Going back home in Oct

I'm so excited that I'm going back to China in 2 months!  Being away for 7 years, I probably can not find my way home.  There are so many things on my agenda. Meeting with friends, shopping, having hair cut... 
BTW, just saw a new bmw z4 roadster at the dealer while waiting for my car.  It's quite striking.

A working mom's dilemma

I bet all working moms feel more or less the same way I do.  On one hand, I really want to stay with my little princess, watching her every single movement.  On the other hand, I have to spend at least 9 hours (including commute) a day for my job which I can’t afford to lose both financially and emotionally.   Of course, I’m not saying that the Daddy is not doing his job.  Actually Perry is doing a lot too.  He’s working hard on both his full time job and GMAT for MBA program.  But as you know, Daddy is Daddy…

 

Anyway, this is the life.  As a friend of mine once said, time is like cleavage.  You squeeze it, then you’ll get some…  J  That’s exactly what I’m doing now- Email to blog 5 minutes before a meeting.   Em… that’s another reason l like Blogger.  I can email to blog using my blackberry when I am on the go (sounds like work for Google, but I’m not J ).

 

Finally, have to say something about Alexis (the main reason I started to blog).  I love her smile during sleep.  Every morning, after I feed her and change her diaper without waking her up, she smiles!  This really makes my day.  Such a good way to start a busy day!

 

宝宝今天居然会跳踢踏舞。

有模有样的哦，有录像为证哦。

宝宝的第一个国庆节

这两天国庆节放假，昨天一家人去了动物园。晨晨似乎对动物还没什么兴趣，倒是在停车场看到那么多车子时很兴奋地哼了几声，另外，小朋友可是真多。怀疑全Cleveland的小朋友都在同一天去了动物园。晨晨看到小朋友似乎也很兴奋，看狗熊的时候差点去拽前面一个小朋友的头发。
今天全家人又去湖边的沙滩上参加了一个party。和一群中国朋友混了一下午。看到满地乱跑的小朋友，才意识到我们的社交圈子也变了，再也不能和那些单身汉们party到半夜了。
真佩服那些有了孩子还每天blog的妈妈，我这从前都很少blog的人，生了孩子后真是有动力没时间。一切只能简单地一笔带过了。。。。

宝宝昨天乖极了

开心事一件，宝宝昨天晚上乖乖地在我的床上睡了一宿。从前她总是要在楼上外婆的床上睡，几次想把她挪到楼下，她都哭闹，昨天不知为啥终于就范。哈哈…

看医生,吃意大利餐

今天和妈妈一块儿带晨晨去医院检查身体，她刚上车时还有点紧张，妈妈马上拿出准备好的桃子，递到她嘴边。于是晨晨一路上出奇地乖，看来桃子的功劳可真不小哦。
到了检查室，按惯例又脱光了衣服去过秤，不知是因为桃子继续发挥作用还是因为外婆在一旁，晨晨连秤体重都不哭。检查完毕，医生连连夸奖晨晨健康漂亮又很乖，吊带裙又美，妈妈和外婆听了心里都美滋滋的。
这一路上见到晨晨的大人都很友好地称赞她一番，只有一人，貌似中东女人，竟然伸手对宝宝上下摸了一番。外婆和妈妈大惊失色。也不知道这女人是不是看病的病人，手上有没有细菌的说。待其走开后，妈妈和外婆急忙将晨晨带到卫生间，仔细洗了一番。之后在药房等药之际，又一4，5岁的小男孩上前对晨晨仔细看了看，我正担心他是不是也要伸手摸宝宝，只见他双手放到嘴边对晨晨做了好几个飞吻的手势。嘿嘿，我们家宝宝可真有人缘。小男孩接着又把自己随身带着的一大号米老鼠抱来，准备送给晨晨，我连忙推脱说这玩意太大，小妹妹太小，玩不了。 回头看看晨晨，她却已伸手准备去接了。汗。。。
因为宝宝今天表现超好，我和妈妈准备今天就在外面吃晚餐。机会难得，我决定带妈妈去吃意大利餐。进了餐厅，宝宝乖极了，拿了块面包自己安静地坐在我的膝盖上玩。不过看着我们吃这吃那，她馋极了。我们吃完正餐后，她竟然开始舔我们的盘子。又汗。。。
饱餐一顿后，我们3人都很开心，去取车的路上，宝宝开始引吭高歌。引人注目之极。。。
这一天真是忙并快乐着。

Fear Of Strangers

Alexis cried for 3 hours Saturday at my friend's party. I did nothing but holding her and trying to comfort her. However, no matter what I did, she just kept crying and crying. Finally we left the party early. The miracle is that she started to smile as soon as we got home and she was hold in the grandma's arms.Sunday two friends came over to our house. Alexis cried again as she saw their faces. She stared at them for a few seconds and then turned into crying.Em... I am searching on the Internet this morning, tyring to figure out what is happening to Alexis. Obviously, she's having so called Fear of Stranger. I do have a mixed feeling on this. For one thing, it is kind of embarassing when you can't comfort your own baby in front of your friends. Actually, Alexis is a very good baby. She's always very happy with us at home. On the other hand, Fear of Stranger also means stronger bonding between Alexis and us......
