Alpha played pretend the other day with grandma. He gave her a menu (made from his hankie). Grandma made her selection and Alpha took the menu away. Grandma asked why he took the menu away. Alpha said, 通常睇完menu都收番.

What will you use your vocal cord to exchange for?

Last night I read the Little Mermaid with Alpha. After the story, I asked him whether he would use his vocal cord to exchange for 2 legs. Without thinking, he said no because he already has 2 legs. Then I asked him whether he would use his vocal cord to exchange for a Lamborghinni. He thought hard and looked around my room. Then he said he would use a disposable camera (sitting on my dresser) to exchange for a Lamborghinni. I'm glad that he knows boundaries and limitations: if something is of value to him, he won't make an exchange, even for his favourite car. Hope that once he knows Christ, he would not make an exchange of it with anything.

Alpha goes to school

Alpha started school yesterday. He's tried very hard to contain himself, and the teacher let him go after about 30 minutes, before he actually cried out.
Today, he managed to stay for 1.5 hours, and no tendency to cry at all. Great achievement. In return, he received a "pizza candy" from Grandma.

Labour Day

It is the Labour Day monday today, a public holiday in Canada. Constance, I and Alpha went to the new Factory Outlet on I-5 exit 202, about a 2 hours drive away. Not too crowded. Alpha of course is not interested in shopping, but is attracted by the numerous riding machines around the mall.

We're back by 5:30pm. After dinner, we bring Alpha and Archer to the park. Because it's getting dark and the mosquitoes are coming out, we stay in the park for only about half an hour. When we leave, Archer throws a tantrum because he has not played enough.

殘忍

In order to stop Archer from sucking his hands (yes, hands, not fingers) again, we have started to put 白花油 on his fingers. It works.
