31

I like that old picture a lot.

We are lucky to have many pictures like that, from the time that I was a baby to the time that I have my own baby. 

My 31st birthday was another great memory of my lifetime.

I just wish my grandma was there too.

I remember I usually gave something I drew or made as presents when I was little.

That, however, didn't apply to my 4-year-old daughter.

Mo asked Jeff to pay for the necklace and the bangle she picked for me from the store that I took her once before.

I like them both very much though.

I also got the bubble bath thingy from Jeff.

Egg Hunt on Easter Sunday

As we live in Taiwan, Easter doesn't really mean anything to us.

But still, the egg hunt on Easter Sunday would be a fun activity for Mo.

The first-time player Mo moved really slow as other big kids were like scouts spotting all the hidden eggs.

Eventually, Mo got her 8 eggs and we took 2 beautiful eggs that she drew home.

The schedule for Saturday was Eslite Bookstore-The Lorax-Night Market Steak.

Nice Weekend for Princess Mo

Princess Mo arrived home in the flying bath tub at the Saturday night.

We now have our own private hot spring.

I can't imagine the life without a bathtub.

We went to the beautiful campus of Taipei University of Arts on Sunday.

For some reason, I always try to play catch with Mo and Mo always plays by her own roles.

Anyway, we managed to satisfy everyone's need for a sunny afternoon.

Mo just called me!

I call Mo from work everyday and she usually refuses to take the calls.

Sometimes I get to hear Mo says "bye!" before she hangs up the phone which means Mo is in a very good mood.

My mom is quite happy delivering these rejections because I did that to her when she called me from Europe almost 30 years ago.

This time, Mo asked Jeff to call me because she wanted to talk to me.

FIRST TIME EVER!

We talked about what she did this morning, what she ate for breakfast, what she wanted for her daily little present and the dinner tonight.

I told Mo I love her.

Mo said she loves me too and she cried when she woke up without me by her side as I had gone to work.

My Mo Mo is all grown up...

Strawberries!!!

Ma:你想不想去採草莓?

Mo:好啊~ 是要用腳把它踩扁扁嗎?

Ma:是用手採不是用腳踩... 不一樣...

Mo:ㄛ~

I had been thinking about strawberries since December.

After two hours on the train and another two hours on the bus, we finally arrived 大湖 an hour before it was totally dark.

Two of us were shouting and jumping over excitement when we saw all the strawberries fields surrounded by mountains.

Mo ran around in the field immediately getting every "big and red" strawberry she found.

In the mean time, I was getting worried for the amount of strawberries accumulated in our basket but I just couldn't damp down Mo's spirits.

Anyway, who can resist from strawberries?

We then enjoyed strawberry ice cream and strawberry da fu in the strawberry museum with two big box of strawberries, Mo's strawberry balloon and my strawberry wine in our hands.

It's was one o'clock in the morning when we got home.

Mo:採草莓實在是太好玩了! 可是我不喜歡吃草莓ㄟ~

Ma:可是你喜歡草莓冰淇淋啊? 草莓冰淇淋就是用草莓做的啊!

Mo:草莓冰淇淋是粉紅色的啊!

Ma:...

P. S. We also had hotpot in 辣霸子 with Wei Wei on Monday night.

Tired Old Jeff

Jeff starts his work around 2pm.

I start mine around 10am.

Jeff is off from work around 11pm if he isn't getting drunk somewhere else.

I am off around 7pm.

At home, Jeff eats his food, drinks any alcoholic beverage he can get, watches his TV until he falls asleep when is around 12am.

After work, I eat with Mo, play with Mo, give Mo a bath, make Mo her bottle of milk, read Mo bed time stories until Mo falls asleep when is around 2am.

Jeff sleeps for 12 hours a day.

I sleep for 6 hours a day.

I try my best to figure out why is Jeff always TOO TIRED to be involved in any family affair as he is usually quite energetic partying with his pals anytime but I just can't.

It's funny to watch a bitch kisses an asshole's ass by admiring how exhausted he is though.

李謨謨三歲前夕包山包海趴趴走-5

It's Mo's 3rd birthday!

Unfortunately we had to go home and spent almost the whole day in traffic.

We went for another swim after the big breakfast (Mo made me a toast with jam).

It wasn't really warm enough this time.

Even Mo gave up in few minutes and had her fun in the children's zone.

Of course, I didn't miss the chance to visit Starbucks Coffee I worked for although I didn't know anyone there anymore.

We made it to have the birthday cake with grandpa and grandma at late night.

Dear Mo Mo,

Happy Birthday to My 3-Year-Old!

I hope you will remember the great time we had together.

I know you will.

You are still asking to sleep with Belugas or go back to Flying Cow Ranch every few days.

Love You

Mommy
