鎧謙的彩色蛋: Easter Egg


放學回家鎧謙帶了一顆彩色蛋, 我想應該是 Easter eggs. They are special eggs that are often given to celebrate Easter (celebrating the resurrection of Christ) or springtime.

鎧謙看著彩色的蛋說: 媽咪裡面有沒有小雞? 我心想小雞???? 就唿攏的說:小雞在睡覺, 不要吵它. 正想吃 Panera order 的 sandwich, 鎧謙又問: 可不可以(打開)看, 拗不過, 我說好吧, 一打開, 鎧謙發現:沒有小雞, 看著我說: mommy小雞死掉了, 我說誰把小雞弄死了? 鎧謙說: 是老師 (Ms. Jenny), 是老師把它煮死了,... 小雞, 好可憐喔.... 鎧謙 very sad, 接著難過起來..., 過不多久, 鎧謙驚嘆的說: mommy 是 spider man 吔, 心想還真有想像力, 一看還真的有個 spider man.






鎧謙 Singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star


Twinkle, twinkle little star,
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.

Twinkle, twinkle little star,
How I wonder what you are.
(repeat)
How I wonder what you are.

鎧謙 Riding Tri-Bike

今天的天氣非常晴朗, 卻刮著大風, 樹枝掉了一地. 整理garage, 去年買的二手三輪車 (tri-bike) 總算派上用場了, 試一試鎧謙居然自己可以騎了, 不須他人 (在後面push). 後面的坐椅還可以臷人呢, 我坐在後面, 心想鎧謙應該踩不動,  居然可以跟上, 哇噻, 小腿好有力.

鎧謙的畫: 小人, 怪物, 小花

kai-chen said, "I don't want money." i curious asked if he knew the meaning of the money? 我不確定的說: money????? 什麼是 money? 鎧謙說: money 就是錢嘛.  哇, 真是不可以小看他的字彙 (智慧).
ps. 在紛亂的社會中 (建中學生自殺, 和其它暴力事件頻傳), 當媽的我除了希望孩子保有好奇的求知能力, 更希望孩子有健康的身心. 快樂的童年比什麼都來的重要. 每當出門, 只祈求一天的平安,健康,快樂. 鎧謙的幸福是我一輩子的責任, 他是我甜蜜的根本也是快樂和幸福的泉源. Remember life is short, so enjoy it. go out and have fun. In kai-chen's words, "Did you have fun today?"

鎧謙的 New Guitar

每天早上一起來, 鎧謙總是戀戀(唸唸)不忘要買他的 guitar, 這樣吵了一個月, 終於決定買 guitar 給他. 送來時鎧謙開心的說不出話來, 看到鎧謙笑到合不攏嘴,自己也由不自主的開心,他的 precious smile, 是千金也買不到, 看到他的smile, 是每天的感動和有一股難以言喻的滿足感.
鎧謙對 guitar 的迷戀是有一次在mall 裡看到展示的 white guitar 就從此對吉他念念不忘, 常常說 guitar is beautiful, 還問可不可以買 guitar?  不知道他對 guitar 是認真的,還是一時兩三秒的熱度. 我就問鎧謙, guitar 是什麼? 鎧謙肯定的回答說: 就是音樂呀. 只能說鎧謙對音樂的節拍及旋律就有天生的美感和自我的欣賞能力. 對畫畫的銓釋和感受就特別的敏銳. 在 Amazon 網上買了一把 4-8 歲的 guitar (Barcelona 1/2-Size Mini Electric Guitar Package), 滿足他對 guitar (音樂)的執著. 疏不知他那來的靈感,拿起 guitar 來好像有那麼個架子, 不知以前是否玩過Band呢?

鎧謙說: gotta go on an adventure


昨天shopping, 買了star wars lunch box. 鎧謙一早放了他最喜歡的玩具說: I gotta go. 我問他 gotta go where (去哪兒)? 鎧謙回答: gotta go (on an) adventure (去冒險). 哇噻,連 adventure 都會吔! 他的英文每天都在成長進步. 每天都有新的驚喜!

鎧謙的捲捲舌:好厲害!


鎧謙說: 媽咪你看....(喔,...會捲舌吔! 是顯性基因,好厲害! oops, 我不會捲舌)








鎧謙的 funny answer: I am not ready.

鎧謙問說: Mommy, are you happy? 我心想什麼時候學會了美式的問候語. 我也美式回答: Yes, I am happy. 也問鎧謙, Are you happy? 猜猜鎧謙他回答什麼? 鎧謙說: NO, I AM NOT READY...我大笑, 真是不按牌裡出牌. 除了ARE YOU HAPPY. 最近鎧謙學會了幾句, 也非常神奇:

CROSS YOUR FINGER.
I AM (NOT) YOUR FRIEND.
THANK YOU, MOMMY.
IT'S NOT FUNNY!
YOU ARE FUNNY.
GET OUT OF MY HOUSE.
HOLD MY HAND.
DO YOU LIKE ME? I LIKE YOU.
WHY NOT?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
