Life with PJ and Mei Mei
Life with PJ and Mei Mei
- April. For 7 days, PJ had a fever that bounced back and forth from 100 to 103 degrees F. This was not a happy time for anyone.
- On April 14th, Mei-Mei's first tooth came in.
- May was a big month for PJ as he was (a) potty trained, (b) moved from his "cribber" to the big bed, (c) stopped taking Miralax every day, and (d) starting taking swimming lessons. Also, for some reason known only to a 3-year-old, he bit me on my shoulder during dinner, hard enough to break the skin, but not enough to bleed. At the time of the incident, he was very happy and probably showing off for one of our dinner guests. He was not nearly so happy with the ensuing timeout. Another time during dinner, he made the following unsolicited comment: "Scrumptious!"
- May. Mei-mei has developed quite a personality, and has discovered she has quite a set of "pipes". She says "Da-Da" now, not only frequently but also loudly and is prone to fits of laughter when Mommy says "Eew-Eew" (Chinese for fish). During dinner, if the food isn't coming fast enough, she'll let us know.
- PJ: I hate you. Mama: Why? PJ: You always tell me what to do.
- Sunday morning, on June 12th, PJ and I drove to Los Gatos and I dropped the little guy off with Grandma and Grandpa. He was happy to go, but that night, he decided he wanted to go home and was quite unhappy. When he finally came home on Friday he gave me the best hug ever!
- June. While eating a plum, with an apparently sour peel, PJ noted "the peel makes my eyes feel silly." Now when he consumes sour items he often flutters his eyelids.
- While driving to get gelato with Mama and Mei-Mei on Father's Day, PJ started talking about Graham Hill Road in Felton. He said "Graham Hill Road in under construction…they are paving it with…Graham Crackers and…Traffic Jam".
- On June 20th PJ had his sweet, sweet, little heart broken for the first time. While playing with Riley, his 5-year-old Skytown classmate at Trader Joe's, Riley said to PJ, "STOP FOLLOWING ME". According to Mama, PJ buried his head into Mama and burst into tears.
- June. PJ wrote to Mommy while at Sky Town. He insisted Em's name was "Sue".
- PJ sings the "French Song". Click here for the audio file.
- PJ sings "Yaka Mika". Click here for the audio file.

PJ often takes great photos, such as this one. My shirt is still damp from my bike ride home from work.
Good work buddy!
Here's the letter that PJ wrote, with help from Grandma, to me during his 1-week trip to Grandma and Grandpa's.
