幼儿园第四周

今天上学路上没睡觉。我每隔十几分钟往后面递给他一个“玩具”，小闹钟，水杯，空水罐，雨伞。最后十分钟开始不耐烦。正好下了高速公路，开了一包oreo饼干，掰成小块递给他，他抓住送到嘴里一口一口的吃。这才满意。 

到了停车场，有些伤心，知道妈妈要走了。就开始带了哭腔哼哼。下了车反而好了。可能因为有妈妈抱着。 同学老师们都在院子里玩。半岛上天气比旧金山略暖。孩子们有穿了绒衣的，也有像Alec那样短裤短袖的。大多男孩子都和Noah一个样长袖单衣，长裤。

开始是赖在身上不下来。我带他到装了很多插销门链子的木板上给他示范有多好玩。他很认真的看，但是依然不肯下来。插销开关的声音引来了别的小朋友。 这时Noah做了一件三个星期以来最有进步的事。他主动要求下地，然后牵着我的手走到院子尽头一个大水管的塑料模型，笑眯眯的坐了进去！原来他最喜欢的玩具是这个，怪不得在家里也喜欢坐在壁炉里面。半封闭的小空间。

老师看到也带了其他小朋友跟过来，并把他从我手里接过去了。小家伙醒过味来，开始大声抗议。

总算有进步了，愿意自己下地了！慢慢会好起来的。

这个周末我还注意到另一个进步。往常我递给他新玩具，他都是把手里的玩具随手扔掉好接新东西。周末开始他会先小心翼翼把手里的宝贝在地板上一个个放好，然后再来接新的。应该是在学校学的吧？我们在家里从没想到教他这个。。。

今天早上换尿布时 还自己拿了新尿布给我。这个绝对是学校里学的。老师从一开始就说在教他们“帮忙”。慢慢的还会教育他们自己爬到换尿布的台子上躺好。。。  哦，对了，昨晚上回家他看了会电视，就爬下沙发，拉着我的手带我到了厨房，然后一屁股坐在地板上，等吃饭！所以虽然老师说他不喜欢和大家一起围着桌子吃饭，他其实还是知道吃饭要到特定的地方坐下来吃。也许我们该象学校里一样给他买套小桌椅，吃饭时用。。。。

Walking on the Beach

Another gorgeous weekend in San Francisco. Temperature is in the 80's under the sun. Not a hint of breeze.

After Noah's swimming class. we walked to the beach of Crissy Field, and waded in the shallow wave for a bit. Even though the water was still freezing cold, the warm temperature made it bearable. Noah loved standing on the sand and waiting for the wave to come up. He even raised one of his feet while waiting, as if trying to squash the wave as it arrived.

A few slightly bigger wave splashed his shorts wet, Noah got a little nervous as the wave kept getting higher. He turned around and asked to be picked up. But after a minute or two watching the wave from the safety of Mom's arms, he wiggled down to the sand and went toward the wave again.

上幼儿园两周

Noah上幼儿园，今天是第三个礼拜第一天。
早上照例七点天刚蒙蒙亮就兴致勃勃爬起来。看动画长片，吃早餐，如厕，九点十分上路。呼噜呼噜睡了三十分钟。到了幼儿园，又想玩又不想放我走。矛盾的很。最终把他交给老师，大哭着看我走。估计我出了门就会好。

两个礼拜里发了一次烧，逃课一天在家休养，现在还在流鼻涕。去医院检查身体，打了四针预防针，抽了两管血，我们看他可怜就又逃课一天在家玩。

在幼儿园学会了搭积木，学会了把玩具拿来跟别人分享，学会把水啊吃的跟爸妈分。学会要穿鞋穿袜时自己一屁股先坐下。

这个周末发现他喜欢自己给自己找一个小空间。常常钻到壁炉里猫猫睡觉的地方，把猫猫赶走，自己的宝贝玩具都拖进去，把垫子坛子在自己周围堆起来。有时把垫子毯子拖出来在地板上铺好然后躺上去。有一次背靠沙发把沙发上的厚毯子拽下来，围城一个小窝，旁边再放一个靠垫，“窝里”放了喜欢的几块积木，然后笑眯眯地坐进去。两只小胖脚在毯子上登啊登。

开始一个礼拜无论如何不肯睡觉。上礼拜开始终于肯睡了。上周五结结实实从十二点半睡到三点。吃东西也还好。遇见喜欢的午餐就大吃一顿。不喜欢就靠零食过日子。据老师说不喜欢吃豆子。可是看他们的菜单上几乎天天都吃豆子。所以也许只是某种豆子或者某种豆子的做法不合他的意？

上周开始喜欢屯东西。不吃也要在手里攥着。周五我去接他时，手里攥了一片梨。老师说已经攥了半个小时了，那之前攥了一小块胡萝卜。今天早上分吃爸爸的羊角面包，也是坚持要两个手一手攥了一小块，舍不得吃，用嘴直接接了爸爸喂给他吃的面包和香蕉。

First day @day care

More precisely, first half day.
Noah did pretty well. He was calm when we said goodbye to him after drop off. He was calm when we picked him up three and half hours later.

He wasn't even that excited to see us back. The sparkle in his eyes was less about "get me out of here", but more about "there were so many exciting new things i've done today".

Teachers told us he was very upset about an hour after we were gone. Later when his primary teacher iterated the details of how he got upset, we concluded that he got upset because he was bored after an hour playing indoors and wanted to go out. When that request wasn't granted, he threw a fit. In other words, he wasn't homesick, nor was he missing us.

He slept the whole way while we drove home.  The remainder of the day he spent playing in our house, and ate a ton of food. I've never seen him with such a healthy appetite.
