First week update

So my first week went pretty well. I grumbled and whined and procrastinated a lot on the last day...but really, I think I was just super tired from a whole week of school. Mom and Dad are going to try to get me to bed earlier next week. So far, I'm really liking school. They sing songs, and you know me, I love it. I think I'm mostly confused on the chinese part.

Mom saw me sitting next to the same girl two days in a row, and she (I don't know her name, or atleast I won't tell Mommy) was sorta helping me out. When the class got up to sing, I was confused. So she put her hand out and gestured me to get up. How nice of her. I think she was trying to get me to do the hand movements with her too.

First Day of Preschool

My first day of preschool went well. Last night, I was freaking Mom out a little by telling her that I wanted her to stay....but when Mom and Dad dropped me off at school, I was fine. Don't get me wrong, I certainly didn't run in there, but I went with Ms Rosa and she gave me a toy to play with. I think I was confused because I had to go to a different room. For the last month or two of Cameron's school, I visited my preschool classroom too. It will be my classroom in the fall, just not in this summer session.

Anyhow, Mom came to pick me up on her bike, which was fun. Ms Rosa said I was getting tired, but Mommy thinks that I was just bored (it was Chinese circle time, and I didn't understand). I did sit nicely though. I told Mom I had fun. Mommy and Daddy are so proud of me!

Trains

I'm sure you know by now I have it bad for trains. All train, whatever trains. I need them, I want them. I'm pretty good at talking now, full sentences and such. And I love to talk about trains. How fast they go, how loud they are, what they carry, how they go together, how long they are, riding super super loud trains, riding long trains....I could go on. Anyhow, everywhere I go....I seem to borrow trains.....

The "loudest" train I borrowed from Connor

I borrowed from Tristan....Emily, Arthur, Gordon and Thomas.

That's a lot of borrowed trains!

Baby Lucas!

We visited Baby Lucas today. And I got to meet up with all my pals too. We played train. Boy, that Connor has a lot of nice trains. ( I borrowed one)
Baby Lucas was born June 23rd at 7lbs 3oz. 21 inches. 11:28am. Hey, he shares the same birthday as Daddy! Cool!


Auntie Sarah and Addison. Look how big she got!


I have an orange jacket to match the orange train....


Baby Lucas and Mommy. Look how big Mommy's head is!

Oh, and did I mention that I miss Cameron? He left for Seattle with Gung Gung and Paw Paw last Tuesday. They made it up there safely, but I can't believe he sat in the car for so long! I ask for him at least once a day!

Happy Daddy Day!

Happy Daddy's Day to you Daddy! I had fun watching videos with you. Thanks Dad!

Oh, boo, I have a runny nose today. Boo. Otherwise, I'm good.

Mom got thank binkie away from me....but I am always waking her up (avg 3x per night) asking for some water to drink (months ago, Mommy weaned me from my crib water bottle....) and now I know she is contemplating giving it back to me. The problem with giving me the crib water is....it might get in the way of potty training at night like it has with Cameron. Anyhow, what do you think? Should I get my crib water back?

Congratulations Cameron!

Do you want to know what I did during Cameron's school graduation and performance? Hey, it was 2 hours long!!!!!

I watched the choo choo trains on his flip camera. Good thing we went to ride the trains the week before and got some video. I could watch it over and over again.

Yut yee saam

Yut yee saam
saam yee yut
yut yee saam say mmm look chut
yee saam say
say saam yee
say mmm look chut baat gauw sup

That's my favorite song (you've got to sing it in Cantonese....) and my other fave is Jingle Bells (Mom and I sing a lot of different songs...but she ran out of ones where she knows the words....)

Oh, and I can also sing....zhu ni sheng ri kuai le...cuz I heard it like a million times at Cameron's school. When it was Cameron's bday and we went to his class...they sang it like....5 or 6 times. Sheesh! Mommy caught me singing it this morning in my crib. Nice to wake up singing, right? Oh, but anything that starts with an L...sounds like an R when I say it. Funny, huh?

I think I'm ready to go to school. Every time I got with Mom to pick up Cameron, I have to make a stop at my classroom. Room 1. I stop in and "say hi" to Miss Catherine and Miss Rosa. (okay, I don't usually say much, but I do run around and look at all the fun classroom stuff. One time, I even told Mom..."okay, you go away now"....ha ha! I guess I'll be going to a summer class for a couple of weeks, so that will be fun. I cannot wait because my teachers are super nice and school sounds like a lot of fun.

My brother and I tend to fight a lot...usually over trains, or things related to trains...like train books. If Mom is around, then there can be peaceful mediation....but unfortunately, Mom can't always watch us and will be in another room...then...well, I behave badly and I've been known to pull my brother's hair. Ooops! Mom usually comes right away and I say sorry to Ge-Ge and give him a big hug and kiss. One of these days, we'll be able to work it out ourselves, hopefully. :) I know my brother is a good big brother.

I can name lots of trains in the Thomas the Train family. Mom is amazed that I got that from watching Thomas on tv. I just love trains!
