Let's see, April is almost over and it had just been full of action this month. Tony's birthday, Brandan's birthday, spring break and parties/playdates. Tony's birthday we ate sushi and as always that was Brandan's favorite food too. He ate both of the Salmon Roe sushi, but didn't like smelt eggs. However Lexi didn't care much for the salmon roe but liked the smelt. Both of them ate small amount of sashimi, and that just amazed all the people around us. While the other kids at a different table only ate california rolls. The kids understand it's Daddy's birthday too, they were treating him even more like a king by giving him lots of kisses and, of course, hyper.
For spring break, we couldn't go anywhere, Mexico is out of question due to the druglord wars. Tony had to work most of the week anyways, so we went to Knott's Berry Farm one day and Sea World the other day and relaxed between. The kids had a lot of fun and the weather was nice. we had Easter at Kyle's house and that was a blast for all the kids. It's hard to believe how much candy kids can eat. Especially Lexi, she is so sneaky, she will go ask for one little piece of candy from the older kids, and they will give it to her. Little pieces adds up to be a lot, i think she ate more candy than Brandan at the end of the party. Brandan has changed since the last time we went to any theme parks. Now he is so brave and just want to do the thrilling rides, big or small. For some baby looking rides, he didn't even want to stand in line for them. Lexi didn't care and just enjoyed all rides that she could get on. When we were at Sea World, we watched the Samu show and a few other things that we didn't when Kate and Khoa were here visiting in 2007. Out of the blues, Brandan said "mommy, i have been here before, i have watched this show before, and i was with 干媽.
On Brandan's birthday, we took him to disneyland, he is tall enough for a lot of the rides now even Space Mountain. He was so excited at the first, then he got a little scared right before we went into the roller coaster. Once we were in, he almost cried, but i told him to hold my hands. I thought maybe he just closed his eyes for the entire ride and cry through it. But he didn't, he came out so excited about it, and he even told me that it's all dark in it and lots of stars inside and we turned and turned in the dark. i regret for not getting the pictures of the ride.
He is so grown now, not just his physical features, he also uses logic and think more mature over things. He likes to say "#)(* person". He drank lots of water one day and said he was a "water person". He saw red cup cakes on a catalog today and said to me he didn't like pink, but he is still a cupcake person. He is also getting really good at riding his bike and the floor cart.
Today, we were on our way to the mall and i told him that we had to go there to get a battery for my PC. He said "no mommy, i will get it for you for Mother's day" after i told him that i need the battery today, then he told me that he will get me a big big rock band with diamonds on it for mother's day then. it was so cute and touchy. He sometimes will say strange things like "i want to eat something dangerous" although i have no idea what that would be.
With Brandan talking so well, he is also talking very well in Chinese. After he saw pictures of the new baby Mya, he told my mom that there is a new baby in the family and her name is "mya" and he even asked me how to say Mya in chinese before he told my mom. He is now more into helping Lexi out and showing her ways instead of fighting with her. He still does, and gets upset and cry when lexi just snatch things out of his hand. But he is becoming a lot more tolerable with her and her behavior. Lexi just doesn't ask for turns from Brandan and just takes toys away from Brandan's hand saying "it's mine". That's normally when the fight starts. But they also play together very well most of the times.
Lexi has been going to the pacific club with me a few times a week. She just got tired of it and didn't want to stay today, but after crying for a few minutes, she was happy again and she even played with girls. I think she is starting to realize that it's fun to play with other girls. Maybe because she is more grown that her intuition naturally steering her to the other girls to do more girlie stuff. She likes flowers and kitty cats right now and she constantly ask for grandpa...
She has an amazing memory, looking at pictures, she remembers Dylan and Dylan's mom. She remembers Lila and her mom.
