Happy Trick-or-treating!

小孩的智慧

Fall
终于到了周末，周五接了Cynthia回家，进家门的前走过树下飘来几片金黄的树叶，小姑娘抬头，说, now I know why it (this season) is called Fall, it is really falling....

Leader
Cynthia现在在班里是最第二大的，老妈试图看看她有没有learship, 问她：who is the leader in your classroom?

闺女问，what does that mean?

老妈答，leader is the one in class everyone else likes to follow.

闺女恍然大悟，干脆的说，oh, I see, Teacher!

俺继续问，I mean any kid in classroom everyone else wants to follow?

闺女不假思索的说，Nobody!

Foggy day 
这天早晨天气非常foggy. 早起上学，邻居Arthur很少见的出来遛狗。巧的是Cynthia从来没见过Arthur,以前都是他的partner Tom来遛狗。她很好奇look, a man walks Tom’s dog. 我说Tom和Arthur是family.闺女很困惑于两个男人组成的家庭，Does he only come out on foggy days? 老妈一阵寒气。。。

秋游 on Columbus day

Sally visited us from Boston on Columbus Day. We spent 5 hours in bike trail. 

 After a whole rainy week, mushroom thrived in the forest. For all of us, this is the first time ever to see such a variety of mushrooms.  

上周下了一周的雨，树林里很多很多各式各样的蘑菇，我们都是这辈子第一次看到这么多样的蘑菇

Wild berry, Cynthia told me, "you cannot eat them!"

小美女

能说会道的闺女

Communication skill

闺女玩，喜欢跑到closet里找出我的鞋胡乱穿上，我突然想起来以前有双给她买的鞋，买错了号，T6买成了Girls 6. 懒的退，刚好拿出来当玩具，跟我鞋差不多大。跟娃解释两句，娃问，why didn't you return it? 我说，i am too lazy. I guess you can still wear it one day.  娃看着套在脚上的硕大鞋子，平静的继续说，you are right. only four more inches to grow, then it will just fit me perfectly.
Nerdy老妈现在要拜师Cynthia 学说话skill.


A+

娃这学期开始上中文学校，以前一个中文不说，上了中文学校马上对中文兴趣颇大。每天回来就高兴的汇报自己得了几个A+.有一天回来，娃自己夸，I got all A+. 我翻她的中文课的folder,有一个连线题，三个column, 中间一个是中文数字，左边是若干苹果，右边是若干玩具，明显娃没理解老师让中间和左右column对应的个数连线，结果把3个苹果和3个玩具连在一起了。这个老师没打分。我笑说，"这个也能得A+吗？明明有个mistake." 娃说，what mistake? teacher forgot to put a A+? 我顿时笑翻。

学中文
开学以后每天早起，睡不醒，早晨我学儿歌叫，起-床-了-，起-床-了-，娃闭着眼，翻个身，用同样的声调说， 妈妈， 太-困-了-，太-困-了-。基本上没怎么说中文的娃，突然冒个这个，我又要笑翻。。

从中文学校回来，跟我说，妈妈，然后说了一些水果。
我鼓励一下，说，以后要练习说句子。
cynthia很得意的说，妈妈，我爱你！ the end...

暑假和Evan playdate,找到一个湖里游泳的好去处

芭蕾课居然一个还真钢琴伴奏，老师是俄罗斯人，算是音乐舞蹈一起熏陶吧

biking是目前发现在最好母女运动，秋高气爽，bike trail景色秀美，娃后座上坐三个小时居然没意见，终于决定换了tag along wheel, 闺女过度很顺利

I can ride on Tag-along wheel!
