Fri.

Edward was attending Charles's teacher & parent conference with Ms. Cavin this morning at 8:40am. Again, Charles overall is a smart young boy (straight A Student) but we still have to watch his behavior everyday. According to Ms. Cavin's opinion, she think Ms. Rahmanian should be the best teacher for Charles 2nd grade teacher.

Tonight 6:30pm-8:00pm, I started to take the "Flower Arranging" class at Pavilion Florist. The first night we learned was "how to make butterfly bow, package bow & big wedding or funeral bow". I brought home 3 bows. Since I came back from Princess Cruise vacation in early March, I am more & more interested in making flowers. It Just all because from the class I took on the cruise-make carnation flower & tropical flower & make boxes. I think I am going to learn more about making all these nice flower arranging, etc. Nellie & two boys enjoy to see me making these fun art work. Life is full of learning & enjoyment.

Tues.

Charles's 2nd baby tooth was falling at 9:00pm when Grandma helped him to brush his teeth last night. He was very excited again. He had hard time to get up this morning. But when I reminded him about his tooth, he was jumped up & ran to my room to check the box & found out what kind of surprise that tooth fairy brought to him. With no doubt that tooth fairy left him a shining gold coin this time. He was very happy & put that gold coin into his piggy bank. Now he knows that soon he will grow up, get rid of all the baby teeth & become a big boy. He is looking forward for that days come. Nellie & Andrew were upset. They told me they want to have their tooth falling as well. I told them just wait, that day will be coming soon!

This afternoon I talked to Ms. Nunnally about Charles's bad behavior during lunch recess. He put his hands on another boys neck and was shaking him. The placement of his hands appeared that the other boy was being choked. Charles did this to this boy just to show another boy how this boy's head shook. Ms. Nunnally reminded Charles that he has to keep his hands to himself. A letter went home in January stating that if Charles were involved in any physical harm to another person he would be suspended. Since they are taking SAT test this week. Ms. Nunnally-Principal, she is not going to suspended him. However, any such acts in the future will be grounds for suspension. I also talked to Ms Cavin-Charles teacher this afternoon, she told me this incident was happened at lunch time but she was not there. Ms. Cavin felt most of time if with her supervision, Charles is always doing fine. But since she cannot be with him every minute at school, this kind of incident is totally out of her hand. Anyway. I'll talked to Edward later about this incident.

Sat.

We went to "The Children's Museum" at La Habra this afternoon. Our good neighbor- Christine,Eric & Alan were joined us but driving their own car. Due to Eric has "on call duty" for his work. This museum was recently visited by Charle's school field trip. Charles wants to go back again. I told him "we sill" & today is the date. We met one of his classmate Angie there at the museum. She is the one like Charles wanted to go back the museum. It's a small world!! Later, we came home & as usual that Alan, Andrew play Game at our home but not Charles. He was grounded since he is not well behaved this morning at Chinese school. Grandma's church friend-Jane came pick up her at 7:50pm, she had a good time with her same age group Church sisters. Their meeting time was from 8:00pm - 10:00pm. She was home about 10:40pm. She was very enjoyed the meeting.

Sun.

As routine schedule, today we went to church in the morning & back home around 1:30pm. Grandma & me attended the seminar-"Focus on your Home-How to love your husband or wife?". Sunday morning is the only peace moment that Edward can sleep till noon. As usual I shared the most important content with Edward before the bed time. I aked him to do the home work with me. There are just 5 easy questions to be answered.Thanks God! We have very similar love dialogue. I think that's very lucky. In God's Glory, Edward & I have stronger relationship to face our future life. Recently we received lot of the e-mails from our friends to talked about SARS virus. Well, as long as we take necessary precautions or prevention like, always wash our hands, stay in places with only good ventilation, less visit to cinema and crowded places, we should be safe. But I miss Disneyland & California Adventure Park though. I heard there's a new Witney the Pooh or something new stuffs coming up.... I like to ask Edward if we can go there next weekend? Tonight, Edward & Charles were working on the School Project-Shoe Box Report. They were started from 7:30pm - 10:00pm. After 10:00pm Charles went to bed & Edward still continued to work till mid night. Poor daddy-Edward, he has to work with Charles on monthly basis. One thing good is Charles always received grade A+. Teacher-Ms. Cavin encouraged parents involved to the project. Our children's school will have a "Open House Night" on this Thursday from 6:00pm - 8:00pm. Since that day, we'll going to take our first time Spanish Class at 8:00pm-9:00pm plus Charles has a eye exam. appointment at 5:00pm. It will be very busy on this coming Thursday evening.

Mon.

It is a raining day!! :(I don't enjoy too much! But, we need water!! Grandma is happy. I guess she doesn't have to water the back yard plant for this whole week. Our kids are happy to bring their own kid's umbrella to go to school this morning. They were happy. Only Charles, he was upset this morning due to daddy did not let him bring a "chess set" to play at school recess time, I feel sorry for Charles. Unless he can responsible for the goods that he brings to school. So far he still lacking the sense to take care his own goods. At lunch time, Edward discussed with me about how we improve Charles's behavior & how we set the incentive to cheer up Charles to be excellent. We both agreed that only the Game is the most favorite thing to Charles. We decided still let Charles play game every night for 30 minutes if he does good at school. It has been more than 2 weeks I don't let Charles play game, due to he didn't follow direction to teacher couple time at school. Edward felt that Charles needs to have new incentive policy to cheer him up. I'll talk to Charles this afternoon. By the way, I turned in all the "photo project" to Ms. Cavin today. That's for their "Open House" night. I made all their classmate's wish come true. The topic for that photo project should called:'What would you like to be, when you grow up?" That was a fun project for their class. I also working on the cover of the "East Valley Children's Choir" annual book. Today is my deadline.

The topic of this evening's flower arranging class was taught us "how to arrange the flower into the vase". We have to remember never put the green into the vase & always change the water every two days. Flowers should always put one lower to each others & always show the best flowers in the front. The stem should always cut in diagonal shape. The height of the stem should not go beyond the highest tip of the background leaf. I brought home a nice flower set. I had a good time at the class! Edward was continually working with Charles on his shoe box project, even myself had to help to modify the graphic portion. Indeed, this is we 3 people's project, not just Charles. Edward was very happy about the look. I think I have to take a picture for that . I am proud of Edward. He is a super Daddy & husband!! I am sure that Charles will do another good book report on Wed. 04/16/2003. ....................................................................... Next Page
