Wet Day At School

Billy led dada to his classroom.

Yeah! That's my name on the horsie.

Last Thursday, Billy’s school celebrated Independence Day with water day. Parents and families are also invited to the event. Billy’s dada had been so nice to take half a day off from work to come to the event. Thank you dada! It was lots of fun. What is more fun than playing in the water in a hot summer day, huh! The pictures tell it all! Happy 4th of July, everyone!

I love the sprinklers!

Mommy was showing me how to wash a car.

Beep! Beep!

Oh no! Gas prices go up again!

Now I have to work harder.

Okay, lets go to work, guys!

Snack time.

Yummy berry juice.

The Ants Go Marching

Just recently a friend has given Billy a couple of books as a gift. One of the books is 'The Ants Go Marching.' Yup, the popular children's song. Billy loves the book very much. About two weeks ago instead of reading him the book, his dada sung the song while Billy pointed at the letters. He loves it even more. It is his favorite song ever since. He would hums the song most of the time and of course with just one word for the whole song.... woorah!...woorah!...woorah!

The woorah! woorah singer.

Billy First School Photo

Got Billy's school composite photo early this week. The two row on the top are their wonderful teachers. Seem like too many students in the class....hihi! Nope, they are in two different classes.

It's Bath Time, Mom!

Bath time is another one of Billy's favorite time. In the spring and summer, Billy could stay longer in the tub. :-)

Enjoying his bath time.


In the summer he would have his small swimming pool out in the yard. It would be more exciting than just in the bathtub....yeaah! :-))

Enjoy Being Outdoor!

Mommy, look what I found?

Playing with his school bus.

It's Friday and it's 'no school' day for Billy. The weather was very good, a little windy but it still a nice day to go outside and get some sun. Billy enjoys being outside especially on his swing and just recently on the slide. It was just last week dear hubby noticed how brave and confident he was on the slide. He just let go of his dada's hand and off he went sliding down on his own. Normally he would hold tight to our hand while he is sliding. He must have learnt it from school. :D

OH? What's happening?

It was a breezy morning yesterday. Billy was so excited watching the whole bunch of dried leaves pouring down from the trees like rain. He really enjoyed it very much. At first he stops and looked up with 'Oh! what is happening?' on his face. But second later he must have thought it was so exciting and he started jumping around until it's over. Funny little guy. :D

Yeah!!! It's fun.

This is really exciting!

Billy's First Time-out

Billy got his first 'Time-out' for not listening to his dada last weekend. He was dragging his car on the wall but his dada was not happy with it. Usually he would play his car on the floor or on his table but recently he got this new idea of trying to get it moves on the wall.



His dada asked him to stop doing it but he just ignored him. When his dada approached him, he even stomped his tiny feet on the floor...hihi. So his dada put him on 4 minutes time out. We were pretty surprised as he did not object to it and just sat there until his dada gets him out. His dada explained to him why the time-out but I was not sure if he really understood it. Do you think it is appropriate to start discipline at this age?

Billy's Text Message To Mommy

I had a big surprise this evening when I open my e-mail. Got this text message from dear hubby cell phone in my e-mail.

Jmmmdw wjzt x 9 w yn9w wyww w wwwwwttttttv0wwjmwnwmw6odpmmm

I asked dear hubby who was busy in the kitchen why he sent me such message. He denied sent it and wondering if Billy did it. And guess what? We caught Billy inside the bedroom playing with dada’s cell. So there you go. Guilty as charged!

I love you dada! Love you mommy!

How I Love Spring.

Two weeks ago we had an opportunity to bring Billy to the playground nearby. That was the first time we brought Billy to the playground this year. He was so happy, running around freely in the big compound, not really interested in any of the play equipment. I guess he is still too small to play with any of the equipment. Normally we let him play outside about four or five hours a week but on a very limited space as we do not have fences and the street is always busy. It’s about time to bring him out to the playground more often so he can have more space and opportunity to play with other children as well.

Teething....Ouch!!!

We are back in O.R now. Everything is back to normal again…yeah! Billy is going back to school. He is still recovering from the jetlag(San Francisco is 3 hours ahead of TN) but definitely is feeling so much better now. Last week had been a bad week for him and frustrated week for us. He is teething and we did not even notice it until I saw his second molars show up a few days ago. Perhaps that was why the irritability, crankiness, crying episodes and loose appetites while we were in San Francisco.


Frankly, we were puzzled of why every time we put him on the high chair in the restaurant, he cried and refused to sit. Let alone eat some food. For a couple of days, he pretty much lived of his favorite crackers. He never shows such bad behavior before. I am so happy he is taking food now. Well, he is still cranky some time but we understand him better now.

Waiting For School Van

This morning I decided to let Billy out on the porch while waiting for his school van. Here are some pictures of him at the porch...hihi! It was about 8.20am. Gloomy morning and supposed to be raining the whole day today…yuck! But it would not stop Billy from going and having fun in school.

Ready for school.
