Copying

1。布莱森一年级. 学校教学生5个LIFE SKILLS：be respectful, take responsibility, always try your best, team work, (还有一个我忘了。）妈咪平时跟他讲道理，就尽量往这几个方向靠。 有一天，妈咪讲道要有团队精神。布莱森问：什么是团队精神呢？妈咪想了想，就打比方说。有一个在谈琴，还有一种情况是很多人在一起谈琴，这叫什么？布莱森说：COPYING!

2。圣诞节快到了，布莱森开始在计划圣诞树还有想圣诞老人。有一天，布莱森说：妈咪，圣诞节的时候你要记住不能开家里的FIREPLACE哦。 妈咪很困惑：那时为什么？布莱森:你要开火了，圣诞老人就没法从烟囱上下来我们家了。还有，圣诞老人从哪里离开我们家的？他不可能变小阿？我要把我写的日记放在圣诞树边上，圣诞来人会说我是很好的孩子，会给我很多礼物的。我还要把这几个箱子挪走 （在壁炉旁边），不然的话圣诞老人进不来的。

3。布莱森的字越写越差，妈咪买了一本很好的锻炼写字的本子，布莱森很高兴，兴致很高的模仿。妈咪也给他买了本很好玩的日记本，他开始写一些日记。 这一天，妈咪在厨房的TODO LIST上写一些字，布莱森就说妈咪写得不好，然后就说：你的字写得不好，你在不写好的话，也要拿那本描一描的书向我一样写。

Keenan at Marriot

During Labor day holiday in 2012, we went to stay a night in Marriot in Larkspur and visited Pt. Reyes lighthouse and Stinson Beach. In the morning of labor day, Mommy took Keenan to the cafe for breakfast while Brycen and Dad are still sleeping. We sat on a table with booth and enjoyed a good breakfast. Keenan likes sandwich with scrambled egg and bacon. He likes oranges juice and classic oatmeal too! Keenan eats and watch around, wave to people and pee-a-poo. He is such a cutie that people love to play with!

After breakfast is done, we went to walk around. On the way back when we passed the cafe again, Keenan walked into the cafe and directly to the table we just sat in the morning. An indian couple with a little toddler were sitting there. Keenan walked up and "chat" with them. He stretch out his feet trying to crawl up.... He is so adorable! Everyone can't laugh out out! He must believe that is "his" table.

Keenan like to walk around the hotel. Once he saw a door, he walked up, put his chin against the door and urge mommy to open the door. He must think that this is "His" room!

When we were at the beach, Keenan is a little bit scared about the ocean wave. He put his neck on mommy's shoulder and watch Brycen plays in the water!

what animal live in north pole?

Mom is reading a book about north pole to Brycen. In the end of the book:
Mom: what animal lives in north pole?
Brycen: north pole...
Mom: what else?
Brycen: hmm.. I know! Santa! Santa lives in north pole. He made gifts for us and send us in Christmas.

What will work for you

Lately, Brycen has been such a wonderful boy! You acts out less, listen better and control better. Mommy's positive encouragement really works! One day, seeing Brycen so patiently taking good care of brother, helping mommy a lot. Mommy praise him again.
Mommy: Brycen - Mommy noticed that lately you cried less, listen more and has been very helpful for Mommy. Thank you.
Brycen: Thank you Mommy for saying nice words. Sometimes, when you say bad words or shout at me, it really hurts my feeling. Again, thanks for saying nice words.
Mommy: Sorry. But sometimes you did something wrong. Mommy gets very mad.
Brycen: But you can ask me to stop and use the word "Please".
Mommy: all right. I should use nice word "PLEASE" I am sorry. but sometimes even when I gave you warning and asked you to stop. You did not stop but kept doing that.
Brycen: Sometimes I really feel bad. But if you could use nice words say "Please go to your room to enjoy the clock sound. Come out after you feel better. OK?" That is nice words and I would listen. That won't hurt my feeling.
Mommy feel shocked. Yeah how many times we as parent could not control ourselves and just bursted out before kids do. We set a bad example for kids and did not show respect to kids. Now kids know what work best for him and find a way out of there. I am so sorry sweet heart. Mommy and daddy will do this better! Thank you for telling me before you get too old to talk to me what you need. What a wonderful boy I am having. I can't feel be blessed more!

Happy Father's Day - Ching~~~~~

Yesterday is the Father's day. We really do not celebrate anything. In the afternoon, mommy went out shopping with Brycen. He saw a fly swatter and wanted it. Mommy said- oh, it's $1.69. We probably can get it $99 cents in dollar store or ranch 99. But Brycen said he really want it. In the end of the shopping, Brycen asked - mommy, it's father's day, what kind of gift can we give to Daddy?
Mommy: You already gave daddy something already. We don't have to buy him something. (He did some arts in school and did a ceramic -shark mouth).
Brycen: I really want to give Daddy something.
Mommy: What do you want to give out?
Brycen: Let me think.... Oh, I have an idea! how about the fly swatter?
Mommy LOL: why is that?
Brycen: Yes because I really want to...
We got a fly swatter...
When we got home:
Brycen to Dad: Happy Father's day, this is a gift to you! Ching~~~ [Brycen made a swat with the fly swatter in front of daddy]
Daddy: what is that?
Brycen: this is to fight with the fly. You are the one has the most strength in our house. You should have it! That's why!

LOL! how cute it is! I can't think of anything more creative than this!

what will work for you?

不赖森有时候非常的伤心难以控制情绪。 妈咪在一边看着， 根本不知道该怎么样对付。 爹地在一边幸灾乐祸， 更是让人非常讨厌。 妈咪问不赖森，你希望妈咪怎么做才能让你停止哭闹。 不赖森说： 你可以说： what will work for you? 他希望： you need to hug me, a lot of hug. That will help a lot. and say I love you.

小乖乖的情感世界丰富的远远超出父母的想像。 你知道什么是可行的， 你的感受是怎么样的。 妈咪没有给你足够的拥抱和鼓励特别在你情感是最难控制的时候， 是妈咪爹地不对。 妈咪以后会做得更好的。
