九点差几分钟，我们开始进行每晚此时的节目，规劝Noah去刷牙洗澡睡觉。窗外很配合的开始放鞭炮，车喇叭齐鸣。“巨人队赢了？”
等一切就绪小人上了小床，卧室外平时安静的小区居然有人开始放很响很亮的烟火。每一声“炮响”都会伴随着映在窗帘上的闪光。小人的脸在光影里一明一暗。我坐在小床边，一手拍他后背，一手抚着他的脸。不知道他会不会害怕的爬起来要抱。夏天有一次傍晚雷阵雨，雷声过后，本来在客厅地板上玩的他冲过半个客厅钻到我怀里。这次烟火响了很久，我数了有二十响。小人开始在黑暗中睁大了眼睛全神贯注听着，一声不吭，等烟火放完，他居然睡着了。街上的车鸣延续不断。窗内的小人呼呼大睡。

新学年
Jean去中国出差十天，回来正好赶上幼儿园学年转换放假三天。和小人在家厮混了一个长长的周末。再去学校就升了一级，从“学步幼童”(Toddlers)班升到“学前幼儿班”(Young Pre-School). 班上的人加倍，从十个变成二十个，教室，院子，老师都换了。
开始早上送他去学校，妈妈走的时候他都要大哭。今天早上稍有好转。先是腻在妈妈身上不下来。陪他换了尿布，洗了手，其他同学都在早餐桌前坐好等着吃早饭了，他拉着妈妈的手绕着早餐桌和桌边的同学们走了三圈，终于选了一张中意的椅子坐下来。接下来的举动很让妈妈意外。他坐好了就开始一边推妈妈一边挥手说拜拜，在赶妈妈走呢。
妈妈于是实相的出门，回头跟他抛飞吻，挥手，小人一直面带微笑镇静的坐在桌边看着妈妈走。
这种分别比听着他在身后放声大哭要好太多啦！
其实小人喜欢新环境喜欢的不得了。每天下午去接他都是高兴的无以复加。吃得也好睡的也好。昨晚甚至玩的开心不肯跟着妈妈回家！！幼儿园的一个老师今早跟我说这三天是她当老师以来最幸福的三天，每个孩子都那么开心。太难得了。

从暴力到和平的转化
自从Noah从喜欢“独乐乐”开始变到喜欢“众乐乐”以后，麻烦接踵而来。经常玩到兴起会突然给旁边的人一记重锤。小家伙又是个少见的大力士，单手拎得起的玩具往往很重。经常搞得幼儿园老师焦头烂额，怕他伤到其它孩子。在家里有时也会把平时坐的小车挥舞起来一同横扫。横扫玩具还好。旁边的人给轮到可真是吃不消。
和幼儿园老师开家长会时，大家猜测小人可能是玩的高兴，想跟大家分享，但是不知道怎么表达。老师们说也许看到他玩的开心时主动带他去和其他孩子交流，给他示范比较不暴力的交流方式。但是小人动作快的很，很难预料什么时候他想要交流什么时候不想。
这个礼拜事情有了转机。小家伙似乎自己琢磨出来了一套方式。
从周二开始每天下午去接他都会听到老师交口称赞他很大方，什么都可以跟其他小朋友分享。昨天晚上去接他时，当班的阿尼卡老师跟我说现在他已经到了硬要跟别人分享，对方不接受不行的地步（he want to share everything with everyone, and he gets upset when the other doesn't want it). 然后她说这一系列的转变似乎是从一个小故事开始的。那天有个小朋友在搭积木。小人跑过去想一起玩。对方不肯，举起小手跟他说“stop!"(停！）小人就换了个方式，主动递给对方一块积木，看到对方收下积木搭到自己的塔上，小人就拍手赞好。然后又递过去一块，再拍手。从那以后他就开始满世界给别人递玩具。自从他开始分享玩具的活动以来，无缘无故打人的次数已经明显下降了。
这几天去接他时也明显感到他的情绪比以往更放松更加有点由衷的开心的样子。
也许他自己搞明白了要交朋友暴力镇压适得其反，但是物质收买非常高效！
可是他是怎么搞明白的呢？！真神奇。

Sudden High Fever
Today daycare called me at 2:30pm, reporting Noah hasn't been himself since morning. unusually quiet and listless. Running a fever of 100.6F after waking up from nap and looking miserable.
I picked him up at 3 and went home. I gave him some acetaminophen (5ml). unlike a few months ago, he didn't fight but took it in three go. The fever receded by 5pm. He had some cocktail grapefruit (half), half a cup of milk. He seemed to regained his spirit. walked around and played for about an hour. The fever returned around 6:30pm. 101.5F.
He fell asleep around 7:30, by then he was really heating up, flashed cheek like what daycare teacher said he was after waking up from nap. this time it was 103F. He woke up crying. We gave him some ibuprofen around 8:30pm. Fever broke around 9:30pm.
It is 10:40pm now, he is asleep, the fever seems to be making another attempt at returning. but not as bad as before.
poor little guy. He really looked sick. Strangely his cough and running nose aren't exactly bad, even less severe than the last couple of weeks. I suppose tomorrow those symptom will come back. Hopefully fever wont. fingers crossed.
-----
4/18/2012 Update: fever came back, went as high as 102.7, then slowly backed down. Noah woke up around midnight and then 4am, insisting on going to the living room to watch some animation. His temperature dropped to lowest at 4am (98.9) but came back by morning. between midnight and 4am, he broke in lots of sweat, but still burning cheeks. crying for a while. poor baby.
had a couple of bites of porridge in the morning.
got him an 9am appointment at kaiser. Now waiting for Mi's update. I"m on my way to work (on shuttle). pins and needles. hope it is nothing too bad.
it is by far the worst fever he has ever gotten in his 22 month.
he is a strong baby, he should be able to pull through this.
Apparently doctor sent Noah home without any prescription drugs. No ear infection and lung sounds very clear. She suspects it is just a sudden virus infection. Advised Mi to continue feed Noah Tylenol and Ibuprufen. return to the hospital if his fever lasts 3 days.
Temperature 101F in the hospital, nurse fed him Tylenol. His spirit largely recovered once got home. Seems like Tylenol is working.

感冒×成长×复活节检蛋
二月初上吐下泻之后，整整两个月没有再生病。成了上幼儿园以来的黄金时段。每天都兴致勃勃，笑眯眯的去学校。老师们一致赞叹他的精力旺盛。
上个礼拜终于又病了。周五早上还发低烧。就留在家里过了个长周末。好些了。
周末还有个进步，有了帮忙的意愿和行动。
先是出门时坐在车后座，爸爸给他用纸巾擦鼻涕。他接过去，比划着自己擦。虽然都擦到手上没用到纸巾。至少表明知道纸巾是干这个用的。晚上回家抢了爸爸的不锈钢水瓶捧着喝水。还剩一些水的时候不知道为什么突然把水瓶丢在地毯上。妈妈做生气状问他为什么？把地毯都弄湿了吧？！他似乎也被自己的失手惊呆了。有些委屈的听妈妈的严厉问话。接下来却没有如往日一样嘴一扁就哭，反而做了一件大出我们意料的事。他蹲下去，拿了旁边一块纸巾，用力的擦起湿了的地毯来！！后来他自己站在地毯上看电影，似乎感觉到脚湿了（赤脚），先把稍微过长踩在脚下的裤腿提起来，然后又拿了纸巾擦裤子！
周末在院子里，看到我在浇花，忙不迭要求他也浇。用了小罐子从水桶里乘水，然后倒到花盆里。当然稀里哗啦撒了一地，只有很少量的水进了花盆。饶是如此，耐不住他一次次非常耐心坚持的往返，眼见着我可怜的花要给淹死了。忙指导他去浇院子里种在地下的花。这样泼泼洒洒反正都是土里进水，而且外面的花不怕淹。由着他的性子，过足了瘾作罢。
周日去了Dolores公园复活节检蛋活动。

索取和给予
周一去接小家伙时，老师说白天别的小朋友抱他，他开始有反应了。虽然还没有回抱过去，但是每次人家给他拥抱，他都会微笑。很享受的样子。
之后两天我和ZM都发现小东西再来要抱抱后会用手拍拍我们的后背。
今天早上去幼儿园，我们比往常早到。只有金发小女孩Ｌｅａｈ在。她是班上最喜欢拥抱别人的一个。看到Noah进来，她蹬蹬跑过来要抱Ｎｏａｈ。Ｎｏａｈ略微犹豫了一下，就走过去和Ｌｅａｈ抱在一起。我和老师在一边看得都“奥。。。”地叹息，好可爱。然后Ｎｏａｈ就把
Ｌｅａｈ推开，好像在说，好啦好啦可以啦。
今天下午去接他时，老师说以往小人都不喜欢和同学们打交道。很独立。今天先是拥抱
Ｌｅａｈ好几次，下午吃点心时居然主动用叉子叉了煮鸡蛋去喂他的好朋友Ｊｏｓｈｕａ。而其喂得很小心。
应该算小人社交生活第一步吧。
