I want to open the door by myself!

Enoch has been buckling himself into car seat since he was about 2.5 years old which is really advanced for his age. Recently he wanted to open the auto car door by himself. I told him that if he can unbuckle himself from the car seat then he can open the auto door by himself. So today he refused to get out of his car seat and wanted to unbuckle himself. I unbuckled him twice but he buckled himself back up. And even after we all went inside the house, he still set in the hot car for about 10 mins trying to unbuckle himself. Of course he is too young to do that, eventually I asked him if he wanted to go inside the house. He said yes, but not willingly. He was super sweaty when he finally got out of the car. He still cried for a good while for not being able to open the door by himself. I'm just glad that he went inside before he got too hot and die. Sometimes Enoch is really determined or stubborn, which can be a good thing. I just hope that when he grows up, he will still be so determined to do things he really likes and not easily give up.

没有奶了！

Enoch usually doesn't drink very much milk at a time. Today, before Enoch and Michael's afternoon nap, I had the boys come drink milk. Enoch was first, and I got a cup of leftover milk out of the fridge. There was a lot left, and I didn't think Enoch would drink it all. However, he started gulping it down, and didn't stop until it was all gone. He finished, looked up and smiled, and shouted, "没有奶了!"

Michael, of course, started crying.

The things Enoch is willing to do to upset his brother.

Cute sayings

Enoch likes to watch the Old Testament Bible Video about Enoch. Afterwards, he and Michael were arguing about which one of them was a prophet.

Enoch loves to say random things that we can't understand and then laugh hilariously. Whatever he is saying he thinks it's pretty funny.

The other day Enoch said "Penis, de nada", meaning "penis, you're welcome"

The water comes out

Enoch walked into our room with his hand over his crotch saying, "the water comes out!"

I told him to go pee pee, and he did.

Fits, kissing Peter

Yesterday as nursery ended Enoch was crying nonstop. His leaders didn't know what happened. When we got home he said "I want E N O C H!" Turns out he was upset they didn't write his name on the craft they did.

Yesterday he also came up to me at one point and said "I kissed peter!" Seconds later peter, who had been sleeping, started crying.

Subtraction

Went bowling for the third time yesterday with Grandma. Enoch and Michael both seemed to get bored rather quickly; it seems the novelty of bowling is wearing off.

Once, when after Enoch bowled 1 ball, you could see 3 pins, and Enoch said, "I got 7 pins!" Another time, Enoch bowled and you could see 2 pins and Enoch said, "I got 8 pins!" It certainly seemed like he was doing subtraction! Pretty impressive to me. He was actually wrong both times, since there was a hidden pin that you couldn't see both times. But it seems to me that he has a natural knack for numbers.

No parking spot

Finding a parking spot is one of the hardest things to go to places in Houston. I always tell kids that I need to find a parking spot so that we can get off the car, or go to the YMCA and such. One day at home, I told the kids to pick up their shoes and put them on the shoe rack. The top shoe rack where the kids' shoes are is getting really full. So I heard Enoch said " No parking spot!".
