Charles's very 1st baby tooth was falling at 9:00pm when Grandmom gave him bath. He was very excited. The first thing he did the next day morning was go check the tooth. Well, I told him the fairy was here last night, but since he was sleeping , she will return on Friday night to give him a surprise.

I talked to Ms Nunnally at 3:20pm about the incident happened yesterday that Charles kicking one of his friend at recess. Also, I discussed with her about Nellie's next semester whether she is going to stay at Junior.K. or Jump up to Kinder. She told me to give her couple weeks to evaluate this matter. She was glad I talked to her before I submit the registeration application.

Fri.

I took Charles & Andrew to see dentist today. Charles got 4 cavities. Andrew got 10. Our dentist told me that he can try to fix Charles's teeth but Andrew has to transfer to Children's Dentist. To his eyes, Andrew still too young. Well, Andrew going to be 5 in March. By the way, we didn't celebrate Edward's birthday on Feb. 26. Due to he is trying so hard to loss weight in order to pass the health exam & get the better premium rate from the Insurance company. God bless him!

Yesterday afternoon 4:00pm -5:00pm, Charles & Andrew both started to take their piano class at Keyboard Academy. They also joined the local church-East Valley Children's Choir in beginning of Feb. this year. Their practice time is every Sunday afternoon from 4:15pm to 5:45pm.

I took Andrew to Children's Dentist today. After the evaluation, the dentist told me that Andrew actually has 12 cavities. He has to put Andrew sleep for two hour if we like to have the dentist operate this case. The insurance won't cover the anesthetics. We have to pay $600 to the dentist just for keep Andrew sleep. Every per additional 15 minutes, will charge $ 75.

Sat.

It was a raining Saturday. As usual, grandma took Charles & Andrew went to Weekend Chinese School. I took Nellie to Fine Art Academy of Dance. Nellie's tap & ballet dance class is starting to practice & prepare for their annual performance in November. Teacher Megan showed me the costume dress picture & I like that colorful cute dress! Nellie started the dance class since last August, 2002. She is a little darling. She told me she like to be a ballerina. After the dance class, me & Nellie went to J.J. Bakery bought the birthday cake for Andrew's birthday again. Well, it's never too much to celebrate kids birthday. Even though Daddy still busy at work on weekend plus it was rains like cats & dogs but we really had fun birthday party at our home. We opened the present & started to enjoy the Arcade Zone. We play the pool, sliding ball. Thanks God! It was a happy birthday for Andrew & everyone. By the way, I did not invite any Andrew's best friends, even our good neighbor Alan to come to our house. Since we did the celebration at school yesterday already plus the nonstop raining, I decided not to trouble any one on this special day.

Tues.

The war was started tonight right around I left the office at 6:35pm. I felt very down... I care our country's troop & worry if any horrible things will happen to our children's world someday. Also, tonight I told Ms. Ramirez that I would like to cancel the tutoring class by end of this month. I thanks for her hard working but I think our kids should come home early, otherwise they don't have enough time to study the school work plus enough rest.

Mon.

I called travel agent this evening & tried to collect more information about booking the airline ticket to Taiwan. We kind of planning to send our kids back to Taiwan to learn better Chinese this summer. We hope our kids can fluently speak Chinese eventually when they grow up. Tonight I took Andrew to Kaiser at 7:00pm. After the doctor visit, he kind of understand that he has to eat more vegetable, grain bread, raisin & every night need to take a tea spoon mineral oil in order to take away the discomfort for bowl movement. The bad part was I can clearly see the blood on the tissue but he didn't really complain too much. Anyway, after we arrived home, Andrew immediately asked me to give him the mineral oil & he even said thanks to me when I done. Also, I told him no wasting food. Since I saw him couple times threw the food to trash can or in my car. I told him this is consider as a very bad habit. He seems to be a very well listener. I love Andrew.

Today grandma went to field trip with Charles's classmates. They went to Children's Museum in La Habra. They had a very happy day. Grandma wants me take Nellie, Andrew & Charles to there again this weekend. Charles's health is not too good in the past 3 days. I took him to Kaiser yesterday morning at 11:00am. Due to he probably got food poison or unknown reason that cause his face swollen & looks very ugly... Charles got a shot from doctor. He cried for a minute. But since his face was swollen & I hope he can get well sooner. I still agreed the doctor to do so. Sunday afternoon 4:15pm, Charles & Andrew both wore bow tie to church just for year book photo taken. They both look good. Last night was Oscar Award night, so I told 2 boys leave early from church. I don't want to miss that event on TV.

Tues.

The children's dentist just called that Andrew has been scheduled to be there to fix up all his cavities on April Fool at 4:00pm. He estimates the job will take 2 1/2 to 3 hour. Also before the appointment, he cannot have any solid foods for 8 hours prior to appointment. Water or apple juice only taken up the 3 hours prior to appointment. Nothing may be taken for 3 hours prior to appointment. Well, it's kind of hard for a little boy like Andrew not eat anything for 8 hours. My God! But he has 12 cavities & 2 in the front. So, even though the insurance will cover all the cost but not for the anesthesia. The dentist told me that he will offer me a flat rate $400 plus $200 for the front teeth white cover pieces. I told him that Nellie had 10 cavities & 4 front teeth's situation just like Andrew & also done by their clinic. From there he agreed to give me 20% off on that $200 front teeth's white cover pieces. ..............................................Next Page
