Sweaters

Hazel was convinced that "Mommy would Looooooove one of these" I think she might have been projecting.

Games

Margot and I "played" a Peppa pig game tonight.

Kim put Hazels hair in a bun, then left for work. Margot was upset she didn’t get a "bun like ga-je". This was my attempt. It’s a ponytail folded in half. You know those feel good news stories about hair classes for dads? I need one.

“Me a pizza!!!!!”

Hide and seek

Hazels skills need some improvement

Ponies with Poppy

Last week Margot and I met up with Poppy and my friend Ryan for a trip to ride the ponies. Fun, and it was super cute that Margot was really exited to see Poppy. "Me like Poppy. Her nice". I’m struggling to find balance as I return to the "working world". I was itching to […]

Closed :/

Margot wailed when Kidspace was closed. She loves it there. Recovered quickly at the playground

Academy of Sciences

Hazel is excited to learn to dive in 5 years. They had a fish ID card and she was trying hard to find them all.

Hazel and Margot doing YouTube yoga

Margot loves playing with her GaJe. She happily squeezed ‘Yoga! Yoga!’

Tricycles

Playground

I was missing the girls today, so I quit work early and picked up the girls early for some playground time.

First day at preschool

First day of preschool. She picked her own clothes and insisted on a backpack like ga-je (big sister). I was nervous, I’ve never even been able to leave her at the Y kids area unless Hazel was with her. But she ran in excited, we’ve been talking about it for week. She sat down next […]

Reading Chinese

Hazel is trying to read this brochure Kim grabbed, and I’m amazed at how many Chinese words she can already recognize.

Water

I meant to include photo On Tue, Sep 20, 2016, 3:13 PM Kim <kimluujennings> wrote: Lol. Long attention span. I can just picture her little face so happy to do that.

Water

Margot has been filling the plate, then walking comically slowly around the table. Pour into funnel. Walk back, repeat. For a solid solid 30 minutes.

Margot needs sunglasses to read the fine print on the moon cake, just like Popo needs her reading glasses

Hazel made a stop motion video

At the Exploratorium in SF. She actually made a longer one, but it didn’t save. :/ Still cool. This place is awesome.

Margot drawing a “big octopus”

San Francisco

We are going to San Francisco tomorrow, for a week. Visiting friends this weekend, then the girls and I will be hanging out playing tourist while Kim attends a conference. The following weekend we will be up in Bodega Bay, north of Marin, at a surf kayak gathering. This morning, on the long drive to […]

Outfit

Hazel normally wears a uniform, but for "color week" she was supposed to wear something green today. Turns out she doesn’t have much. But she wore her old dress as a shirt, and her skirt that she still loves and was excited to get to wear them to school.

Hazels outfit

Hazel’s kindergarten normal has a uniform, but since they are learning the colors (in Mandarin) they have a color week where they get to wear non-uniform outfits with a color theme. Today was blue, and Hazel was super excited to wear her Peppa outfit to school. Thank you for the gift and mostly thank you […]

Nemo

Hazel made Nemo in a fish tank at her after school program. She said it was 100% her idea and execution. 🙂

Margot playing with stencils

Hazel doing simple addition worksheets for fun

Sisterly love

Hazel making flash cards as part of homework

Passion Fruit

Margot love, love, loves passion fruit. Good thing we have a ton in the garden.

Big kid swings

Margot said "Me want big swing like ga-je (sp?)"

Lovely night eating dim sum with the girls, gasp, by myself and on a school night!

Geoff had to work so we braved going out on our own. They were very well behaved and it was so fun and sweet sharing my love of dim sum with them. They both loved xiao long bao and the shrimp flat noodles. Hazel liked the shrimp dumpling insides and Margot liked the wrapper so […]
