果言果语

1。周末的下午，果果爬上床美美睡了个午觉。
等到晚上，就翻来覆去地睡不着了。翻了个把小时后--
“我睡不着。我要lunesta!”

把爸爸妈妈笑翻。lunesta 的蝴蝶广告看太多了！

2。还是周末，果果捧着个讲义夹，坐在床边，说这是我写的书，妈妈我读给你听吧。
其实书里什么都没有。小朋友就把学校里听来的故事读来的书一起给妈妈讲。
从James C到giant到peach，对美国儿童文学完全没有造诣的妈妈听得一头雾水。

3。正在雾水中，忽听砰一声，床边的果果掉下去了！
赶紧检视，似无大碍。
但是小朋友很疼惜自己--有点疼，这里（指脸），不是这里（指头）。
妈妈一时着慌--没变笨吧， 1+1等于几？
果果跟着着慌--did i lose my brain? 1+1 is 2? give me more questions! quick!
4+9? 13!
12+13? 25!
13+18? ......30!
妈妈坏笑着说--变笨罗，13+18等于31！
小朋友就一下子坐定，华丽丽地大哭起来--i lose my brain, you said i lose my brain!
哈哈，我的笨儿子，你还真是个笨儿子啊！

2010总结 (3)

9/30/2010，可怕的日子，可怕的电话，果果可怕的肿胀的胳膊。真希望这一天从来没有发生过。

3点半接到孩子，4点见到儿医，4点半去专科医院急诊，等到9点见到骨科医生，9点半才拍到片子。真真是美国效率。

10点医生告知明天做手术，临时给上了石膏。

第二天，6点被叫醒，说是8点手术。结果等到11点才由妈妈陪着进了手术室。 这张是上了少量麻药后已经不太清醒了。

估计12点结束的手术，12点半才听见呼叫我们的广播。那半个小时应该是这辈子最难熬的30分钟了。原来受伤情况比预想严重，2颗钉变三颗。

这辈子再也不要站在手术室外面等了。当然也不要在里面！

孩子被推出来的时候，好在听见医生说，it is very successful. everything is aligned perfectly. this should be a sample surgery for my students.

当然看见还在麻药下的孩子，又落了不少心酸泪。

在医院又住了一晚，出院了。在家休息了一周，上学了。吊了6周的石膏，拆掉了。经过整整100天修养，现如今，又是一条好汉了。双臂已经100%恢复，两侧无差。老爸老妈这才把心又给放回去。

Something about marriage...

As a mom, I have to admit that I long for the day when I would meet my dear Brian's girl friend for the first time.

That explains why I was so pleasantly surprised when one day I heard about S. About Brian's marriage.

It goes back to early in the fall.

ACT I

One day in October, Brian all the sudden asks about marriage.

--Mommy, I want to see your picture when you married daddy.
--Mommy, I want to marry YOU!

**How sweet. But when you grow up, you will surely want to marry your own girl.

--NO! I want to marry YOU!

ACT II

About two weeks later, Brian brings up this topic again.

--Mommy, who do you think I should marry with?

Didn't he say he wanted to marry "mom" a few weeks ago? I am curious why he brings this up again.

**A pretty and kind girl that you will meet when you grow up.

--Mommy...

**Yes?

--Mommy, S says she wants to marry me... (S is a girl from Brian's class).

**Really? Why?

--She says she likes me and wants to marry me.

**What did you say?

--I tell her me too!

This little "heartless" boy. Didn't you say you want to marry "mom" just two weeks ago? :D

**Oh that's great.

A few minutes later, Brian raises his head up from his legos

--Mommy, when do you think I can marry S?

**Ehhh...Maybe when you are 20?

--Oh NO! I cannot wait...

ACT III

Winter break. Big snow storm. We are all bored at home.

--Mommy, S said she wants to have a play date with me! Maybe a sleepover!

A few minutes later,

--Mommy, I think we should buy some girls' toys.

**Why?

--So that when S comes, she has something to play with.

Wow, my little Brian, I am sure you will be a great boy friend when you become one. Who is going to be that lucky girl!

THE END.

Brian Zhou, Class of 2010, Preschool of America

Congratulations, my dearest Brian!!!




At the ceremony, we were reminded that when this class graduate from college, they will be Class of 2027. Tears came to my eyes...

2nd birthday


3rd birthday

4th birthday

尘埃落定

一年的忙碌等待终于结束，周果果同学将在曼哈顿儿童学校上学。

听着就是个快乐的学校--果果第一次听我们说起这个学校，影子都没见着的时候，就欢呼--I like this school. I want to go to this school! 要说果果真是幸运星，600号里抽40人，也能抽到我们这种连tour都没参加的人。

比起一年前那颗担忧的心，一年中那些无谓的煎熬，果果考的那些人生中最初的试，和最后与gifted and talented program之间痛苦的抉择，这真真是个快乐的结果了。

最快乐的，呵呵，就是我们可以把每个月近2000的学费省下来花在各种兴趣班上了！果果小朋友，你可千万不要替我们省钱，闹着不肯上班哦！
