Owl Babies

Tonight Enoch "read" the entire book of "Owl Babies" word to word to us!!! He memorized "Good Night Moon" when he was two but I'm pretty sure tonight he really recognized and read a lot of words. That is so awesome!! One of the best moments of parenthood! You should see Sam's and My dropped jaws...  I only hope he has such passion for Chinese some day!!

BEST BIG BROTHER EVER!!

(Oct 21)Michael didn't get to eat icecream after Enoch's soccer practice today for wetting his pants. Michael of course cried really hard. Enoch said, "but I want Michael to eat icecream..." We told him no and explained that it was a punishment. Then Enoch told Michael "Michael, go say sorry to mommy and daddy." Michael came to me but eventually didn't say anything. Then it was time to eat icecream. Enoch said " I want to save some icecream in my bowl for Michael." BEST BIG BROTHER EVER!!

Baby Sister

Today (Oct 20) we were reading a book about "little brother", I asked them how many little brothers they have. Of course after answering my question, Enoch said" But I don't have any sisters. When are we going to have a little sister?" Good question! I said" I don't know. Maybe if mommy have another baby, you might have a little sister..." Then Enoch said, "Well, I think tomorrow (I think he meant next time) it's still going to be a little brother. Mommy" Smarty Pants!

goalie

Enoch had a melt down in his soccer game today. He just has no desire to be aggressive and run into a group of kids and kick wildly. He loves to play at home with me but he just doesn't see the thrill of playing with 12 other kids on the field. During the game he started crying and said he didn't want to play anymore.

Luckily, Sharon had the brilliant idea to make him the goalie. He loved it. He even stopped a goal once, and had a giant smile.

I think eventually he will find his courage, but I love knowing that we have a kind hearted little boy.

And Enoch, just so you know, I was never super aggressive either. I think I did well in soccer as a little kid, but when I got older I was never aggressive enough to do well in basketball. Didn't want to hurt anybody!

marry me or I'm going to be angry

Lindsey and Brandon Harper went to a dinner tonight, so we watched their kids. We used to be decent friends, but they moved to Katy so we see them less often. They have a 4 year old girl named Violet and a 2 year old named Charlie. Enoch and Michael had a great time playing with them tonight. It was fun to see how happy they were playing.

Late in the night, Enoch said: "violet can you please marry me when i grow up because if you don't marry me when I grow up then I'm going to be angry"

Popcorn

30 minutes after enoch went to bed, he started crying inconsolably. Turns out he was sad he didn't get to finish his popcorn he was eating at 5
