第一次说完整句子

这周日说的第一个完整句子,“妈妈在这儿,爸爸在哪里?”妈妈赶忙大呼小叫的让爸爸来听,小姑娘看到爸爸进来,继续说到,"爸爸在这儿"。
宝宝最近狂练习指示代词。妈妈和衣躺在宝宝身边陪睡,这时爸爸进来找洗好的自己要带到波士顿去的衣服,嘴里念叨着,“我的裤子呢?”宝宝把妈妈盖在身上的被子拉开,指着裤子对爸爸大叫,“在这儿!”爸爸笑,“那是妈妈的裤子,爸爸的裤子呢?”。宝宝居然挣扎着蹭下床,指着爸爸穿着的裤子说,“在这儿在这儿”。

germ多多的初冬

刚过去的这三周真是让人体会带小朋友的艰难啊。13号那个周五,跃跃和妈妈同时开始拉肚子。妈妈体力不支周六几乎躺了一天,跃跃人还是很活跃,照样笑哈哈的在家里走来走去,就是两个小时带着diaper湿了三条裤子。给ped打了电话,推荐了电解水,周日一切恢复正常。谁知这才是小小预报,周二晚,向来体质强壮的跃跃突然发高烧,我清楚记得那天的日期,因为第二天要交个小proposal。虽然小,但是照样系主任院长签字一个不能少。以前带跃跃的樊奶奶没联系上,约了另一个阿姨送到她家给看一下。结果早晨把小家伙拾掇好,就差一个多小时就要去见ped。于是带到办公室,绑在stroller上,忙签字去了,几分钟回来就听见闺女的惊天动地哭的整个楼都听的见。

Ped诊断是croup,难怪早晨开始咳嗽。看完病,又准备送到那个阿姨家,结果从ped office里出来想超近道去阿姨家,居然走错了路,路上令人发指的绕了1个半小时,决定还是带宝宝去上班。要去交表,抱着宝宝,走哪里抱到哪里。总算是交了进去,3点多了,娃一大早出门到现在还饿着肚子,发烧也没劲儿闹,昏昏沉沉的睡。

傍晚电话打了一大圈找临时baby sitter给带第二天,因为妈妈早晨必须上课。爸爸一个朋友的太太推荐了一个没见过的阿姨。算是解了燃眉之急。还好跃跃不认生,第一次见面就高高兴兴跟阿姨玩。到了周五,烧退了,还有点小咳嗽,又能去幼儿园了。

结果妈妈到了周末又病了,发烧,还好接着的这周是thanksgiving.挺了三天就放假了。这个thanksgiving啊,接着发烧,咳嗽,卧床。可惜的是小朋友只好窝在家里陪妈妈,庆幸的是小姑娘没给传染上。

不要 and no

跃跃很早就学会了说 “不要”,同时还伴着不耐烦的摇头摆手大人样。吃东西,不要不要;喝牛奶,不要不要;睡觉,不要不要。进了daycare,小朋友都跟着学,跃跃亲拍别的小朋友,人家说“不要不要”。这边跃跃倒是学会了说 no no. 老师教跃跃,说“要,要”,同时还有sign language. 现在跃跃在家里,no no和要变成了口头禅了。

daycare 3-week report

It has been three weeks since Yueyue starts daycare. In the first week, she cries on and off for 4 days. We were really worried about it. In the second week, she cried when mom/dad dropped her (she still does, but stops crying right after mom disappears from her sight). She starts to act as normal in daycare in two weeks, shouting, laughing and playing with other kids. The transition length is normal. In the past three weeks, many things we were worried turns out unnecessary. Two teachers and assistant teachers are really nice to her and have never called parents to take her back even though on the fourth day she cries harshly, resisting to nap and throwing food to floor. They hold Yueyue, the youngest child in the class, a lot.

The best thing about daycare is yueyue's diet. Yueyue used to eat like a bird. Our babysitter Fan really loves Yueyue except for her diet. Whatever she tried, Yueyue wouldn't eat more than a few crackers from 9 am to 5 pm. Since she started daycare, she suddenly picked up her appetite. Her lead teacher describes her as “Oh, she is a GREAT eater, just eating, eating and eating.” In the daily report, very often she has three "Full serving" circled, morning snack, lunch and afternoon snack, at least two everyday. She really loves snacks provided by daycare. She starts to love a large variety of foods, such as milk and cereal, peanut butter bread.

The second best thing is Yueyue's sleep. Before daycare, she still had a lot of energy left after a day with babysitter and she liked playing with dad and mom so much. She won't go to bed easily. She always woke up a couple of times in the evening before she fell sound sleep. We spent a lot of effort to put her back to sleep again and again during night. Now, after a busy playing day, she goes to sleep quickly at 9 pm, mostly no wake-up during the night. Mom stills need company her to sleep, but that is the most pleasant time. Now mom starts to cherish the playing time on bed with her and worry the pleasant time getting too short.

In the past three weeks, one pink eye and one flu were reported in her class (9 children). Fortunately other children were not infected. Yueyue had seasonal flu vaccine but not debatable H1N1 flushot. Mom still nurses her. Hopefully this can do a little help to Yueyue for a healthy winter. Stay warm, my dear.
