Nowadays, whenever Ashlyn & Alex sit down, they ask for pens and paper. Here are their recent masterpieces.
Ashlyn wrote the E, L, and A, but she didn’t write ALEX
Use your imagination, not sure what she was trying to draw
I took Ashlyn, along with my aunt to Costco yesterday. As we walked in, we saw these cute little cardigan, perfect for Ashlyn to wear at home. We let her hold on to it as we shop. We got home, Ashlyn got off the car, and she said:
“係唔係減價呀? 好平呀?”
“Is it on sale? Very good price?”
One bargain shopper in the making!!

We had dinner at the in-laws’ on Saturday. Brother & sister in-law came with their daughters too.
We finally able to take a decent picture of all of the 4 kids. Although not looking at the camera/directions the same time, but at least they were willing to sit down quietly, calmly for the picture.
From left: Allyna (2.5 years old), Jolie (8 months old), Ashlyn (3 years and 3 months old) & Alex (2 years and 2 months old).
My brother, Jeff, and sister in law, Penny, are expecting their first child in Spring 2008. Penny just had the amniocentesis (抽羊水) done 2 days ago and the results was GOOD!
This morning, Jeff and I IM’ed a little. Obviously, my first question was “you got the result back?” Here is our conversation:
Miss CHU 朱小姐: got the results?
Penny 叉燒: yes…. everything is OK.
Miss CHU 朱小姐: boy or girl?
** one minute later, no response **
Miss CHU 朱小姐: BOY OR GIRL AH?????
** 5 seconds later, request to accept/transfer file **
Miss CHU 朱小姐: image too small la
Miss CHU 朱小姐: baby sneezing??
Penny 叉燒: hahahaha
Miss CHU 朱小姐: cannot tell wor

humm.. I guess the animation doesn’t work here. oh well!
Conversation continues:
Miss CHU 朱小姐: is this really your baby??
Penny 叉燒: look closer la…
Miss CHU 朱小姐: looks like the baby is driving, and slaming on the brake
Miss CHU 朱小姐: aiya, the image is very very very tiny

Miss CHU 朱小姐: AAAHHHHHH!!!!!
Miss CHU 朱小姐: so, it’s not image of your bb la
Penny 叉燒: no la

Finally, we got good news from the childcare facility, where they offer daycare/pre-school/pre-K programs. They now have openings for both Ashlyn and Alex, and they can start as early as Oct. 22. Although it’s only a 3-day week, it should be a good start for them. If we give up the spaces, we will be on the bottom of the waiting list. No, No, No, that’s not gonna happen!!
Now I can tell people “YES, my kids are going to school now!”
It’s official, I think. It’s been 3 weeks in a row that Ashlyn went diaperless, even nap time and sleep time at night. Zero accidents (touch on wood).
She calls out everytime she needs to use the bathroom. I think it’s pretty safe to say it’s official that Ashlyn IS now potty trained. So proud of her! ; )
There goes savings on diaper money! HA HA!
COACH has the V.I.P./Preferred customers sale event going on right now (by invitation only), and I’m lucky that I have some V.I.P. friends. My dear friend, Elaine, she’s so generous that she sent me her invitaion. 25% off all Fall merchandise.
Soon after Labor Day, stores already started to put Halloween items on shelves. Last year, I went every where to scout for the perfect Halloween costume for Alex. The requirements: keep the kid warm, easy on and off, under $20.
I stumbled upon Old Navy store and found this perfect costume for Alex. Not only it met all of the requirements and it was the C-U-T-E-S-T around town. O, did I mention it worked well with Ashlyn’s too. Last year, Ashlyn was JoJo the Circus Clown, so, Alex was her best friend, Golith the Lion.
The belly and the butt of the lion costume was filled with synthetic cotton, and when Alex walked, the belly and the butt swinging left and right.
Here are the other costume I had in mind. Turtle from The Children’s Place, and the Gold Fish from Babystyle.
We watched the crystal ball dropped at Time Square every New Year’s Eve right above the big-O screen. Johnson and I finally were there in person. No, not New Year’s Eve. We were there just about a month ago for a wedding. The screen didn’t amaze me, cux it looked smaller than I thought it would be.
What amazed me was the 3-level Toys R Us at Time Square. I was not impressed by their toy selections and variety, what caught my attention and interests was the ferry wheels. You can see it from the street. $6 per person.
What caught Johsnon’s attention?? He insisted to take a picture with him.
