days, 但是不出所料， 问他有没有make new friends, "no, I have one friend: Stanley." 当我和老师道出我有忧虑， 老师说：you have to know you child is your child, he will probably be never a politician.
但是但是， 当星期五豆豆在晚餐的餐桌上表达了四岁 要生日party， 要邀请朋友们来我们家的时， 他他居然一口气数出了他们班上6个小朋友的名字!!
PS 我们去蒙式的另外一个效果就是， KB原来班上的中国孩子全转到蒙式的同一个班了， 常和豆豆一起玩的一个小哥们也去了half day program.

不合格的爸爸---给豆豆 -by daddy
真是惭愧，豆豆你已经快三岁半了，爸爸居然从没有为你写过一篇blog。 爸爸是个比较没心没肺的人，可是这两年来的负疚感日积月累，还是让爸爸难以再麻木下去。今天晚上面对着桌子上你和妈妈的照片，爸爸的孤独感突然无比强烈， 一定要记下这一刻的感受，爸爸不知道什么时候能让你看这篇东西，但是希望你能看懂这些文字的时候，能够做一个比爸爸成熟的男人。
你对爸爸的感觉已经越来越浅了，虽然爸爸每次回家你很兴奋，陪你玩汽车给你画飞机你还是很高兴，也像所有崇拜daddy的男孩一样敬仰地看爸爸换灯泡，可是每次你伤心害怕的时候首先扑向的还是妈妈，晚上一定要妈妈给你唱歌哄你睡觉，生气的时候把气撒到妈妈身上。 虽然妈妈尽力去弥补爸爸不在身边的父爱缺失，去刻意营造爸爸妈妈同样爱你的气氛，但你是个聪明敏感的宝宝，在你逻辑能力不全但是已经形成性格的小脑袋里，你已经本能的明白---只有妈妈最靠得住，爸爸的亲情只能靠baby时留下的模糊记忆和血缘本能来维持了，爸爸最怀念的就是你还睡在小床里的时候，晚上只有爸爸才可以哄你睡觉，长亭外古道边，小星星，你的favorite催眠曲，如果爸爸一直在你身边，至少你的音乐细胞会让妈妈五音不全的嗓子少破坏几个，现在看来我们家的钢琴很有可能not for you了。虽然你不讲理生蛮气还打人的时候很烦人，可是爸爸多希望你的小拳头是落到爸爸身上啊。
爸爸后悔当初做出那个决定，虽然对妈妈一直嘴硬，可实际上你在芝加哥上飞机的那一刹那，爸爸已经第一次后悔了。爸爸永远忘不了王奶奶抱你上飞机的那一刻，爸爸在登机口停止脚步，你看爸爸的眼神：怀疑，不解，失望，为什么爸爸不跟我来？ 那 一刹那爸爸读懂了你的眼神，第一次后悔那个决定。同时，旁边一个阿姨说“怎么爸爸不一起走？”，话里明显的责问让爸爸羞愧得无以复加。豆豆，你那个眼神是 爸爸一生的愧疚，以后给你再多的爱也不能弥补那一刻对你的伤害，如果让现在的爸爸再去面对那个眼神，爸爸不会再承受得了。
豆豆，等爸爸再和你在一起的时候，和你说每一句话都会看着你的眼睛，爸爸要把你失去的信任一点一点再补回去。
豆豆爸对豆豆相貌的忧虑 -by daddy
人所共知豆豆爸丢下老婆孩子去了Buffalo，可是豆豆和豆豆妈从没去过Buffalo，为了证明豆豆爸的已婚男兼老爸身份，豆豆爸在桌子上摆了臭小子以及孩儿他妈照片，以防未婚大龄女青年的骚扰。如果有客来拜，按照惯例，看见小孩照片应该夸这小子如何英俊，哄豆豆爸高兴一下，可是10次里有7次敌人先说的是“你老婆很漂亮”或者“你老婆这么年轻”，然后用异样的目光看一眼我这个老loser，含义不辩自明，这种时候我一般先不吭气面露揾色，然后敌人意识到失言，一般会赶快补救“你儿子也很可爱”。但是也经常有没脸色的人，再补一句更不像话的，“你儿子不像你们俩”。
都 说南北结合会综合父母的优势，豆豆的相貌无情地粉碎了这一偏见。当豆豆混迹于一帮同龄人当中活蹦乱跳的时候，豆豆妈总是觉得豆豆是长得最可爱的，别的小朋 友即使长得比我们豆豆好看，也总是有这样那样的缺点。幸亏豆豆爸很理性，能够跳出“儿子是自己的好”的狭隘观念，以一个局外人的目光审视豆豆：眼睛像爸爸 （小眼），鼻子像妈妈（塌鼻子），身材像外公（五短），越看越伤心。如果要给相貌打分，豆豆爸和豆豆妈的平均分应该有70， because 70=(55+85)/2， 可是要把豆豆扔到主席台上请观众打分的话，凭良心讲，很难保证他能超过爸妈的平均分。虽然豆豆妈和豆豆爸经常自我安慰“男孩子看的不是长相”，其实心里很 明白，事业有成靠的是豆豆自己，而且可操纵，相貌却是授之父母，豆豆有劲没处使呀。所以在娶媳妇的竞争中，豆豆从一开始就落后于别人了。按说豆豆家三代以 内直系亲属中，也有长得不难看的，比如豆豆爷爷，年轻时也勉强算一帅哥。豆豆爸很自责，也很迷茫，问题出在哪里呢？
妹妹
最近几天，小朋友进化到直接淋浴了。（效率非常高，最多5分钟就搞定！）
某天，淋浴完，我给他擦干， 小人洋洋得意的指着前天还在用的浴缸
“我big boy乐，我不用浴缸了，你生个妹妹，给她用（浴缸）。”
"宝宝真棒，要和妹妹share浴缸。”
“我把妹妹放在我的黄包车（stroller)里，我自己推她去玩。”
“我每天晚上都陪妹妹睡觉。”
“那豆豆的爸爸妈妈也是妹妹的爸爸妈妈哦！你可以和妹妹share爸爸妈妈吗？”
沉思就一下下，小朋友迅速对答：
“那我帮妹妹找个妈妈吧。”
“不可以的呀，只有宝宝的妈妈才可以是妹妹的妈妈。”
小人迅即接受了这个事实：
“哇！！妈妈那你要抱两个宝贝了！！”
写于7月31号，串到另外一个blog 去了
注：有关人士就不要机关枪了，老二还没影呢

Summer -reading
已经在家游手好闲了两星期了。因为外婆外公在这里，学校里有又新出台的政策，决定夏天就在家里混了。既可以省几千刀，又可以美名其曰“多陪陪外婆外公”，一举两得一石两鸟， 虽然我前一阵还在四处宣扬上幼儿园的好处，屈于金钱方便的诱惑，我也就从了。
游手好闲两个星期的直接后果就是睡觉越睡越晚，从上床到入睡的时间越来越长，昨天，我10点伺寝完毕，到11：30 后才睡着，更怒的是其间小人起来查岗8次，最后我忍无可忍，怒火中烧，不得已要挟小朋友“自己下去关小黑屋”，才将小朋友镇压下去。
今天早上坐在办公室里加班，痛定思痛，对小朋友最近反常睡觉习惯作了深刻细致科学合理的研究分析，得出了“小朋友在家太太闲了”的伟大结论！！在家里就是和外婆外公打打闹闹，看看DVD,
一不读书，二不学习文化知识，三不进行文艺绘画活动，除了周二周四去上半个小时的游泳课外，四不从事体育锻炼。
当当当， 我打着加班的名义，在办公室里制定了夏天折磨小人的周密计划，以消耗小人体力脑力为手段，以小人9点就倒下， 倒下就着为目标！
现在终于说到正题廖，先是看看有什么书可以读。嗯，就从这个“if you give a mouse a....."系列开始吧。
读书报告随后跟进。

读书报告随后跟进。

不蒙了
决定不蒙了。
今天早上有doctor appointment, 就顺便拐到那家蒙式看了一下，观察了1个小时不让进去，就扒门和窗看了看，挺像大家买描述的typical 蒙式，不同年级的小孩，maximum 24 kids/class, 两个老师，去的时候正式work time, 都各自为阵，各作个的，老师单独辅导一个小孩。
但还是决定不去了。24个小孩中，有2， 3 个white kids, 2-3 个black kids, 剩下的名额就被印度宝和亚洲宝平分了。 在他们work time, 也有很多小孩东有西诳，游手好闲。
还有那个director长得太不讨人喜欢了，像白雪公主的后妈。(灰姑娘的后妈也适用）
豆豆现在学校的班上，full time + part time kids 9 个， 一个black kid, 一个中国宝（我家豆豆），一个hispanic kid, 剩下的好象都是white kids。
就算我歧视吧。

蒙还是不蒙呢？
本来今天早上在心里决定就留在这个学校了，不蒙了。看到大家一讨论，我心里有活泛了。
当然直接intrigue是我爸妈能过了乐，对学校能多一些选择性了。
去年考察学校的时候，就去看了这家蒙式，就在豆豆现在上学的附近。虽然当时把他放在waiting list上了，但是我其实没有seriously consider. 不提供早饭，下午pick up before 6, 这些对我这个technically single mom都是致命的缺点。
4月底爸妈就能过来了，我心里开始蠢蠢欲动了。
先说说豆豆现在学校的优势吧。
之一 环境很熟了，交了不少朋友了，He is comfortable and happy most time. 因为豆豆也是个满热敏感的孩子，当年这social life and interactions with other kids 曾是我的major concern, 我一度怀疑他有autism, 好了，现在好了，好朋友遍布preschool-1, 2 and even 3. 当和老师开家长会时，老师说“alex is lovable and everyone loves him." 我很不好意思地承认我当时眼圈湿了。 可是这是娃上了半年学才取得的辉煌成果呀！
之二：这个学校有Goergia pre-K program, 这就意味着明年秋天，我们可以自动的enroll 到这个progrm, 8：00-2：30是免费的，可以省不少钱哦。如果不是这个学校的宝，据说要排队报名， 很难排到。
之三：也教点东西的。 比如这两周是讲春天，上两周是讲insects and spider. 比如豆豆好像认得所有大下写的字母，认识很多shape, etc.
之四：有些外边的program来给上课，比如豆豆周一上sooccer ($40/month), 周三上gym bus (35$?month), 好像还有西班牙语课，小姑娘很多都在上芭蕾课。
缺点呢，贵呀(253/week), 去年换了director后，老师流失很严重（感觉走了70%的老师），不fancy亚。
这个蒙式还没有去上，所以优缺点说不出个一二三来，直至到附近好几个家长排到自己了，就从我们现在这个学校转去了。上次碰到一个5岁宝的妈说：这个就是教的好，孩子可爱读书了。

乱记几见小事
好久不写了, 就胡乱记记.
1. 适合做外交官
某个星期六米饭不够了, 爸爸从冰箱里来了块面包吃. 热爱面包的豆豆认真的盯着爸爸手里的面包看了有一分来钟, 张口问"爸爸你的面包是好的吗? 没坏吧?" 爸爸答"没坏呀!" 豆豆迟疑了片刻"爸爸能让豆豆尝一口吗?" "你是想吃toast 加butter吗?" 我在一旁问. 被洞察了意图那一刻, 豆豆眉开眼笑!
第二天再让爸爸晚饭拿了块面包实验, 其人问的更加的迂回曲折.
"爸爸, 你的面包是凉的, 没考吧?"
"是呀."
"抹了butter吗?"
"没呢?"
"那好吃吗?"
我在一旁实在忍俊不住:"你是不是想吃toast 加butter呢?"
2. "豆豆"
某日drop off之际, 因为豆豆他们班还在pre-school 2的教室, 小朋友很不爽, jjww不想进去. 突然一个小胖从门里跳出来, 大喊"豆豆~~~~~~~~~". 然后两个小朋友对着大笑, 互相pat对方.
可是这个印度小胖怎么知道我们叫豆豆的呢?
3. 病
10月才过半, 已经感冒三次了, sigh~~~~~~~~~~可以预见这个冬天战斗的严峻考验性.
4. 凌晨
因为妈妈有那么几天要上早上8点的课, 我们天还黑着就出门了. 第一次豆豆问: 是晚上吧? 天黑着了! 第二次就有经验了, 坐在车上自言子语: 哦, 一会天就亮了.

second day in daycare
Wendesday, May 30, 2007
早上起来一切都很正常，坐在马桶上拉臭臭，一如既往的啰嗦：“妈妈给豆豆加油！” “灯灯也给豆豆加油！” “抽风机也给豆豆加油！” “现在是白天，就怎样了呢？”妈妈睡眼惺忪，心不在焉的“就天亮了。” “对了，白天就天亮了，我们就起床了；晚上天黑了，我们就睡觉了。” 拉完臭臭，和爸爸一起刷牙洗脸抹香香， 趁妈妈在楼上涂涂抹抹，换衣服功夫，喝了一瓶奶，妈妈下楼时，和爸爸罗嗦的正欢了，和爸爸妈妈一起吃了大半块“软软面包＂ （其实就是toast-自从回家第二天吐得一塌糊涂，两天只给他吃toast后，就爱上了这个东西，每顿必吃）
悲悲切切源自妈妈正在给他装要带去托儿所的东西，昨天老师对他带一个truck， 还是一个会发声的truck提意见了，妈妈就问他要带哪一只熊熊去学校，其人就开始哭哭啼啼起来，腻在妈妈身上要求上楼睡觉，我强忍着笑问：“你说了天亮了，白天了就起床了，晚上天黑才睡觉的呀？”小人想了想，好像妈妈有道理耶，索性就不讲道理唧歪起来：“妈妈抱着豆豆走一走～～～～～” 不得不强行将哭啼的小同学绑在了车坐椅上，不过他爸爸说，车开出来，作为忠实车迷，看到马路上无其多的车，眼泪还挂在脸上，就停止了哭。
到了教室后，给MS. Rozeta演示了如何让Alex 小便后（显然其人对老师让他坐着小便很愤怒），小同学就放声痛哭起来，因为昨天drop off 其人要求“回家，我们回家去！”，妈妈告诉他家里没人，爸爸妈妈要上班去了，小同学在妈妈怀里叫“我们出去我们出去我们出去！” 当妈妈再次强调“爸爸妈妈要上班，豆豆在这里和rozeta在一起”时，他很认命滴，号啕大哭滴，伸开双手扑向了MS. Rozeta.
我和老公一起在vedio camera里看了１０来分钟，小人就一直悲切的站在门边哭。
我１０：１０AM打电话， 老师说还在哭呢。
下午老公去偷窥了几回， 但狠不得要领，也没看出个所以然。我呢，不好意思老骚扰老师，也没打电话。
当3：30AM, 我把常去的几个网站看得都要呕吐时，跟劳工请求回去接豆豆，惨遭拒绝后，又无比郁闷得无所事事了30分钟，4点钟出发了。
和老公在门口会和后，一进daycare 的大门，就有老师喊： 你们是alex的父母吧？我们吓的忙不迭回答：是呀是呀， 怎们啦？“Alex今天下午居然没哭耶，还吃了点东西了。”这个我们显然不认识的老师激动的汇报 （可见我们这一天半的哭是多么闻名遐迩呀！）正说着了，看到Ms. rozeta 拉着一车的宝们在走廊里散步呢，我们家豆豆迷茫地坐在最边上，开始还没看到我们。当在看到我们的那一刻，立刻就瘪着嘴开始哭-但这个时候我已经觉得有点好笑了。
老师激动的回报：下午喝了也吃了，还peeed and pooed in potty 乐； 只在nap time 给他带diaper 乐。让我们再带两套衣服来。
然后我们就hug and kiss Ms. Rozeta, 小人也不哭了，和一车的小朋友再见，还很concern得问“他们散完步干嘛去呢？”
回家游泳了，坏妈妈特定让他掉到水里，喝了一口水，hoho

Firast day in daycare
这是Alex同学第三天正式上学了。前两天他很绝望悲惨，我也无心工作，今天貌似有些转机，我赶紧写下这几天的经历，以便日后每天Alex无限欣喜地去上学的时候，留下证据嘲笑他和我。
上周五去试了一个半天，可能是时间太短，接下来又是memorial day 的长周末，小同学还没有意识到上学问题的严峻性， 每每当我们问他喜不喜欢学校，喜不喜欢Ms. Rozeta时，都作无限欣喜状，还信誓旦旦的说上学再也不哭了。可是这个星期而当我们离开的时候，号啕大哭，悲惨得让我们觉送他上幼儿园真实世上最惨无人道的事，让我再次对both parent working的合理性产生怀疑。 Alex小同学站在门边持之以恒地哭了几乎一整天，滴水滴米未进，拒绝和老师去上厕所，老师不得不给他戴上了他痛恨的diaper, 但奇迹般是中午居然睡了一个小时。下午三点多去接他时，在离教室门最近的playground迷茫悲伤的游荡，从门上的玻璃看到我之后，瘪了瘪嘴就哇哇大哭，眼泪哗哗的流，那个委屈哦，那个对妈妈的幽怨哦，真是馨竹难书。然后又看到小人得上嘴唇肿了，一问老师，然来是让他坐小马桶尿尿，不从，从上面摔下来了。因为不喝水，老师怕他缺水，朝他的头上泼了一些水。所以妈妈怀抱着一个双眼肿肿，嘴唇肿肿，头上湿嗒嗒的小人时，又动了要请nanny的念头。回到家后，又渴又饿的小同学吃吃喝喝，精神还不错。
但后来要打电话给外婆外公时，坚决不让，问是不是因为今天不是好孩子，不想让爷爷奶奶知道，小人羞愧地说是。
第一天full time daycare life的真正后遗症是：１晚上躺在床上抱怨睡不着．（小人哼哼唧唧：睡不醒，可能因为以前从来没有睡不着的问题，妈妈于是问是不是睡不着时，就一直whine ：豆豆睡不着～～～～～～～～～～～）２ 晚上尿了一次床 （自从晚上脱尿布以来还没尿过床了）。
