Going potty in the park all by yourself

Michael is just potty trained and I still bring his little frog potty when we go out. I usually remembers to ask Michael if he needs to go potty but yesterday at the playgroup I forgot until a couple of hours later. I asked both Enoch and Michael if they need to go potty, and both of them said that they already went potty! I asked them where. Michael pointed at a tree next to the fence, and Enoch pointed at some bushes in the different direction... OK, my boys can take care of their potty needs when they are out and about. Kind of embarrassing though, maybe we should reinforce no peeing in public rule :-)

Bribing them into college

After put Michael and Peter to nap, I asked Enoch if he wanted to practice writing Chinese, he said "No, mom, I don't want to today." 
Me:" Well, then what do you want to do?" 
E:" I want to practice writing on the ipad." 
Me:"No, we are not going to get the ipad out today. But if you learn to write chinese 1-10, then I'll give you a dollar." 
E:" Oh, mom, I like to write it today." 
Yep, bribing them into college-here we go.

Easter FHE

After having an FHE about Easter: Michael said " Baby Jesus came out of the eggs like baby chicks. " And Enoch asked "Where did baby Jesus come out of Mary?" Yay Great! 

crying when you lose

A few days ago I was playing memory with Enoch and Michael. The second time we played I showed no mercy and kicked their butts. They both cried... I felt sort of guilty! But not really.... :-)

Drawing talent

We recently noticed that Enoch can draw, and not just that, he can draw really well! Last Sunday at primary, he drew the sun really well. This Sunday they were talking about fish and other things in the water, he drew two beautiful turtles. His teacher was amazed at how well he can draw and so were we! We are so proud! So today we put a binder together to keep Enoch's drawings. I see lots and lots beautiful drawings coming out his hands. Love you Enoch! 

妈妈很忙！

worms

Got home from school early today. Started OBGYN this week and have been gone 13-14 hours a day. It's been a hard transition since I have been home studying for STEP1 for the past several months. I miss the kids while I am gone and am sad I have little time to play. Today I got home at 3:30 and was happy to spend the afternoon playing with them. Peter is crawling all over the place. Michael has quite the little temper but is quick to be adorable and loving. Enoch is the sweetest boy and so intelligent. I tickled Enoch and Michael to wake them from their naps and took them outside to pick the wild flowers in our yard. We gave them to an old neighbor family across the street. Then we planted some pea pods that I bought from home depot a while back. Weather should be just right for them. It was fun because it has been raining a lot recently and there were tons of worms in the compost pile. I think it was Enoch and Michael's first time playing with worms. They loved it. They weren't too afraid to hold them and let them crawl all over.

I feel so blessed to have wonderful kids and a wonderful wife.
