Happy birthday my dear daughter, Mai Kiana

Happy 3 years old birthday

親愛的女兒:
真的不敢相信妳滿3歲了. 時間怎麼飛逝得那麼快, 回憶裡,妳還是剛剛出生抱在懷裡的小baby. 老實說妳的到來真的讓媽咪又驚又喜的.

3年前妳出生的那一天, 是Kahuku Hospital大停電的日子,一邊陣痛的媽咪還得跟汗搏命,真的不知道原來生baby是需要冷氣陪伴的.我和daddy兩個人都很緊張但也很愉快,daddy整晚都在講笑話陪伴媽咪和在肚子裡面的妳.媽咪雖然滿痛不過連Dr. Shimizu都佩服媽咪的勇敢和快速. 妳一下子就來到了這個世上,加入daddy和媽咪的Tomoi Family. 第一分鐘的妳,哭的好大聲,daddy都等不及要抱抱妳,在我們懷中的你是那麼的小那麼的輕,媽咪真的都不知道該怎麼抱妳才好.

兩天後我們就一起回家了.因為妳來的早,連台北阿嬤都來不及飛來看看妳,媽咪又真的是沒經驗,整整3天沒呵眼的媽咪抱著妳坐在沙發上一起和妳哭.我真的不知道要怎麼餵飽妳和哄妳入睡.Daddy馬上把妳接手過來,抱妳整晚讓妳乖乖入睡.書上教的,朋友告訴的經驗談,阿嬤電話中的叮嚀都變成媽咪心中的疑惑,因為真實的情況真的是因不同baby而異.


漸漸的媽咪終於知道要怎麼和妳相處了,知道怎麼逗妳開心,知道怎麼哄妳,知道怎麼餵飽妳,妳真的是一個很棒的baby,我和daddy都好享受和妳在一起的每一天. 妳一天一天的長大,從喝母奶到蘋果汁到開始愛喝牛奶.從愛吸奶嘴包尿布到改掉了奶嘴和穿上妳的第一件小褲褲,這中間的每一天都是那麼的可愛.而媽咪也在和妳在一起的每一天中發現妳是那麼的像我.有我強硬的脾氣和個性,有我愛頂嘴的壞毛病,有我頑皮的模樣,在在都顯示了我們是血濃於水的母女.有時候我們真的還會因為太過相像而有爭執,那時的媽咪真的好氣妳,但是我也想告訴妳,媽咪就算生氣時,還是最愛妳.且會是永遠愛著妳.


這幾個月來,媽咪發現妳不再是個baby了,眼前的妳是那麼的懂得表達妳自己的想法和看法,妳愛穿漂亮的dress,妳愛唱歌跳舞,妳愛笑愛尖叫,妳愛跑愛玩沙,妳愛騎bicycle,妳愛泡澡,妳愛吃麵和Pizza,妳愛吃糖果和秋葵,妳愛吃壽司和烤雞腿,妳更愛啃骨頭.妳愛跟朋友玩,妳總是想嫁人(嫁給Hi-chan),媽咪抱著妳時,覺得妳又重又大,但是媽咪想告訴妳不管妳幾歲,不管妳有多愛和妳的朋友玩,在我心中妳永遠是最棒最厲害最聰明的小超人.


忙碌的生活讓媽咪覺得很對不起這段期間都沒能好好陪伴妳,媽咪也因為太過忙碌而對妳不太耐煩,看妳一天天大了要上學了,才讓媽咪覺得真的該把握和妳在家相處的光陰,親愛的女兒,我好開心這3年來妳在我生命中著每一天. 我愛妳,永遠都是. 將來讓我們當全天下最好最親密的好朋友, 我的月亮.

Happy B-Day to my dear Mai. I love you, daddy loves you, and Haru loves you.

我們家姊姊又長一歲了

Summer is coming soon...

Mommy, Mai and Haru in Lazona Mall

Mai was eating icecream alone.

What a big bite!

快會坐的Haru......p

我也要吃, 姊姊!
I also want to eat!

真的滿想買回家用的椅子

Since Mai was born in Hawaii, she just enjoys being in the hot weather. She was so unhappy during the past few months because it was such a cold winter for her and all of us. Mai and I also had lots of arguments in these few months. The longer she stayed in the house, the more she would show out her impatience and short temper. It's just impossible to keep Mai stay at home all the time. Although I really wanted to take her go out and play in the park, the weather was too cold for baby Haru.
Fortunately, the weather in this week is getting hotter. I just cannot wait to take both of Mai and Haru out for a half day trip in Lazona Mall. Mai was so happy to eat yummy strawberry icecream and Haru was also pleased with a new environment. To be able to enjoy such shiny day with two of them is so awesome. I love summer time.

可能Mai是在熱帶島嶼出生的孩子,她真的非常不喜歡寒冷的天氣.在過去的幾個月中,她都非常不快樂, 總覺得關她在家裡面太久了. 她真的很想到外面去盡情的騎腳踏車, 更想到公園去跑跑, 可惜天氣真的是太寒冷了, 對baby Haru來說真的還滿辛苦的, 得陪著姊姊在外吹風, 而我也擔心他們會著涼. 不過這星期的天氣真的很棒. 趁著好天氣, 我帶她們兩姊弟到家里附近的Mall去逛逛, 順便買當季的草莓冰淇淋給Mai吃. Mai真的是開心到不行, 還順便讓她去Disney Store 晃晃, 而Haru也是非常enjoy在Mall逛街的悠閒. 我真的只能說夏天快來吧! 我們都愛死夏天了.........:p

We miss all the yummy yummy food that you made for us. We miss your friendly smile. Happy B-day. Thank you for your great example that you taught me to be a strong and tender woman. When you come back to Japan, let's meet in Tokyo again.

What a nice sister you are! Thank you for picking up so many cute dresses for Mai. She loves all the dresses that you and Dollymom sent to us. Time surly passes so fast that you are 15 years old already. When I first met you, you were only 8 years old and we loved to sleep together. We loved to chart and chart until Dollymom came to us not to talk any more. I miss you so bad. Just wana let you know that you are such a nice sister and Antie. I love you and wish you would come to visit me and my family soon.

Sakura Trip...櫻花出遊記

On one of the April holidays, we went for the Sakura trip in the senzokuike in Tokyo. It's our first time to join the Sakura season in Japan. Mai was pretty excited to feed the fish and bird. It's so amazing to see how God creates such beautiful flowers in this world. I also admire Japanese people that they care about their enviornment so much. Most of people came for the Sakura trip today brought their own food or BBQ nearby the senzokuike. However, they cleaned up well when they left. Although I suffered from pollen sickness, I did enjoy seeing all the beautiful Sakura.

我們一家大小來到東京的洗足池畔,在四月的某個假期中. 這是我們家第一次欣賞漂亮的櫻花,櫻花的顏色是Mai最喜歡的pink. 她一直要求我們幫她摘一朵,但我覺得怪怪地,大家都在賞花,如果伸手去摘花就太沒公德心啦.......:p

洗足池畔附近的房子都很像是歐洲的別墅,有很特別的歐風小露台, 大門上還有那種電影中看的到的復古燈, 真的很像是我們玩芭比娃娃屋的那種房子.

在池畔的兩旁可以BBQ和野餐,很多家庭或是朋友群們都會帶野餐墊然後坐在櫻花樹下賞景. 雖然我們也非常想野餐但礙於Haru還小,我們這趟真的純賞櫻花.

Mai and Daddy也把洗足池畔中的魚都餵得飽飽的. Mai真的很喜歡fish,每次魚群一靠近她就會又叫又跳的.

能在忙碌的大城市中, 忙裡偷閒一下真的非常好.

Wish

It's always good to take a nap with kids together. I used to make Mai to have a nap every afternoon. However, she stops taking a nap in this year. Now, she wakes up early in the morning around 7 or 7:45 am and she will stay up until 8:00 pm. Sometimes, she will take a small nap with Haru. However, it will be so hard for us to put her bed again during the night.
As Haru, he still take about two to three naps a day. When he takes a nap, Mai and I will read books, play disney house website, or watching DVD together. Most of the time, we will rush to grocery store and get some food for lunch and dinner. Since I ride a bike to shop for groceries, it's much easier to take one child with me.
Anyway, I just wana say that I miss taking a nap with both of them together. They are so cute whenever they lie down together to play..........:p

能和孩子們一起睡午覺真的是超幸福的. 因為我終於可以從忙碌的一大早到下午,稍稍休息喘口氣一下. 可惜的是, Mai今年開始不太有睡午覺的習慣了.
Haru還是維持一天小睡2~3次的習慣. 他是屬於早睡早醒型的baby. 晚上大概7~8點前一定會睡著,然後一覺到天亮6~7點.
Anyway, 當我看到他們躺在一起玩的時候, 我真的覺得他們很可愛. 如果他們可以玩一玩後,又一起睡著那真的是太完美了.
現在我常希望有個神燈讓我許一個願望就好,我不要很多的錢,不要房子,我只希望有時間讓我好好睡一場好覺或是有一個下午什麼都不做,就躺在床上就好. 真是奢侈的願望..........:p
Hiro常跟我說我們很好命,當我們40歲出頭,孩子們都快19~20了,那時他們都求學去,會不常在我們身邊了,我們的時間將會多到用不完. 想想Hiro的話真是沒錯,我們熬到40歲就輕鬆了,往後還有大半的人生能讓我們揮霍,想來就覺得現在的辛苦沒關悉了. 我那個時候應該會超想念有孩子們在身邊圍繞的日子吧!
人........大概就是這樣子矛盾........:p

New Family Pictures

Well, since I don't have much to write,I guess I can just put some funny pictures of our family here.....:p
These pictures were taken over a week ago. Whenever I look at all the pictures, I just thought Mai,Haru and Hiro are such funny and loved family members. I enjoy being with them each single day.

這星期真的沒什麼好寫的. 不過有一大堆家庭的生活照,就當作是新的update吧!

7 months old......好動的Haru

Haru really like to shower in this month, especially he loves to splash the water every where inside the bethroom. He enjoys watching the water splashed out of his beth tub and then he will give me a sweet smile.......:p

Now, he even tries to climb out of his beth tub. It's just so funny to see how hard he tries to climb in his small tub. Hopefully, he can sit by his own soon so that mommy can put him in the big tub. Since Mai has so many beth toys, it will be so fun to shower Mai and Haru at the same time. Mommy just cannot wait to take Haru and Mai swimming in the poor.

It's just so amazing to see how a baby grows up so much in such short time. He was a tiny baby that we worried about his size a lot. Now, he turns to become a healthy and happy baby. We just enjoy being with him so much. He is such a great son and we love him. Every night when daddy comes home, he always smiles to Hiro and waves his hands up and down. He seems to know how to welcome daddy home. When Mai sings and dances in front of Haru, he also gives his best to support Mai by kicking his feet and laughing loudly. Whenever mommy smiles to Haru, he always returns back a sweet smile.

Dear Haru:

Daddy loves you.

Mai loves you.

Mommy loves you.

Heavenly Father loves you.

Taipei grandparents love you.

Japan grandparents love you.
We all love you.

好動的Haru真的邁入7個月了. 真的很不可思議去看一個baby在很短的時間中成長和變化. 他現在非常喜歡洗澡. 尤其是不停地揮動雙手拍打水,把mommy都潑得濕濕的. 然後他會自己一直笑一直笑. 當他剛出生時,他真的好小好小一隻, 連醫生都覺得很不可思議, 在胎盤長得不健全下, 他還能一點一滴的吸收到一些養分,然後平安得從mommy得肚子裡碰出來,加入我們的家庭.醫生告訴mommy和台北阿嬤說, 他能活著出生真的是奇蹟.
我們的家庭變得比以往還忙碌,姊姊Mai也還在適應這個弟弟得到來,Amy媽咪常常是忙到手忙腳亂的地步,老爸Hiro更是辛苦,很想多陪陪Haru但又得在外努力賺錢養家,但說真的多個Haru還真棒! 我們都很愛他.尤其是他baby的笑聲,常常逗的大家都好開心.多個小孩,多份辛苦,也多了很多教養的責任,不過他們真的是太可愛了.

帥氣的頭,Mommy覺得很適合拍沐浴乳廣告
