You are obsessed with turtles. I draw them for you frequently. You got a tmnt uno set for Christmas. Drew this for you today and you loved it!

Constipated and afraid of dying

A few days ago Enoch was constipated. It was a bit traumatic, and a hard piece of poop was stuch halfway out of his butt. We knew he was having a hard time when he wasn't singing on the potty like he usually was. Sharon went to help him get the poop out, and told him he was having htis problem because he didn't drink enough water.

He was crying, and said, "Mommy I don't want to go on top. Grandma and Grandpa's Michael went on top."

He vaguely learned about death when Sharon talked about the star on the Christmas tree and told them about my little brother Michael that died. His way of talking about death is going "on top".

He thought he was going to die from constipation! Sharon told him he wasn't going to go "on top", that sometimes Mommy gets constipated, that it's OK and it happens to everyone when they don't drink enough water.

Sharon said he wiped his eyes and suddenly cheered up, then pooped a little bit later.

It was heart breaking that he worried about dying! He is such a deep little thinker, that little boy of ours. I hope he doesn't feel the need to worry about that kind of thing in the future!

Good big brothers

This morning I was really tired after tending to Peter's cries between 5 to 6 am. I finally gave up and fed him formula around 6 and put him back to bed. When I got up around 7:30am, I found that the door to Peter's room (mom's laundry room) was open, and then I found that there were many toys and a size 3 diaper in Peter's pack n play. Peter was really happy just playing inside. As I was picking up Peter, Michael came in and dropped off some more toys in the pack n play. So I asked if he has been giving Peter toys. And he said yes. Then later when I talked to Enoch, he said that he gave Peter toys too but not the diaper. So I guess both of them have been giving Peter toys to keep him happy and even a diaper for a "diaper change". Such good big brothers! 

Smartest 3 year old

Last week Enoch's sunbeam teacher said he is the smartest three year old he's ever seen. This week he said he is the most well behaved kid he's ever seen.

Enoch's first weeks in primary are going well. I think he is a little intimidated because he does not know all the new songs, but he likes all the one on one time with teachers.

妈妈要饿死

Yesterday was fast sunday. On the car ride home, Sharon was explaining to Enoch about fasting and why we fast. Enoch looked at her and said 妈妈你要饿死了！

First Day of Primary

Enoch started his first day of primary class today in Tucson! He did awesome! One teacher said Enoch song "I'm a child of God" song really well. And the other said that Enoch is the smartest three year old he has ever seen! I'm a proud mama!
