amy says

"amy is so funny".

hehe. i bragged this to her teachers. and they told me, she IS funny! :D

went to the mall

we are such bad parents. we just realized we haven't bought amy any toys for about 6m now. shame on us. so this weekend we went and bought a drum,a train, and some play dough for amy. she had so much fun with them. after we move in our new house, i promise, we'll buy her more stuff.

in the afternoon, i took amy to the mall to buy some new shoes for her. i liked one of those Dora sneakers, but amy wouldn't let me buy them for her. she's convinced those are lucia's shoes and wouldn't let me try them on her. :D eventually we bought another pair of shoes that light up. she likes them so much this morning the first thing she asked after got up is to put on those shoes.

慢慢开始说话了

昨天接amy回家，我在后座和她玩儿，想起她最喜欢监督家人举动，没事儿就问，妈妈doing? 爸爸doing? (句子太长，what is 被她省略了）。就反问她，what is 爸爸 doing? 一般情况下她就跟我傻笑一下，结果她居然说，爸爸开车！吓我这一大跳。

到家了，她还有点咳嗽，自己咳嗽完了，无限怜悯自己的说，my goodness.

FULL SENTENCES

amy昨天说了非常像模像样的英语：
babby is reading a book.
amy did it her......self.
两句都太长，中间要喘喘气。

strep

yesterday when i picked amy up from daycare,she had a 100 degree temperature, and kept coughing.
then at night, her temperature spiked to 102.
today i was very reluctant to go to the ped' s office.cuz i was convinced he'd tell me it's some virus and just wait it out.
luckily hubby persuaded me to take her to the ped.it turns out to be strep.now she's on anti-biotics.
i think there are at least 200 days out of a year amy's on anti-biotics. :(

自言自语

21个月有余了，amy的说话“天才”才开始爆发，经常自说自话。

拿起一本书来要求念，急性子，还没念完呢，自己就胡噜胡噜翻到最后一页，宣布，“me end" (the end说不好，成了me end).然后命令，“again!again!",你还没来得及反对呢，人家自己就回答，"好～!"或者，"ok!"。

早上起来醒了，我懒得理她，在赖床，人家就自己和自己玩儿。墙上的湿度计被她称作，clock!然后汇报上面的几个喜欢的数字，8～6～not 9! 6~ green 8~ red 2! not 5!red 2~如此这般，可以玩儿十分钟，然后想起我给她念的书，giraffe tired!amy tired! mommy tired! babby tired!

昨天和她爸爸念书，爸爸讲完一个惊险故事，人家感慨，my goodness! 然后拿起另外一本书，how about this? 爸爸笑她，how about it? 便回答，my goodness。

bday party 二三事

姐妹

amy的一个好朋友,叫lucia的,胖胖乎乎,结结实实,每次吃饭都吃个底儿掉,我很喜欢.party这天,姐姐sophia也来了,大她三岁,大眼睛忽闪忽闪,机灵可人儿.lucia就和我小时候缠着姐姐一样,被sophia领着过来过去.
那里有个超大的滑梯,充气的,连上去的楼梯也是充气的,有点陡,还滑,每次上去,我都得托着amy的屁股,别人家的小宝,则是被抱过去的.sophia可不管这些,拖着lucia连滚带爬的上去.lucia怎么也得有个33/34磅的样子,瘦瘦的姐姐最多比她多个十来磅,紧紧的攥着lucia的胖手,就这么一步一停的拖上去,lucia一步一滑,每摔一个大跟头,就小声说,sorry, sophy, sorry, sophy,然后爬起来再和姐姐走.爬到上面,sophia吃力的把大胖子lucia放在自己的小瘦腿上,轻轻的嘱咐,ready?GO!!!两个人一起滑下去.lucia摇摇晃晃的站起来,拉着姐姐,again!again!
我托着amy跟在后面,想起了自己跟屁姐姐的岁月,感触良多.


mean

这次认真的见识到,什么叫,七岁八岁狗也嫌.party里,1个月到10岁的孩子都有.小的都憨态可鞠,大的都谦恭有礼,就是有这么一批不大不小尴尴尬尬的,讨厌.爬滑梯的时候,不管前面的小宝能力有限,推推搡搡,甚至从lucia头上跨过去.在bounce house里面,大呼小叫,有一个甚至坐在了amy腿上,也不说sorry.开饭了,一个女生甚至说,it would be nice to have a cold beer! 六岁啊才.吃完了,还要大声感慨一下,i don't like the cake at all, it's yucky!转过脸来,才看到,这个女生的妈妈怀里,静悄悄的躺着一个小宝.我想,每个孩子,mean,都是有理由的吧.

shy or not

amy很少参见类似活动 (这其实是第一次.//blush),刚进门的时候有些局促.寿星jordan热情的招呼我们,AMY!AMY!小人儿还不好意思的躲在我腿后面.后来又一个宝,avory来了,更腼腆,扒着我不松手,不允许jordan给她盖stamp.avory的姥姥就说,she's a shy kid.等到开玩儿了,没有一个shy的.avory姥姥年事已高,上不去滑梯,旁的妈妈,谁抱都可以,没看见avory吭哧一声,下来了就拉着陌生人,说,again!again!lucia累了,去喝juice, sophia的母性光辉无处释放,就改拖amy到处跑,amy从来不让人碰的,跟着sophia到处玩儿,看都不看我一眼.所以说,没有shy kids吧我想.:)

我也见过救火队了

我是个丢东西成性的人。孩子养这么大了，没丢过，曾经很得意来着。这自然是要有报应的。老天挑了一阵子，挑在了今天，LD生日，来报，以便加深印象，防止再犯。

要说老天还够意思，没让我真把孩子丢了，就是让我把她锁车里了，吓唬吓唬我。

话说今天下午，AMY幼儿园班上一个胖宝生日，选在一个叫PUMPITUP的地点来开PARTY。大型充气娱乐一屋子，主客尽兴，按下不表。出得门来，100多度高温，车里像蒸笼。把小人儿扔到后座，人家自己都直嘀咕，HOT！HOT！为娘的自然不忍心，先打着了火儿，开开空调，再来BUCKLEUP，放音乐，找饼干，等等。忙完了，从副座儿爬出来，关上门，便傻了眼，不知何故所有的门都锁上了，书包啊手机啊都在里面。

旁边车一个妈妈好心肠，也冷静，说，我在这儿看着她，你进去找黄页本打电话。飞奔进得屋来，语无伦次了已经。前台帅哥拿出黄页本，说，你找LOCKSMITH电话，我来报警。我跟RESIDENTIAL LIST那部分没有头绪的乱翻了半天才发现找错了地方。帅哥也看出我不能思考了，TAKE A DEEP BREATH DEEP BREATH，提醒我半天，估计是怕我晕倒在现场。冷静下来，才想起来是周六，5点以后，哪里去找LOCKSMITH阿？再次深呼吸深呼吸。帅哥及时的提供好消息，救火队马上就到。这才放了一点心，再跑出门外。

看着AMY的妈妈说，她很开心阿。我趴窗户上一看，可不，车里空调小风吹着，偶像WIGGLES唱着，小人儿嚼着饼干，还频繁给窗外阿姨OFFER一两块。后来在等救火队过程中，N个妈妈过来安抚，人家都以皇族检阅的姿态挥手微笑致意。甚至表演假装不好意思，你好，再见等等技巧。结果，整个一个趴车场，只有我一个着急的，剩下的全都乐不可支。

英明神武的救火队大概3分钟后到(感觉上已经半个钟头儿了) ，三个好汉抄着电视上我们常看见的偷车工具就过来了，一个在副座那边偷车状，两个人在司机这边，拿充气的袋子把门垫高一条缝，伸一根铁丝进去或拉门栓或捅门锁，大概10分钟，门便开了。其间，小人也少不了跟人家打打招呼，OFFER一下饼干，等等。

此次惊险历程，到此结束。估计这一场惊吓下来，短期内孩子是丢不了了。

Jordan's birthday party

this is the first birthday party amy (and, i //blush) ever goes to. amy had a lot of fun. they hold the party at a place called "pumpitup". kids can play with all kinds of cool stuff that's inflated there. like a bouncing house, a huge slide and a basket ball court etc. amy played with lucia, avory, and sophia, lucia's sister, nonstop for about 75 minutes. i've never seen her this happy. i can even leave her to other people and she won't object. actually, sophia dragged her along all the time, she didn't even check if i was around.
for me, this is one exhausting afternoon, amy''s still too little to climb up that huge slide all by herself. i have to push or drag this 30lb meetball somehow. what made it worse is that everytime after we got down to the bottom of the slide, she'd yell, again! again! again! i think today i had more exercies than i did during the last year.

与影子作战

AMY曾经狠爱她的影子,出门就要找找,天气不好看不到还要怅然一番.
不过大小姐这个脾气也是难说的,所以最近开始和影子作战起来,原因不明.

早上出去,看到影子,坑坑吃吃厌恶的叫,"AMY! AMY!" (你又来了?讨厌?!)
迅速的转身,嗖~的一声,再转回来.(咦?怎么还在?),改叫别的,"MOMMY!MOMMY!"(赶它走啦!)
妈咪在旁边看得乐不可支,哪里会理她.只好自己再想办法.
猛的蹲下,用手使劲推它,"MINE!MINE!"(我的地盘,你不要占!咦?好像推不动哦...)
回头求助的看妈妈一眼,妈妈假装没看到,"BIRDIE~amy你要不要看birdie?"
只好猛的又站起来,高抬脚,轻落步.(我腿抬得高高的,你就跟不上了.55555555怎么还在啊)
(那我只好用喊的了啊!) "AMY NO! AMY NO!"(说了你不要跟着我的嘛!)
MOMMY~~~~~~~~55555555555555555555
眼泪都下来了.这一仗,AMY输. :D

联想

早起去散步，小人儿解说各种颜色，BLUE CAR，RED豆豆(谁扔的糖豆儿)，YELLOW 滑梯，BROWN YUCKY(DOGGIE CRAP)，ORANGE ！@#$%^&...
这最后一个无论如何我也翻译不出来，就问她，什么是ORANGE的啊？
人家变换乱七八糟的语气助词排列顺序来给我讲解，ORANGE&*^%$@！
仍然不得要领，再问。反复几次，彼此都很疲劳。

小人儿毕竟年轻，力气还大着呢，没完没了的嘀咕，ORANGE！ORANGE！ORANGE！
(就ORANGE了，你怎么着吧？！)
念了一阵，开始走音，ORANGE， ORANGE，ALBERT！(话外音：联想开始)
ALBERT是新来的小朋友，每天在幼儿园8小时，用去大概7个半小时哭喊妈妈。
小人儿自然要评价一下，ALBERT！呜呜呜呜呜......
AMY！ 哈哈哈......(但是AMY很开心)
MOMMY！哈哈哈......(MOMMY也跟着一起幸灾乐祸)
爸比！SLEEP！(要是醒着的话爸爸也会邪恶的笑)
TUBBY TUBBY！SLEEP！(出门前缠着要看TELETUBBIE，我跟她说，在睡觉，这会儿全想起来了)
TUBBY TUBBY！
家家！(我要回家找TUBBY TUBBY！)
画画！(但是妈妈一定不会给我看，所以就画一个吧)
此时，一只狗狗路过，联想结束。

非常好胡弄

爱上teletubbies有日子了.最近她爸给她借了baby mozart,我们俩文盲觉得这个应该更educational吧,就剥夺了她再看creepy sun得权利.
结果人家只是偶尔想起来,会深情的呼唤:tubby tubby~
我就给她画几个,一样可以满意得玩儿半天.:D

分清楚bus和truck

原来狠容易啊.
爸爸给画了几张画,立刻就分清楚了.白废我那么多口舌.-_-
现在坐在车上,就忙着找bus和truck了.有时候truck上面有广告,就要格外的忙一些,truck~ white truck~ cracker~中间掺杂很多乱七八糟的语气助词.我跟她爸爸汇报说我们快说句子已经很长时间了,还是在说自己国语言.

More and again

once upon a time, amy couldn't tell the difference between "more" and "again". Even when she wanted me to tickle her, she'd say or/and demonstrate by her sigh language, "more". i used to tease her by saying, what do you want more? and then she'dtry to answer me, got distracted and forget what she wanted originally.
today, she finally figured out when to say "again". it's such a nightmare! i couldn't even distract her any more! somehow the book "moster inc" was especially fun to her today. she literally asked me to read it to her 20 times! at first, the "again" request was so cute cuz it's her first "again". towards the end, i had to ask her for her milk cuz i was so thirsty from reading it.

Took amy to the little gym yesterday

she didn't want to leave. cried at the inside door, lying on the floor (first
time ever for her to do this in public). then cried at the outside door. then
refused to go on the car, run back towards the door.
they definitely should put her on their commercial.

报告爸爸

AMY老流鼻涕，带她去看。大夫给清理EAR WAX，疯狂大哭了一气。
为了安抚她受伤滴心灵，我就把手机给她玩儿。
结果，就出现酱紫一个场面：
AMY大摇大摆的从诊所出来，一边匆匆而行，一边老练的举手机在耳朵边，说，
爸爸～爸爸～面面！
医生问她，你给你爸汇报什么好消息呐？AMY居然白人家一眼，那意思，你捣什么乱？！

bus, or not bus

为人父母，需要些个急智，白痴型儿的，经常捉襟见肘，比如说我。

家里这个小人儿，话不多，问题不少。词汇不够，全靠语气表情找补。
小时候好胡弄，应对起来不需要什么智商，会跑的一概是CAR，小人儿满足得嘻嘻笑笑，蛮好。幼儿园阿姨多事儿，非得多教很多东西，什么BIKE啊，TRAIN啊，交通工具一个儿一个儿的给我们介绍，给我填堵。到了BUS这里，问题来了。

回家路上，小人儿在后座雀跃：BUS~BUS~WHITE BUS~我一看，什么啊，eighteen wheeler啊。就解释，这个太大了，BUS是比较大，可是没有这么大啊，要一般大的那种。
说时迟那时快，一辆UHUAL嗖的过去，BUS~BUS~WHITE BUS~ 这个。。。这个。。。妈妈没解释清楚，黄色的才是BUS，YELLOW的。◎＃￥％……※×小人儿脸上出现完全不能理解的表情。我自己也冷汗直流......这个好像说不过去哈？
现世报马上就到，居然TMD开过一个PENSKE卡车聚集地。小人儿眼多尖啊，不能便宜了妈妈，得意的大叫，BUS~BUS~YELLOW BUS~ -_-!!!!
解释不清楚我们就来强的吧，灌输，我们全面灌输可以吧？AMY你听妈妈说哦，那个不是BUS，那个叫TRUCK，BUS有各种颜色的，TRUCK也是，可以是YELLOW的也可以不是。从后视镜偷看小人儿，自己在嘀咕，NOT BUS, NOT YELLOW...
上了高速，终于，FINALLY，一辆REAL BUS在前方，AMY你看～BUS~人家认真的看了看说，BUS...not BUS... yellow... not yellow...

小爸爸小妈妈

和AMY一起看照片，看到我姐，小人犹豫了一下，说，MOMMY~
非常FLATTERED的我谦虚的问她，妈妈有这么好看吗？
人家清脆的回，NO～ -_- 不用这样爽快吧？
无奈何，只好告诉她真相，这个，是，小姨。
（嗯。我姐为什么是小姨啊？long story, don't ask)
AMY狠困惑的说，NOT阿姨，NOT阿姨。中间掺杂我完全不懂的语气助词一百来个。
努力的想告诉我，这个，不是那天来看我的阿姨啊～
和她解释半天，小姨，小姨，这个是小姨，和一般的阿姨不一样的，是亲人。
看表情好像还是似懂非懂。
过了一会儿，爸爸妈妈的照片出来，AMY非常有见地的说，小姨，小爸爸～小妈妈～
嗯。亲人非亲人的概念看来还是掌握了滴。
