Miracle!

Miracle! My boy can eat by himself now. I was having a hard time to train Mai to eat by herself. I was so frustrated when the meal time came up all the time. Not only I needed to feed Mai, but I also needed to make sure Haru gets his own food. Tired, angry, wondering, discouraged, upset and all the bad feelings come up when I finally fed both of them. Most of the time, I didn't even want to eat my meal after feeding Mai and Haru. Now, I finally feel better that both of them could eat by themselves. Meal time brings me joyfulness. Having a good eating habit is so important for both children and parents. I won't give up and will try hard to help Mai and Haru.

神奇真的太神奇了. 我們的弟弟開始會自己吃飯了. 真的很不可思議. 老實說, 當媽咪的我真的很失敗在教導姊姊吃飯的習慣. 當吃飯時間來臨時, 我時常覺得很害怕和不安. 更有的時候會覺得很恐懼. 因為要同時餵飽姊姊和弟弟兩個人得花很多的時間和精力. 常常得追著姊姊到處跑才能順利餵完她的一餐. 很多時候, 我自己都會很生氣, 納悶吃飯的愉快時間怎麼變成了我固定發脾氣的時間. 沮喪大概是我最常認同的結論.
當Haru自己開始有興趣自己進食時, 我決定放手讓他去學習吃飯的動作和習慣. 我發覺他也做的相當不錯. 當然我還是得在他們身邊督促一下, 免得他們搞東搞西的不乖乖用餐. 現在我終於比較能享受用餐的時間. 我會努力加油培養姊弟兩好的用餐習慣. 對一個家庭來說, 孩子們能盡情的享用食物和有好的吃飯習慣真的非常重要. 希望我們都能更愉快的完成一天3餐.

Party with Nakaso Family

Since Christmas is coming soon. I decide to throw a small party with our friends, the Nakaso's. I make some American food and prepare for a small children table for the girls. The party turns out great and fun. We have fun with friends.

At the same time, we all miss our friends in Taiwan, Hawaii, Singapore, U.S.A, and all the places. We miss you all. Wish all of us could meet again someday.
Friends are such important for us.........:p

在聖誕節即將來臨的前夕, 我們終於有機會邀請了中祖家庭來到訪. 我們一起玩遊戲和享用我比較拿手的美式料理. 小女生們都很開心屬於她們自己的公主桌. 雖然我不是個好廚師, 不過我想大家應該都吃的很飽.......:p 飯後我們更享用了由中祖家庭所帶來的美味日式布丁. 短短的3個小時為我們家庭帶來的很棒的時光.

同時, 我們的家庭真的很想念所有我們在世界各地不同的朋友們. 雖然現在大家都各在不同的國家中生活,但很期待有一天我們都會再見面的時光.

Some Randon Pictures of this week

Kids grow up so fast. They bring me and Hiro lots of happiness everyday. Sometimes, I just cannot help myself to take them pictures. I wish I could remember all the happy and upset moments of Mai and Haru. Being a stay-home mommy is a great blessing. Thanks Hiro for working so hard for the family so that I could be a stay-home mom and enjoy being with kids all the time.

小孩子真的長的很快. 總覺得才剛剛抱在懷裡餵奶, 一下子就會跑會跳, 會追給我們打. 每一天Mai and Haru都為我和Hiro帶還很多很棒的時光. 有時候我就是沒辦法控制我自己不去為他們拍照. 他們的情緒也時時刻刻都不同, 上一秒兩姊弟才在搶玩具而哭鬧, 下一秒兩個人又坐在一起玩得不亦樂乎. 能當一個全職媽咪其實很幸運. 每一刻都能陪他們一起成長. 真的很感謝為家庭付出和犧牲很多的daddy. 如果不是他的辛勤工作, 我大概就不會像現在一樣當個全職媽咪了. 養孩子說不累是不可能的,不過當負母的感覺和責任真的很棒.

Mai is so happy when she receives the package from Y-ma. 開心的姊姊.

Activity for Dec. from Mai's Pre-school

Mai's pre-school provides all the students-to-be a wonderful and spiritous activity for this month. The teachers teach us many cute children songs and Christmas songs. At the same time, they also teach us making a cute paper Christmas tree. In the end of the activity day, they also give all the kids a great story time. Although school is not yet ready until next year April. Mai cannot wait to be the part of this school family.

Mai明年4月開學的幼稚園,提供了一個很棒又很有靈性的活動日在這個很棒的12月份. 我們學習很多日本的兒歌和聖誕節的歌曲. 同時, 我們也一起動手製作了屬於我們的聖誕樹. 在活動日的尾聲, 老師們更提供了一個很棒的故事時間. 所有的新生們都好享受這個很特別的活動日. 同時我們都很期待下個月的活動呢!

Our Christmas Tree

We finally set up the Christmas tree for this year. Since we live in a small place, we got a small tree as well. Mai helps to decorate the tree a lot. She enjoys the tree so much. Haru is also trying to pull out all the decorations. When we light up, both of Mai and Haru sit quietly in front of the tree. Thank you for Y-ma's present. We really enjoy our Christmas tree. Santa, are you coming soon?!

我們終於裝飾好了聖誕樹. 由於我們在住的房子真的是太小了,所以我們有一顆小小的聖誕樹. Mai真的非常開心,一邊幫忙我裝飾樹,一邊告訴我一定要叫聖誕老公公來我們家參觀. 同時呢! Haru也很認真的在拆掉我們佈置好的裝飾品. 但當我們點燈時,兩個小的都好安靜地坐在聖誕樹前看著一閃一閃的燈. 看著她們眼中的期待, 我真的好開心. 聖誕老公公快來. Mai and Haru都在等你喔! 感謝阿嬤今年的禮物. 我們真的好喜歡我們的聖誕樹.

My B-Day!

My B-day finally comes in the end of this year. Time flies so fast that I'm 27 now and cannot believe that I'm actually 27 already. Somehow, I just feel I'm not mature enough to be the age of 27. But, I do really enjoy my B-day this year with my family. Thank you so much for all the friends and family that you take care of me until now.
Wish I'm not getting old. Wish I could be a better daughter when I'm home with my parents. Wish I could be a better wife and mommy. Wish I could be a better friend. Lots of wish.....:p
But, I really don't want to be older and older..........Time, please stop for a while.........
