Elliot's last day of school at Butterfly School (21st May 2009)

Thank you, Ms Sandra, Ms Jane, Ms Tracy and Butterfly School for taking such good care of Elliot. YOu'll be missed and we hope to see you again some day.

Playground in Summit

It usually started with opening the letterbox, then we'll walked to the playground, to let him get some exercise. This is one of his favourite activity.

S is for summer and swimming!

...and after all the swimming, my pants are too wet for me to walk...

Happy Elliot on a Carousel

He has been perstering us almost everyday, wanting to go on a carousel...

My 7 month old Meimei' and her laughter

A day at Fort Worth Stockyard

Elliot's first time on a merry-go-round ride. He was so stressed up, just check out his face expression. But he enjoyed it very much.

Mother's Day

From Mummy:
My very first Mother's Day gift from Elliot. But when I ask him who it is for, is it for Mummy? He replied, "No! It's mine! It's my finger painting" :(

当我老了

Taken from http://www.hoongkia.blogspot.com/, a very nice article about growing old.

This is for you, Elliot and Emily, and also as a reminder for myself, to be patient and understanding to my parents.

<当我老了>
当我老了, 不再是原来的我,
请理解我, 对我有一点耐心.

当我把菜汤洒到自己的衣服上时,
当我忘记怎样系鞋带时,
请想一想当初我是如何手把手地教你.

当我一遍又一遍地重复你早已听腻的话语,
请耐心地听我说, 不要打断我.
你小的时候, 我不得不重复那个讲过千百遍的故事,
直到你进入梦乡.

当我需要你帮我洗澡时, 请不要责备我,
还记得小时候我千方百计哄你洗澡的情形吗?

当我对新科技和新事物不知所措时, 请不要嘲笑我,
想一想当初我怎样耐心地回答你的每一个"为什么".

当我由于双腿疲劳而无法行走时,
请伸出你年轻有力的手扶持我,
就象你小时候学习走路时, 我扶你那样.

当我突然忘记我们谈话的主题,
请给我一些时间让我回想.
其实对我来说, 谈论什么并不重要,
只要你能在一旁听我说, 我就很满足.

当你看着老去的我, 请不要悲伤.
理解我, 支持我. 就象你刚开始学习
如何生活时我对你那样.

当初我引导你走上人生的路
如今请陪伴我走完最后的路
给我你的爱和耐心, 我会报以感恩的微笑,
这微笑中凝结着我对你无限的爱..

Elliot has been talking...

Elliot and his friend, Dragon

Elliot was sick with a fever and wheezing cough. Doc put him on a nebuliser to help his lungs. He hated the nebuliser at first, but after we try to bride him with a jelly after the session, he kinda got used to have to use it. Just some fake crying and whining to make us bring out the jelly. Now he is up, running and jumping, singing and dancing already :)

Garage Sale at Cimarron Recreation Centre

As we are going home (SIN) soon, we brought our stuff and winter clothings to the Cimarron Recreation Centre to sell at the garage sale. It was fun, we managed to collect about USD100 from our so call junks. :)

Elliot had so much fun there. He even made friend with a little girl. He spent almost the whole time playing with her when we were there. When he sees her photo, he'll asked for her saying "I want friend."

Elliot or Elmo?
