学华语

亲爱的义晨，

这是你第一本华语书-拍球。你自小就用英语交谈，这是你第一次学华语。在短短的一个月里(四个小时的课)，你已经能够读两本书了。你的吸受力太棒了! 妈妈实在为你而骄傲。你还轻而易举的认了不少字,如 “在，这，一，花，白，红”等字. 妈妈相信很快你就能用华语沟通了.

永远爱你的妈妈

Those were the days…Gabriel learnt walking

Dearest Gabriel,

             Since you were born, you have become the most important person in my life. You made my life become more meaningful and watching you grow up was really wonderful experience. Mummy likes the below photo very much!

Your very first steps

 

              It made me recalled the time you learnt walking…You started walking at the age of 13 months. That time grandma and “popo” took care of you. Everyday after work, mummy would sure bring you for a walk in the park, besides the lake at our apartment. Mummy would tell you the surrounding things such as trees, the blue clouds, the children, the birds & etc…That time mummy had such free time because grandma and “popo” would do the cooking and after you went to day care, mummy had no more time & strength to bring you to the park anymore. You were good boy too as after school, you would help mummy to wash rice or wash vege or you would play by yourself.

 

3 years old play…

Dearest Gabriel,

 

            Your favorite game at 2-3 years old is play camping. This started after you watched Pingu Goes Camping cartoon, you got addicted to this game and maintain for so long. You will request papa and mummy lying down on the bed, using our hands and legs to support the blanket. Then you will hide inside the “camp”. This really made our legs feel tired and shivering…We also will play cooking / masak-masak, you will imagine the bolster as sausage or chicken thigh. In order to make the camping game more exciting, we will pretend to be the monster/ tigers/ pirate to come to attack you…You will be screaming and use gun to shoot us. This has become one of our night time activities.
