Written by beeber on February 25, 2009 – 10:54 pm -anZel was playing his mega block type toy this morning while I was changing him…there were squares and circles shaped blocks.
anZel: Here is a circle.
mum: That’s right. Are there square ones?
He picked up a square one and showed it to me.
mum: Are there rectangle ones? (knowing full well that there wouldn’t be one…)
anZel picked up two square ones together and gave them to me.

mum: We are almost there.
anZel: When we arrived at the park, should my whole body come out?
~~~~~~~~~~~
Arden cried for a long time during her morning nap. This is anZel’s explanation.
anZel: Maybe she saw the step-mother in the dark.

mum: I wonder why…
anZel: I think it’s because the grass are thirsty.
~~~~~~~~
Before heading out to dinner on Monday…anZel said “Mum, remember I will always love you.”
~~~~~~~~
It can be tough getting anZel in a coat and be ready to go in the morning. On Tuesday, I was particularly frustrated because I was running late. anZel: Mum, I want you to be happy.
~~~~~~~~
anZel has turned into Mum lately. Whenever he sees me cutting fruits, he will always say “Mummy, be careful when you cut, ok?”

After dinner, dAd and anZel headed upstairs the other day. He said “Daddy, 我連滾帶爬上來了”

When Arden saw dAd was still sleeping a couple mornings ago, she put her index finger in her mouth and said “shhhh”.

Written by beeber on January 29, 2009 – 10:57 pm -We went to visit Auntie Charlene last Saturday. We were too busy visiting that we didn’t get any photos of the children playing with Jeffrey. After our visit, we had KFC with the children for the first time. It was well-received by the critics, especially anZel. He actually said the “chicken” was tasty.
After stuffing ourselves with “chicken”, we went to help dAd move into his office. Well, here is anZel helping in his sleep. On one hand, he has his newly acquired Transformer Potato Head and a flower from his cousin on the other. He is my ultimate metrosexual.

And here was Arden keeping mum out of jail by hanging out in the car while her brother slept away. She was ready to explore the car even with 30 minutes of sleep in nine hours!

a ride down memory lane
Written by beeber on January 19, 2009 – 11:08 pm -We have been challenged the past couple of weeks with anZel cluster tantrum weekend and Arden’s fever. Arden took us down memory lane the past weekend. She started having a fever last Thursday. At one point, it was 103.9. She was like a ball of fire. With that, she slept in the intervals of 30 minutes with 10 to 15 minutes of inconsolable cry. She did that for two nights straight. It was a roller coaster ride down memory lane. This morning, she let it down/up a bit with only one hour of scream between 4 to 5 am. I hope she will turn a new leaf tonight. If not for her sleep deprived parents…at least for the new president and the country tomorrow.
Here are a few pictures from the past few weeks.

When riding in the car, anZel would ask me to look at what he was doing. I often told him that I would love to if I had eyes at the back of my head. Yesterday, anZel said “mum, why don’t we have eyes in the back of our heads?”
#2
We drive by a pasture on our way to school every day. Yesterday, the cows were long ways from the freeway.
mum: anZel, Look…you can see the cows today.
anZel: Why are they so far away from the freeway?
mum: Ummm (trying to come up with an intelligent answer and being mighty proud of a quick answer), because they are afraid of getting hit by the cars.
anZel: (without missing a beat) But there is the fence right there.
mum: Ummm…(feeling like an idiot) you are right.
lOOk who is walking…
Written by beeber on January 13, 2009 – 11:49 pm -With the newly developed stimulus plan (raisin), Arden entertained us with her new found skill over the weekend.
