August 2009

It is end of summer now...

My favorite son, Little H is getting older and wiser and of cause mischiviouse... Latest his fun is to paint on the wall. I made him clean up after his own mess. He thought it was the funest thing when he cleaned the first time. So he decided to paint more.... Second time, it was not as fun as he thought... Yeap, still I made him clean up with my hand holding his.

Since he was young, he loves water. Now days, he can say water and everything liquid is "water". I have been trying to teach him milk but no good luck yet. Not only he likes to drink it, and also he likes to play with.

His favorite person is... of cause his dad. He gets so excited to see his dad home and play with him. A few days ago, he got a new sunglasses like dad. He makes sure to wear it when he goes out. It is still little too big but he loves it.




Little H started to realise play ground equipment can be fun to play with. Here is some good smiling face of him.



My angel, shii chan, she is growing so fast. She still loves to sleep in my arm more than by herself. I started to train her to sleep schedule meaning to sleep same time every day. She is learning...



Now, she can roll over. She rolled over last Tuesday the first time. Next day, I and Little H witness her roll over. Supportive brother Little H gave her a big apluse. Look she can hold her head so high and long time now.




She is our little angel and her smiles melt our heart every day.










Shii chan loves her daddy like her brother. I wonder why dad gets a very special treatment from kids. Mom gets tumtrum all the time. Hunnnn...




I love my kids and they make me laugh, make me smiles and of cause make me stress out sometime too. hahaha...

Fun in the Sun

Summer in UT is a short time. Little H enjoys a sun. We went to a park the other day.

Head's up

Our Shii chan is growing so fast and now she can raise her head really well. She doesn't like it much to be on her stomach but she is hanging there.
This past 3 days, she learned to grab things really well. Now, her clothing is wide open and she is showing her big tummy with a full of milk

Our little H, he is a good eater. He loves broccoli and spinach. His favorite thing to eat???? Okra and Natto. He is not a big fun of carrots for some reasons..

Little H is learning a lot of words lately and also a lot of things. He learned to carry his stuffed animal in his shirt from his dad a while ago. Now, he can put the dog by himself in his shirt.




I love my kids.

my son, my daughter and my thoughts

Well, I was hoping that my daughter goes to sleep so that I can sleep too.

Since I had a little time in my hand till she goes to sleep,(yes, I am rocking her with my feet... She is in bassinet that rocks)I thought I write a little...

Time flies by... My life has been changed a lot since I had my first son. Now, with two kids, even more change in my life. Great change. I would never exchange for anything. They are cute and they are so precious. Yep, they are handful.

I often wonder how I can show them how much I love them. Life is hard enough just to live. If only one thing I can teach them, I would like them to know how much I love them. I mean if I were great LDS woman, then I may need to say to teach them faith, Heavenly Father, Gospel so on... Well, as some of you know how selfish I am, what I want them to know is how much I love them...

It seem like never enough to show them love. I feel like I scowled at little H more than I show him love... I feel like I keep saying "You need to stop that. you need to listen mom. Do not...." more than "I love you."

yea, it is important to teach them a good manner and moral and all. But if someone knows they are loved, that gives them a power.

Well, I guess I am not a perfect mom.

In my nightly prayer, there are a lot of repentance every night. There are many I wish I handled better the situation with little H...

Trying every day to be a better mother... When I learn or master how to handle little one, it may be a too late. But what can I do? I do not have a perfect manual or answer how to raise a child.

Well, people say, scripture. True. But everyday little things get me and do not have enough time to think about it till nightly prayer.... yea, my life gets to be filled with changing diapper and feeding.... I know there is no excuse. I know there is no BUT. However, when I hear baby cries and little H called for "ka (it means mom)", I often cannot hear anything else....

I feel bad that they have to put up with mom like me. But you know they came to me so they must have a strength to endure me, right? hahaha

I love them more than anyone. Well, I love you, my husband!!! so no worry.

I am just bubbling so there is no point to this entry...

When I gave a birth, I was amazed myself and life itself. Since I did not use any medication (meaning natural), I was very much awear what was going on... I felt their energy and eagerness to come to this world. I saw and felt they knew what they were supposed to do.... I mean I did not teach them but they knew how to come this world...

They probably already know what right things are like they knew how to come to this world.... But like all of us, we get distracted.... So I guess my job is to guide them to right path...

The responsibility seems so big and I wonder I am qualify for it.... But I guess it is too late to back off. haha.

Even though it seems so hard sometime, it always ends with how happy I am to have these two children. I cannot thank enough to have them in my life.

If I were younger (let's say 15 years), I would love to have 3 more kids. hahah.

Why 3? I do not know. It just came to my mind.

I have never known I like kids this much. I mean I was not the type of person who love to hold baby and stuff. I did not have much thoughts about kids before. I mean I was simply not interested in them much.

But now, I like them. Well, particularly, my own kids.

hey, thanks to come to my life and give me a lot of happy days, kids!

One thing is sure. I like to be a mother of these children and it is the best job I have ever had!!!!

I am so glad that I am a woman.

I am lucky to be stay home mother. Every little thing my kids do, make my day and week, month and year.

Yeap, I feel going crazy somtime but who doesn't. I thought I go crazy when I working with bunch of engineers. hahaha. I would rather feel going crazy about my kids.

Well, now Little Shii chan is sleep now. I better go to sleep...

I love to see my little baby sleep....

Excersise

I rented the excersise DVD to shed off my extra weight from pragnecy. Yea, you can laugh. I lived in 80's to know what Dirty Dancing is. Check this out. hahaha

Brother and sisiter are look like?

I cannot tell Shii chan is look like me or Jens more? It is hard to tell... However, I know for sure, she looks like her brother. So there is no mistake they are related at least. hahaha

Little H is a good brother

Our little H is growing everyday. Since his sister was born, he has been a good brother to her. The latest his favorite thing to do with his sister is to be near by her and lying down next to her.

Just cute to see how he likes to be with her.


Every morning, he asks me where his sister is when I did not bring her to a front room. He always wants to know where she is when we go anywhere.

He even tries to entertain her when she is fussing by Pica boo. What a good brother.

Cleaning the balcony and Rasberry picking

Little H thinks that he needs to clean the balcony when he goes out there. He tries to move my weights. (They have not been used a long time so they have a lot of dust on them...) He moved a big pot.








We visited our friend's hosue on Tuesday. Little H experienced the picking rasberry the first time. He was not quite sure the first while, but he got hung of it little later. My freind helped Little H to pick the rasberry.

kids smile and I smile

My little girl Shii chan now gives us a cute smile.

My Little H is running around and being a toddler and he is having fun jumping, running and chasing!

So... one month later

We have not updated a while. You figure. We had a baby girl. She is cute and fun to be with. She is little over one month old now.






Her nick name is Shii chan. So here is some of her and Little H's pictures. Little H is a great older brother. In fact, I think he likes his sister more than mom. He kisses her and tries to take care of her as a 22 month old can...

So almost there

Well, our second child is on the way and will be here soon. I mean the due date is 17 May, but according to the Dr, she will come here sooner than that. Hunnn.

I guess she doesn't have an enough patience to wait till due date. hahaha. I wonder where she got inpatince. hahaha.

I am very much ready to finish this pragnency now.

We are now healthy family!

Finlay, we are back to healthy family!!!!

Little H and Jens are now back on truck. Yes.

I can sleep little better now. I do not have to worry about Little H might throw up during the night.

Well, yesterday, Little H and Jens found a new toy in a house. They placed the cushion from the sofa and Little H is running around top of the cushions and jump on them...


Little H had a great time. But he got a little too tired so daddy called the end. He was not happy about it and cried on daddy's shoulder a little.

I am so happy that all of our family members are back in a good health!!!

cold or flu

We have been sick past one week. All of us got it from same place or same person since we all got sick at same time. Well, Jens was little delayed but not much...

I started to feel better finaly... Little H seems to have a little left over cough still and little bit of running nose... Jens is the worst one right now....

It is a nice warm day, so I should take Little H to a walk or somthing out side for fun today.

Nice breakfast

Well, I have been writing about Little H a lot lately... It doesn't mean that I do not have any other thing to think of....

So... I am going to write my another favorite man in a world, Jens. He may not appreciate me writing about him.... But oh well, too bad...

Yesterday, we started a summer time as all of you know. Little H is an early riser and he doesn't care whether it is summer time or winter time... Yeap, he woke up 7:30am summer time... But my body is still reacting 6:30am.

I was tiered and sleepy. My be loved husband, he woke up and took care of Little H. Not only that he cooked us a nice breakfast...

I did not know so I woke up and took a shower and I heard the knock on the door....

"What?"

When I came out, there are my two favorite men in a whole world standing. The big one, Jens is carrying a table with big plateful of breakfast that he cooked... The little men, Little H is standing with big smile...

Jens cooked a taste pancake from scratch, scrambled egg, bacon and apple juice so that he could bring a breakfast to a bed...

What a nice hunsband, I have!!!!

Thank you, guys. I am supper lucky woman to be with you guys!!!!

Little H's revellious

Well, one sign of growing is to have own mind... Yes, little H is definitely growing. This week, he decided to test mom's patience and how far he can go...

Monday, at the play group.... He did not want to sit down and to be read. He ran around and did not want to do anything what teacher said. (The reading time is a favorite time for him and he did not have a problem to be read during reading time...)

Tuesday, he did not want to eat anything even though he was hungry. He swung arms and "Ah! Ah!"

Wednesday, he knows that he is not supposed to stand up on the couch. He decided to run around the top of the couch even though mom said "Stop it"

Well, what happens. Too bad of little H, mom is not a weak woman. Even though Little H was revellious, mom doesn't let him do what he is not supposed to... Yes, even though he screams or cries, mom is always same. No! means NO!

On Thursday, I guess little H realised that it is worthless effort.... Little H turned back to normal little H. I guess he thought that mom doesn't let him do whatever just because he wants to....

Since he turn back to a good little H, he has been allowed to play in a bathroom a little bit. Usually, he cannot stay there too long.... He found my make up bag and observing what are in there. He is very satisfied with his playing time in a bathroom.
Well, little H. It is good that you are growing. I am proud of you. But you know, mom says "No" that means "No" any time anywhere. haha

Hina ningyou

In Japan, we have a girls festival on March 3. We display the doll which is called Hina Ningyou. They aer prince and princess.

I and Little H go to Japanese play group every Monday morning. In that group, we made a little cup Hina Ningyo.

It was the first time for Little H to use the brush and paint.

He enjoyed to paint the cup. He was into painting inside of cup instead of out side.
So this is the his creation.



He could not resit to try to put the brush in his mouth. I guess sparkling green and red color looked appetising to him. I cached him fast enough right before he put the brush in his mouth. But around his mouth, sparkling green color all over!

For the first craft for Little H, he did good job.

Cleaning time

Last night, we had a church activity at the church gym. Little H had a great time at a nursery. He did not mind to go to nursery and play with other kids. Since we are the nursery leader on Sunday, he has never been by himself in nursery before. So I was wondering how he reacts to it.

Well, little H was waiving at me when I say "Enjoy the nursery. bye bye." Yes, he was saying "Bye mom. I will enjoy playing with frinds."

After the activity, dada was clening the gym. Little H was observing what his dad was doing. Mopping the floor the gym. The first, he followed his dad and run around a little. After dad completed the job, he decided to try himself.

"Well, I think Dad did an Ok job, but just in case,
I have to make sure everything is clean!!!"

"This is a hard job to do...."

Great job little H.
