陽陽很愛踢被子
Daddy: 陽陽, 你那麼愛踢被子, 爸爸用一塊布(台語ㄐ - ㄉㄟˋ - ㄅㄛˋ) 把你包起來好了, 以免受涼.
John: Why use staple? It will be really hurt...
Daddy: What?

每次回台灣, Amani就會把車子借給我們用.
陽陽: 這是我們的車, 對不對, 爸比?
爸比: 以前是ㄚ, 但是我們賣給舅舅了ㄚ.
(陽陽很喜歡車,每次車子不開停在路邊時陽陽都會跑到駕駛座假裝自己在開車)

星期六那天, 我們回宜蘭, 車子開過雪山隧道, 好多朵漂亮的白雲飄在好藍的天上. 陽陽和媽咪沿路上一直說著ㄋㄚˋ裡有rabbit, dog, dragon, monster, car... 很漂亮的景色, 沒有污染的天空是這樣的美麗. 不禁得讚美上帝創造萬物的神奇! 很久沒看到這樣的藍天了. 對陽陽來說, 應該是他懂得表達以來第一次他看到如此漂亮的天空!
就在媽咪說完ㄋㄚˋ裡又有monster的時候, 陽陽說了一句 "No wonder you want to be Taiwan People, the sky is so beautiful!" 有點無厘頭, 漂亮的天空跟台灣人有甚麼關係? 原來陽陽以為我們以做台灣人為榮, 因為只有在台灣他可以看到這樣無瑕的天空.
仔細想想,可不是嗎?

Kids love Mcdonalds. Don't understand why. One time, John mentioned he wanted to eat Mcdonalds and we told him we ate Mcdonalds only if we do not have anything to eat.
Couple months ago, we went to bank to set up another investment accounts. When everything was done, it was around 1pm. Tim and I was discussing where to eat and we came to a conclusion of buying Mcdonalds. When John heard the WORD, you could see his face turn to smiling. But he suddenly remembered the phases of "eat Mcdonalds only if we do not have anything to eat" and he asked me, "Mom, I though we eat Mcdonalds only if we do not have anything to eat". I told him because it was 1pm and we were not home yet. We did not have anything to eat now so we could eat Mcdonalds. He was quite satistified with my answer because he could eat Mcdonalds for the first time after he was born.
Few weeks later, we were back to Shanghai. One Sunday evening, Tim and I was discussing what to eat. We discussed for quite a long time but could not come to a conclusion. I was not intensionly saying there was nothing to eat. Suddently, a voice came out "Then, let's go to Mcdonalds because we do not have anything to eat"...
Last week, we took him to National Museum of Natural Science. We visited most of the exhibitions and watched 3D theater and Space theater included John's favorate "dinosaurs". We spent a day there and it was quite full of excitment. On the way home, Tim asked John which one he felt the most fun...

去年讓小朋友參加了當地的暑期才藝幼稚園, 今年讓他參加了英式的兒童夏令營. 總覺得太強調學習, 缺乏讓小朋友適應新環境的活動設計與協助.
回想自己大學時期帶領救國團的自強活動或基層文化服務隊的經驗, 不論內容或花費, 總覺得遠比當下的才藝班或兒童夏令營好.
將來若有機會, 應當將過去自強活動及基層文化服務隊的經驗, 結合家長讓小朋友參加才藝班或兒童夏令營的期許. 做一個更好的發揮.
目的:

Playing cards become one of John's favoriate games now. He like to play picking red points (撿紅點), big 2 (大老二), sorting from 7 (排七), "heart-attack" (心臟病), and 21 points (21 點) sometimes.
picking red points (撿紅點) and 21 points can help him practicing adding numbers.
sorting from 7 (排七) can help him learning priority setting.
heart-attack (心臟病) can help him to focus and response quickly.

John know the age differences between he and mommy. He also like to wash hairs at the same day with Erica.
One day, we went to cut hairs and thus didn't need to wash hairs at home again.
John was angry as he needed to wash hairs that day.
I recalled some articles used to say that laugh is good for health.

This year, John started understanding "red envelop" was not just an envelop but can be used to pay for something he wanted. He counted how many he got and wanted to use it for some of good he wanted to buy. He does not have any idea about how much it is inside of the "red envelop". He just knows how many he has.
Because of this, we told him to make good use of his red envelop because he would not have received any red envelop until next new year. In the beginning, he did not know how to manage (because he thought "19" envelop was many and it would be take a long time to use it up) so he decided to use 7 of them when we were in Taipei. However, one day, he counted he had used 7 and there would be 12 left only...and he realized there was 12, no longer 19...
It had been 5 months now after Chinese New Year. John had used additional 5 more included one for Myanmar flood donation. He would control his desire and only buy those things he really wanted.
I do not know if this is good or bad for a little kid at age 5. But at least we have observed he knows to value the things we bought and use his "money" more carefully...

Weather becomes hotter now. Ice Cream becomes a reward to John. After shower, John had few scoops of ice cream but he still felt not enough.
John: Mommy, I want more scoops.
Mom: 好呀!你可以再吃一點點.
John: Okay, ... then three scoops.
