Emma's first week in Day Care - Kids Zone

Emma has been in the new day care - kids zone for a week now. So far she is doing not bad. A few things noted changed:

1)With more outdoor / indoor activities, Emma looks getting tired earlier after the supper.
2) Emma doesn't like some lunch / snack. She definitely doesn't like sausage or hot dog, which mommy never gave her before. Emma is so hungry and thirsty when she gets home. She drinks and eats everything I give her. She can't wait mommy cook supper anymore. Mommy has to get the rice / noodle and dishes ready right away. I need have a list of healthy snack for Emma before the super can be ready.
3) Emma getting darker due to more outdoor sunshine
4) Emma was crying when she saw mommy leaving in the morning in the first 3 days and now she is getting better.

The last weekend was mother's day. Emma brought the first gift to mommy. A card with Emma's hands print and a DVD with babies' pictures in Kids Zone. It is a very cute and lovely gift! It will be a wonderful memory for Emma.

Looks the trial week in Kids Zone does help her to get use to it. Will have to see how she can use to those food.

Mommy's new career in Saint John Reginal Hospital (Facilicorp)

Not sure why a lot of changes always happened between April and May....

I remember I left ACL in Halifax and moved to Saint John in May, 2006. Shortly I joined with JDI Logistics.

Around April 22nd, 2008, I started my one year maternity leave

April 27, 2009, Monday, I returned to JDI Logistics after the maternity leave, which was hard to return to work by leaving Emma with the babysitter. Fortunately my mom stayed with us for another half year to help.

April 3, 2010, after I quit from JDIL at the end of March. I brought Emma visit the home - Beijing, China

April 26, 2010, Monday, which is so coincidentally same as last year I joined Facilicorp (Saint John Regional Hospital) purchasing team. When I delivered Emma 2 years ago in the hospital, I never thought I will work in two years later! I just did my 1st week. It is still early to say anything yet, however 4:00pm off is great help on the family for sure! Plus, I have my own office! Hope it will be a good opportunity for me in career's long term development. Will see.

Emma is 2 years old tomorrow!

Wow! Just 5 minutes later, it will be Emma's 2 years old birthday! Mommy still can remember two years ago that mommy and daddy drove to the hospital in the midnight, and we had you in later afternoon next day!

You have grown up so fast and brought us so much fun during these two years! You are such a happy girl so far. You are making great progress everyday! You have grown up from a little tiny baby to a very smart toddler! Daddy and Mommy are very proud of you.

Although all family members have celebrated your 2 years birthday in advance in Beijing, mommy and daddy will have another small party for you :)

We love you very very much!

Emma's 1st trip to home - Beijing, China

Emma had her 1st long flight trip to home - Beijing, China with Mommy between April 3rd to April 22nd, 2010.

Emma had a great time with a lot of family members, Great grandma, 2 grandparents, Aunt, Gu Po, Xiao Long. The 1st week was a little tough for Emma. Emma had vomit and once diarrhea and later one she had allergy to the walnut. It was not fun during the 1st week. We had much better time in the following two weeks.

There are too much to write everything down here. All in all, it is very happy and we feel very warm to see the family after I left home almost seven years!

Mommy’s Career Change

Mommy’s Career Change

March 3rd, Emma was sick, which was the date Mommy settle the final official offer with Facilicorp for the position of Purchasing agent. I love the government working hour 8:00-4:00 and can be flexible, no after hour on call….. I definitely need this to have the healthy work-life balance. I am getting sick of this current JDIL job…..

I am glad that I am going to do Purchasing again! Whatever what this new job look like, the most important thing for now is mommy approved the competence and I am their #1 candidate! So far mommy had a very high success on the percentage of job hunting and interview.

Looking forward to moving on!

Emma's update in Feb, 2010

Again…. Too busy to update the BLOG…..

Since mid of Dec. 2009, Emma doesn’t want to sleep in the crib any more. Mommy and Daddy took turn to sleep with Emma in a twin bed for about two weeks. And then we laid down with you to read a little story and wait you fallen in sleep, then we got up and left you sleep by your own. We put some pillow around the bed It is challenge for mommy and daddy to lay down and get up again….. Daddy always fall in sleep soundly quickly even faster than Emma…. Mommy has spend a lot of time to hold daddy out of the bed. It has been almost a month that looks Emma sleep through night well by her own.

Emma speak a lots of words…
I want this,
I don’t want this
I want sleep
I want juice
I want TV, Barney (of course)
Yap,
I want down,
Shoes,
Zhe Ge

Emma likes me to stand up and raise her head and talk to me. She likes talking like an western adult with a lots of hands sign. Maybe she learned it from the baby sitter.

Emma just learned how to go down the stair and she definatley is a fast learner!

When Emma has her chicken, she will say “oh oh oh”  so cut.

Emma had a little accident in babysitter's house, when she chased Isabelle, her little figure was hurted when Isabelle shut the door. She had a big cry and was sad in that night too. Mommy is very Xing Teng about it.

She is about 28 lbs now and relative a big baby.

Jan. 20. mommy and daddy's anniversary date, we went to Chinese Culture Associated's 25thh anniversary Gala. Daddy perform a song with the group people. It is the first time to bring Emma to see a real performance show on site. She did really well and recoginized Danny right away on the stage.

There are so much fun thing mommy try to record.
