Reading Time: < 1 minute I heard this story from NPR a while back, I meant to share it with my daughter’s teacher, did not do it as the New Town incident happened on that day. This is again discussed this morning at Hope Montessori morning presentation. I gave it some thought on this topic from time to time. I think
Reading Time: < 1 minute A lot of good points. We congrats/celebrate with kids (did something, e.g., potty training), we don’t “reward” them (Sarah). The “grit” (persistence) is very important, recent research found American kids are more tend to give up (Susie). Also, toddlers (community) do not have watch, the teachers give toddlers plenty of time to make mistakes and
Reading Time: < 1 minute Did not get much sleep last night, as I had to go to airport to pick up my in-laws at 2 am. This morning, after drop off my daughter and I was trying to change lane to get to Panera Bread, the car behind me was not happy, and honked. I honked in revenge. Not
Reading Time: 2 minutes (Update 01-23-13) This morning I talked to my daughter school director about this. He is older and wiser (like my uncle).

The ethnic diversity of the students/parents background surprised me a bit, reminded of Rolla (a lot of Indian
Reading Time: 2 minutes I felt it’s easier to make money from those offers from writing iPhone, iPad and iOS apps. At least this is true for me so far.

Reading Time: < 1 minute Youyang is more active nowadays, she is about 8 weeks old. She smiles more, esp. after waking up in the morning. She has more energy and from time to time I was surprised by her voice and kick (legs). When I tried to lift her up, she struggles as if I am lifting a big
Reading Time: < 1 minute I searched both google and bing. It looks like it’s safe for our baby as she will be 3 months old (source: Indusladies.com). For new born, it’s almost a no-no (source: about.com). One factor, I saw from about.com and kidsgrowth.com, is the air quality in airplanes and the potential to exposed her to virus. Quote
Reading Time: < 1 minute One of the main job for daddies is to change diapers. From my limited observations ladies are usually more sensitive to smells than men. I mean they don’t like that smell.
