Church

Pews were full when we got to church today, as we moved to hard chairs in back Enoch complained, saying he wanted to sit on the couch.

Sharon gave opening prayer, then Enoch said 妈妈很好祈祷了!

Enoch likes to try and find the hymn in the book all by himself. He didn't find it today and when he noticed the song was ending he got really sad. I helped him find it, but the song was over, and he almost started crying, repeatedly asking to sing the song again.

Leonardo

Last night Enoch had fun putting his stuffed ninja turtle (which used to be mine) in his Elmo backpack. He has transitioned from my old bugs bunny being his favorite to the ninja turtle. He takes his turtle everyone around the house, often carrying it on his back. I think he thought it was a brilliant idea to put it in the backpack. He ended up going to sleep wearing the backpack, and a few hours later I heard him crying. I went into his room and found him struggling to get the backpack off, with his back drenched in sweat. I took it off for him and he stopped crying and went back to sleep. So cute.


Played uno again with Enoch today. I went hard on him, not letting him win. I changed the color and said, "ha ha ha!" He thought it was funny at first, but when I changed the color again and stopped him from going and fake laughed again he said, "don't laugh daddy!" I told him that was a reasonable request. At 3 he already understands that it doesn't feel good to lose! I did end up beating him, and then told him what a great job he did and how much fun it was. He had fun. In some ways he is so mature.



















Uno

Tuesday 5/21: Got home early today. Sharon took a nap and I started studying. Enoch finished playing with the duplos and asked me if I would play uno with him. I told him I was sorry but I had to study. Then he started cleaning up the duplos all on his own and asked if we could play after he cleaned up. He also cleaned up the ABC puzzle on the ground. Can't say no to such a sweet little boy! He knows how to get what he wants already.
