Easter Party at Q and Tony's House

Q and Tony had a bbq Easter Party at their house. We brought sausage. There were tons of kids. Ethan was the youngest among those who could walk. This time, he wasn't even interested in finding eggs. He rather played with the atv.

Easter Party at Kaichi and Jason's House

I made spring rolls and broken glass jello and brought them to Kaichi and Jason's house. Weiping and her family were there (her husband, David, Helen and parents). Yumi and Tiger were there. Lili and her family were there (Jason and Sophie). Lena and Jacky were there.

Ethan liked to play with the roller coaster and buggy. He grabbed quite a few eggs with daddy's help.

Broken Glass Jell-o

I followed the recipe on Pink's website and did disolve each box of jello into 1.5 cup of hot water (according to Pink, it's too sweet if only use 1 cup of hot water). I made 4 colors of jello-o last night (berry blue, strawberry, lime, orange). This morning I cut them up into cubes. I dissolved 2 envelopes unflavored gelatin in 1/2 cup of cold water then added 1.5 cup of hot water with the condensed milk. I put those cubes of jell-o into a pan and then poured all the condensed milk into it.

I'll see how it turns out later. I am going to bring it to Kaichi and Jason's house tomorrow.

New Words

Since last week or two weeks ago, when Ethan was to play Wii, he'll say "wii". His favorite word now is "NO!". He says it everyday. "Ethan, are you ready to come out of the bath tub?" His answer is always "NO!" hehe He says "hi" and "bye" more often now. He tries to say "go outside" but can't pronunce it right.

Hair Cut

Three of us got hair cut last night. Back in January, Ethan sat on the chair by himself when he was getting a hair cut. He wasn't afraid but this time he cried up a storm. He got hair all over him, his face, his mouth, his clothes...

Not Enough of Sleep

Since I've been working on March 10th, Ethan hasn't have enough of sleep. He used to sleep about 12 hours and napped about 2 hours. Now, he sleeps about 9-10 hours and naps between 30 min - 2 hours. Even weekends, he wakes up around 7:30 or 8:00 cuz I have to wake him up about 7:00 Tuesday - Friday. Most of the time he'll wake himself up close to 7 and cry cuz he doesn't see me in the bedroom.

It's been fun working here with my friend Carol. I think I'll be working for another week or so til the tax season is over.

Sea World - Elmo

We took Ethan to Sea World again. We watched the Dolphine Show. It was pretty boring. Afterward, we stopped by kid's play area and took a picture with Elmo.

Choo Choo

Daddy said he played "choo choo" with Ethan a week or two ago. He started to get into it on Monday, March 30 and wants to play everyday. He'll stand behind daddy and put his arms around daddy's back and then daddy makes choo choo sound. hahaha

New Words

Recently, Ethan says "zuo zuo" = sit down, Bolt (when he wants to watch Bolt). He loves to say no. He doesn't know how to say yes yet. He also likes to say walk (when he wants to go outside), or car (when he wants to go sit and play in the car). He says "choo choo" when he wants to play choo choo.

New Word

Lately, he's been calling his blankie "baby". We think he's trying to say blankie but can't pronounce it.

AFP

I had my monthly check up today. Doctor told me about my AFP test result. She said the risk of down syndrome is very low, 1/5000, 1/7000 something like that. Doctor asked me if I found out baby's sex yet. I told her the first lady wasn't sure but second lady said it's a boy. Doctor asked me if I want to do another ultrasound. I asked if I could. She said sure, just need to find an excuse to go (the excuse is to recheck baby's kidney). She asked me to wait for 4-6 weeks to have the ultrasound.

GTG

We went over to Yumi's house around 11 am. I made egg rolls and fried salt & pepper chicken. Weiping's family and Kaichi's family were there too. Weiping brought porridge, dumplings, and broccoli with shrimps. Kaichi and Jason brought mini corn beef sandwiches. Yumi made fried pork, steam asparagus, sliced tomatoes, rice, and shredded carrots with celery salad.

Before Alice left, she gave Ethan kisses and Ethan kissed her back...how cute! hehe

Daddy's Bday

Happy Birthday Daddy! We didn't do anything special today. I was planning to go to Birch Aquarium because you can get in for free by showing your B of A credit card. However, daddy couldn't find his so we didn't go.

We went to Chopstix Too for lunch. Afterward we headed to the beach. We didn't stay long cuz it was cold. Ethan didn't want to get into the car. We tried to take him to Chuck E Cheese's but it was super pack. So we just walked over to Grossmont Center. We got smoothie at Jumba Juice and then went to Wal-Mart.

New Words

He can say eye, ear, "wa" = walk, and "ca" = cup.
