Lexi's first day of school and others

So Lexi started school. She didn't cry at all even after i left.  The teachers say she only cried for about 2 minutes after she woke up from her nap and realized she wasn't home.

She is the bomb at her class, all the boys are all over her, they try to hold her hands and sit next to her during snack and art times.  (maybe only for a while since she is the new girl)

She has learned a lot already even with just 2 days of school, she came home dancing and singing on her own and she is better at cleaning up after herself.  She doesn't really eat much lunch though, i hope she gets used to that soon.  It's hard to see lunches come back at the end of the day, makes me wonder what she had at school, but it's great that she eats more at dinner and sleep through longer. Maybe all the playing and stimulation tires her out a lot more than just playing around at home with me. She quickly found Kyle and Brandan the first day of school and almost refused to go into her own classroom. The teachers just adore her, and they said she hadn't been hitting any one at all. Phewww! What a relief, for now.

Mean while Brandan had his first dental appointment. They cleaned his teeth and examed him, there is no cavities but the doctor want us to help him floss his molars.  It's been a challenge! He liked it though, the doctor's office had video games, fish tanks, movies and all sorts of toys. Every one gets to go home with a gift bag with more toys and teeth related things in it.  It's funny he kept asking me when he could go see the dentist again.

Our neighbour is moving to Texas, their boy Dylan is Brandan's age.  I feel so bad, B is going loss a great friend on the same street. I told him that Dylan is going to Texas and i showed him where it is.  Then B told me "mommy, it's far, you have to take an airplane to Texas, i am going tomorrow, i am going to stay with Dylan's grandma".  So innocent, not realizing what it really means to walk over this their house and not see them anymore.

Brandan had decided to be spiderman for this Halloween, we got his costum today, and he is so excited. Except for the mask part. He really wants to go to Disneyland for Halloween, but it's just too pricey. 85 per adult is just too much, and since we will have the kids with us, we won't be able to get on any rides at all. (And no more "it's a small world" ride for us either)   Maybe i will take him there for my birthday for the xmas decors, i can get in for free on my birthday this year, which will be a Wednesday!

It's Saturday night, and it doesn't feel like the weekend at all. Tony is up in NYC to visit his grandma and then will be going straight to work in SF.  Too much travel on his part, we might as well just go back to China!
