Boys' school has annuel Mother Son Dance and this year I got to go with both Xander and Khai. Khai was very excited about it because he had to stay home with Dad in the past 2 years while I went to the dance with Xander.
小朋友的學校每年都會舉辦母子舞會. 今年煒勳終於可以和哥哥及我一起去參加舞會, 他好高興哦.
Khai's student teacher drew this poster. We borrowed it for the background. 煒勳班上的老師畫了這個壁報, 我們把它借來當照相背影.
We ate dinner and most of the boys went to gym and played with their friends while the moms sat and talked to other moms. They played one slow song and I got to dance with my cute boys. It was a fun date.
We are going to Taiwan in the end of the May and boys are super excited about it. We haven't visited Taiwan for 3 years. One night we were talking about what we can do in Taiwan and Xander said "I'm Taiwan sick". He learned "Home sick" at school and now he misses Taiwan, so he said "Taiwan sick". We thought it was very cute.
Every year we celebrate Chinese New Year with the Chinese school, so we decided to eat dim-sum prior to the celebration as our tradition. This year a close family decided to join us and learned about the celebration, so we invited them to eat dim-sum with us.
We enjoyed our dim-sum as usual, but we can tell that our friends weren't used to this kind of food. But we had a good time.
他們覺得很新奇. 飯後我們包了小紅包給他們的3個小朋友. 小朋友們都好興奇可以收到紅包.
Khai's class decided not to perform this year, so I let him joined Xander's class. Every student suppose to say some lucky words. Khai kept coming to our seats and asked me how to say his parts. Poor kid, I never saw him so nervous. We told Khai that he needs to take a deep breath when he is nervous in the daily life. You can see from the video that he tood a deep breath before his performance (we didn't tell him to do that, but he remembered to do that to relax himself). Kids did a wonderful job on the stage as usual. We were so proud of them.
