Fireman visit

The firemen came to my school for a visit today. Mommy brought me to school just so I could see them. First they talked about being safe and what to do when there's a fire at home. I learned that if my clothes catch on fire, I should STOP, DROP and ROLL! And I can show you how to do it too! Also, I know to call 9-1-1 in an emergency. (Actually, another fireman told me that when I saw them at Santana Row).

Then, we got to go take a look at their big firetruck. I didn't want to go inside, but my friends did.

Plus, here are some pictures of me at school. I used to not like Chinese circle time. But now, I love love love the songs. I always ask Mommy to play Chinese songs in the car. They are way awesome!

Getting better

My finger is getting better. Still black, but I can sorta use it. I'm just careful when my right hand needs to be used.

I'm learning a lot in preschool. Sometimes when I play at home, I'll sing (mumble) songs that I've heard in school. Mommy always asks me what I'm singing...hee hee. Also, I like Chinese songs. And I also like the phonics song. Here are two short short ones...

Knee pads and helmets keep me safe, so I don't have to "______" What?

Hello, How are you? .....anymore?

Apple apple, ah ah ah
baby baby, buh buh buh
cookie cookie, cah cah cah....

First field trip

I went on my very first field trip! Our school went to the pumpkin patch down the road. Mommy (and Brendan) came, cuz Mommy had to drive me there. I picked out a pumpkin for myself, and of course, one for Brendan. I had a good time...except, there were a bunch of bouncy houses....and I was scared.

Oops, my finger!!!!

Uh oh! I've got a bad boo boo. I smushed my finger (right pointer) in the door....and now it is all black and blue under my fingernail. It's yucky and hurts so very much. No wonder Mommy and Daddy are always telling me not to play with doors....

I heard that my nail might fall off...what's my finger going to do without the nail? I'm scared and I won't let anybody near my finger. I don't like washing my finger and I don't even like changing my shirts. This whole weekend, I've just used my left hand for everything, eating, drinking, and playing! I hope my finger gets better soon, cuz I have to go to school and do my worksheets. And how am I going to do my worksheets if I can't hold the pen? Aiya!

Busy busy busy

It's been a busy weekend...Saturday, Mommy went to a party for Auntie Betty (that lasted the whole day), Auntie CC came into town for a visit, we went to Lucas' party, and we had a really good dinner with some of Daddy's relatives.  And Daddy put Brendan and I to bed by himself.  Mommy was so happy!  It was a super busy day.  And if that wasn't enough....Sunday was busy too, because we went to pick up Mommy in SF, and then we went to the new shopping mall there.  I was pooped!  

I've been having a lot of fun with Auntie CC.  She helps me do lots of fun stuff and does puzzles with me.  She also took me to school on Monday.  I'm going to miss her when she goes home.

My chinese is getting better.  I can now say Wan An (good night), and Zhao An (good morning), Xie xie (thank you), and Ni Hao (Hello).  School is great.  I'm really enjoying it.  Probably cuz they have lots of cool worksheets and projects for me to do.  

preschool update

So, preschool is going okay.  I started in preschool 1, and now I'm already in preschool 2.  I guess since I am fully "day" potty trained and am pretty cooperative at school.  PS1 is for kids who just started going to school and need more time adjusting.  But I love preschool!  I really enjoy it.  Ms Sophia, my teacher, says that I've got a good temperament and am well behaved (only at school, haha).  

My third day was good.  I didn't cry when Daddy dropped me off.  And I had lunch at school too.  All I remember was that I had rice and something Chinese...it was good.  Mommy saw the sauce all over my face when she picked me up.  Yum.  My teacher said that I was very good and cute, too.  :)  Hee hee.  

I can write a few letters all by myself...M  O  M (I know that spells Mom) and H (my favorite letter), and A.  Today I wrote B and C!  I can read all letters, both the uppercase (big) and lowercase (small) letters and I know all my numbers.  Sometimes though, I'll pretend I don't have a clue what you are talking about!  These days, I ask about a million questions a day.  Sometimes the same questions....over and over...but I'm just so very curious.  :)  

First Day of School!

Today was my first day of preschool.  Mommy and Daddy and Brendan took me.  At first, I didn't want Mommy to leave, but then I was okay.  I even went to the potty at school (normally, I'm kinda scared) and Mommy was worried that I wouldn't go at all.  I had fun and I learned that "Ni Hao" means "hello" in Chinese.   Most of my classmates are mandarin-speakers, so I'm going to have to learn what they're saying.
