找到家平了

那天在网上看到她的踪迹,给她留了言,今天收到她的邮件。真是很兴奋。我们十多年没连系了。

我们在南开的时候并不认识,但在理工时确成了知己。她告我她大学同学二十年聚会8月18刚在理工举行。自然想起了我很多。是啊,她班上的人我也认识很多。

看来有缘还是能再见的。

Friendship

I really appreciate the friendship from Jimmie. He has been so supportive to me for everything, not only for work, but really being a good friend of me.

Jie always says that she is so jealous about the fact I have close friends around me all the time. I am not very outgoing and I am not very shy neither, I am somewhere in the between. I never really go out and search for friendship intentionally. But I guess God send angles to protect me all the time. I consider myself lucky and blessed.

I just feel so happy to have Jimmie as a friend and enjoy to chat with him. He treats me like a real sister.

Play Date

One of his classmates from last year class, Christian, his mom sent me email and really wanted Thomas go their house to play after school this Friday.

I was OK about that and happy for Thomas that I know he would love to go, but his dad had a little concern about safety since Christian's mom wanted to pick him up at carpool just after school. Finally we both agreed on - just let him go with Christian's mom and play for afternoon and then we pick him up.

Thomas certainly got good time over there. He had hard time to leave every time he had play date but this time I promised to him that we would invite Christian to our house some time in the near future.

To Remember Or Not ?

On Monday after school Thomas was starting to learn Chess at school. I signed up for him this school year. He learned some odd numbers there , like 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 'king', 'queen', and 'knight', etc...

On that night he told me that he won't sleep because he would forget what he learned after sleep. I was trying to explain that you would remember things better if you get good sleep every night.

The second day he told me what I told him was true because he still remembered what Mr. Frank taught him in Chess program.

The next day morning he tried to remember what he learned and told me that he still could remember. Then he really believe that good sleep make his mind remembering things better.

What a stubborn boy ! Seems everything you told him, you have to convince to him.

To Dye Hair

Sunday worship was a special event, all kids from kindergarten to youth group attended sermon with us together. So Thomas sat with other kids on the other side. He noticed that one of our deacon's hair changed from gray to black.

He asked me why he changed his hair after that morning. I told him that made him look younger and better. Then he told me " mom , can I dye my hair to gray so I can be the oldest kids. " I replied " nobody wants hair to be gray, kids don't dye hair. "

Tonight he brought this topic again, asked me:
" mom, can I dye my hair to blue when I am 10 years old. "
"no, kids are allowed to dye their hair."
"how about blond ?"
"No, your hair looks perfect for you."
" but I want my hair blond because Brody's hair is blond." (Brody is his classmate and plays with Thomas most of the time at school.)
"we just keep whatever we have and that's way God wants to be. "
"how come Ava's hair is yellow ?"
"Everybody is different and special. That's just the way it is. You look good on your black hair."

"Are you going to have gray hair when you're getting older ?"
"of cause. "
"how about daddy?"
"yes."

First Soccer Game This Season

This morning Thomas got his first soccer game this season and he was so excited. He was doing so well , scored once and running so hard , even he looked tired at the very end because of not eating much breakfast but he really enjoyed it as always.

Good thing about soccer is to learn team work and hard work. Also got good opportunities to interact with other kids.

Parents Orientation

Tonight was parent orientation for preschool and Kindergarten in Thomas' school.

Lower school principal made a short speech and we watched a little slice of video about Prince of Peace Christian School, met other parents in his class, of cause his teacher Mrs. Moody. Also we signed up for volunteers for field trips and lunch relief , etc... Thomas always love to see us in his class.

We've been falling in love this school since Thomas enrolled it two year ago. Kindergarten has been growing so fast from 3 classes last year to 5 classed this year. Around 14-16 kids in each class.

Orientation was well organized as always. We had great time with other parents , teacher and knew better how Thomas did for the first two weeks in the school.

We have so much faith in this school. Hope Thomas grows up well academically and spiritually here.
