Brotherly Love

Just remembered that last night close to 12am Enoch woke me up saying that Michael wanted water. Then he followed me to get water from the kitchen, and gave it to Michael who has probably been crying for a little while. I got really teary then to see their brotherly love and wanted it to remember that moment.

Brown boy

Today Enoch told me at the playground that a 棕色人 pushed him... I asked if he meant a brown shirt or brown skin and he said brown skin.  We don't talk about skin color, funny how he picks it up on his own

Peter's butt is too big!

Peter got stuck in the bumbo seat when I tried to take him out and this is Enoch's reaction: Mommy, Peter's butt is too big! (In Chinese)

Correcting me

Enoch started to correct my pronunciations quite a few times already. I know this is going to happen eventually, but didn't think it would come so soon. Sad but proud at the same time! 

Reading books to little brothers

Enoch likes to read books to his younger brothers. I often found him reading to Michael on the futon. And he also likes to read to Peter too. If I put Peter on the rocking chair, he would sit down and read a book with him and rock Peter at the same time. What a sweet big brother! I know that he is the perfect big brother for Michael and Peter!

Acting out characters

I was amazed to see Enoch acting out of the characters in the music video the other day. He would do what the people were doing in the video. Like in Lion heart, when the girl and boy bowl their head, run, happy, sad he would act it out. He even acted out the monsters. It was really funny to see. When I read the chinese bunny and turtle book with them last night, he would act out the bunny running and falling asleep under a tree. I see a potential actor in making. Although I'm not sure if daddy will let him be an actor :) 

Maybe we can engage him into a play now ?

WIC is not fun

Today Michael had preschool and Enoch, Peter and I went to a WIC appointment. Coming out of WIC office, Enoch said " WIC is not fun!" I felt so bad. I always wanted to make preschools days a special day for Enoch and Michael, but since Libraries open really late on Friday and story times are only on Thus, I haven't been able to find interesting things to do with Enoch on Michael's preschool day. I feel guilt. Now Enoch called it out, I felt even worse. So I told him I was going to take him to play at McDonald's and then get him icecream cone. He was happy for the idea. Although the McDonald's icecream machine broke, talking about a bummer! So I told Enoch that we are going to get icecream in the store and eat it after lunch. The catch is that the icecream is his, and he can choose to share with Michael. So that made him happy.
