Didi is two years old today. Happy Birthday, Didi!
I was very excited for his birthday. I woke up before him. Once I heard he was awake, I went to his bed and sang Happy Birthday to him. He seemed that he didn't care. Mom took us to the Science musum. We played with the other playmates. We had crispy cream for our desert. They seemed all liked it. Afternoon while Didi took nap, Mom and I started making cake for him. This year, I participated more---cracking the egg, open the mix pacakge,pour the oil and water, mix the flour, and grease the pan. I also thought about what kind of shape of the cake we should make and what kind of animal pattern we should design since he liked animals so much. Anyway, finally, we just put some chocolate cookies on the top of the cake. We thought it was a good pattern for a cow.
we went to see a movie called wolves in the Omni Theater. It was fun. Hugh liked it very much.

Around Thanksgiving, Mom and I started studying Phonics based on a book. There are 100 lessons. We have studied 41 of them. On Christmas, they even bought me another two sets of phonics books. Each one has 10 books. I have read 5 of the level 1 set. It is nice that you can read yourself. haha.. Each time, after I read one whole book all by myself, I will get a sticker. It is great! I am looking forward to finishing the 100 lessons.

we had a wonderful trip to SC and certainly we also had a great time with Yeye and Nainai.
We planned to drive three days each way, but we made it in two days. It all owned to our excellent behaving in the car. We didn't call Yeye and Nainai when we would arrive. We just showed up at their door at 11:00pm. It was nice to see Yeye opening the door and embraced us into his arms.
While we were there. We went to the Myrtle beach and the zoo in NC. We also drove around the town to see the schools where Dad went. We went to a movie for the New Year. We enjoyed watching movie with family. Then we spent most time at home, eating delicious food, watching TV,playing with Yeye and Nainai. I always asked whether they were dad's toys whenever they brought out toys for us to play. Both Hugh and I played a lot of puzzles.
Certainly, on Christmas Day, we got a lot of gifts,too.
On the way back, we stopped at Atalanta. We went to the Acquriam there. It is nice to see the big whaleshark and the stingray. I even patted one stingray. In Dallas, we had a wonderful Chinese food for dinner.

The end of 2009 is nearer and nearer, Christmas and New Year is coming,too. In order to celebrate Jesus's Birthday, we had two advent callender this year. Didi got the same one as I had last year from the FBC. I got the one from Nainai---puting on the decoration on a Christmas tree to count down the birthday. I like it.
Tonight Chinese church has the Christmas program. We sang two songs. This year both Didi and I got on the stage. We performed very well. In fact, Didi did great even though it is his first time and he is the youngest one. It seems that people enjoyed it very much ,too.
Hurray for us!!!
We will go to visit Yeye and Nainai. It will be a long drive. We are expected to behave good. We will try. haha...
As I observed, Dad and Mom did buy us a looot of food, fruits and drinks. Certainly, they also packed a lot of books, DVDs,too.
ok, We wish you'all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New year!

Sunday, we had a baby dedication for my brother. Even though he is not a baby anymore, my parents still wanted to do it before he grows up too much. haha.. He was dressed up as a gentleman. He couldn't wear the dress from my Dad's grandfather's when he was dedicated. But luckily, I got to wear it, which is more than 100 years old. haha..

These two weeks, it has been pretty cold. Till today, we saw the beautiful snow--a very thin layer on the ground.This morning, we did as quick as we could to go out to have some pictures and have a symbolized snowfight before it was melted. haha...We are looking forward to have some real haevy snow like at Laolao and Laoye's home.

Thursday we went to the Parenting Cottage monthly meeting with Mom. This month their topic is about nutrition. While Mom were listening to the lecture about nutrition for kids, we were helped to make a platemat and a chef hat.
Mom was encouraged by the lecture and decided to improve the food quality of our family ---to ballance our nutrition with right amount of meet, vegetables,fruit and so on. we will see. Certainly, parents should be a good example.
We did practice our cooking skill on Friday. I enjoyed using the food cutter and the coloring. The food did tast better when you cook yourself. haha..

Didi is funny. Most time he is very brave, but these days, sometime he becomes timid or he often scares himself. For example, he will say "lang lai le, jiuming a!" (The wolf is coming, Resecue!) Or " Eyu lai le ,chi ni la !" ( The corocodile is coming to eat you!) Even while he is playing, he will say that and run to Mom. Oh, one more thing, Didi could distinguish "I" or "you" right now. That is really impressed to my parents. They said it took me a long time to figure out that.
" You are my Mommy, I love you. Don't sad look at me. I go downstair. I quiet and lay down. You is my Mommy." haha. this is what I wrote to my Mom this afternoon. Ok, let me tell you the whole story. Today she took us to the park. We played there a lot. When it was our naptime, we came back. She just expected us to take a nap as usual. But we were too excited and plus the fall time changed, we just didn't want to sleep. She became very upset. For a while, she tried to leave us alone and she hid herself in her room. So I wrote down this poem on the stairs in my special writing style. Later, I showed my Mom and told her what I wrote. Then she copied down what I read to her. After she read and listened what I wrote, her anger was gone.

In the morning we went to a farm where there was corn maze. The wheather is great. We four really enjoyed waling in the maize ( certainly there were occasions when you took wrong way. It was frustrated.) We chose two sets of questions. one is Biblical questions, and another one is kiddo questions. haha.. Didi and I walked most part of the maze. And we really enjoyed looking for the numbers and answering the questions, then choosing the direction. It took us one and half hour to go through the maze.
We did take the cow train. It was fun. But Didi kept sing the song from the DVD "the wheel on the bus". He also kept doing bumping while we took the ride.
We did go to see the animals, but it was disappointed. There were no cows, which were Didi want to see. In fact, before we went, he also mentioned that he wanted to see crocodile. I think he confuses farm with zoo. haha..
On the way back we took a good nap. This is a good preparation for us to go trick or treating in the mall in the evening. We liked walking around to get candies. Once Didi got some, he just started eating. I wanted to get more. Later I was really tired. I also wanted to stand on the stroller with Did, but unluckily, I dumped my candy box, so all my candies fell on the floor. Immeditately several girls came to pick up the candies. I was really scared that they would take them away. But they didn't. Instead, they kindly put the candies into my box. This really calmed me down a lot. Or all people in the mall would hear my crying.
On the way back home, we got treat from Daddy,too. He took us to the Crispy Cream. So we got a dozen doughnuts plus free samples. haha...
Once we got home, we cut on the light at the front door, showing that we had treat. This year, we did have a lot of kids. I enjoyed giving them the treat. I wanted to be nice to them because we were treated nicely in the mall. But some bigger kids saw me ( a little girl ) who was giving the treat, they would not come and turned around and left. That is pitty.
PS. I really don't like the spooky decoration or the costume. I think my ladybug and Didi's black cat are good enough.
