My picture at the Award Ceremony, Mommy!!

This evening, Tasha will participate in her first Tae Kwon Do Award Ceremony and she is excited to have her new degree Tae Kwon Do belt and first achievement certificate (Little Dragon).

This morning, while I was having a breakfast with Sonya, Tasha spent time drawing a picture.

When she was done, she couldn't wait to show me her picture. After I looked at it, I thought "Oh my, my daughter drew a naked picture of herself!! I suddenly asked her to make sure what she had in her mind.

"Tasha, are those nipples?" I asked with a giggling voice.

"And what is that?" I continued.

"That is my new Tae Kwon Do belt and those are uniform patches" Tasha answered.

After I heard the answer, I just couldn't stop laughing and of course, I praised her for this great imagination through her beautiful picture.

What a silly mom (dad too!)!

Writing numbers 1-10

After I had been busy with all household work in the morning through lunch time, I decided to relax on the couch playing Bloons game from my iphone (you must try!!!). However, my fun time was over within 10 minutes after I heard my 2 little timekeepers asking me to read the books. We read books, played flash cards and number stencils then Sonya took a nap (finally!!!).

Even though I was so exhausted, Tasha deserved a special learning & playing time alone with me. Before we played Bingo, I taught Tasha how to write 1 in word (ONE). Then we reviewed how to write number 1-10 (since 5 years old children sometimes still write numbers backward).

"Can you write the numbers 1-10 please"? Asked Mom.

Tasha wrote 2

"Tasha, can you write the numbers 1-10 please so Mommy can see if you still write backward or not?" Asked Mom.

Tasha wrote 1 to 10

"Tasha, can you write the numbers 1-10 please so Mommy can see if you still write backward or not?" Asked Mom with her grumpy voice but had a bit smile on her face.

Tasha wrote 10 9 8 7 6 5........

"Tasha, write 1-10 please" Ased Mom

"I don't know how to write 1-10" Cried Tasha

"Tasha, here how to write 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10" Mom told Tasha and showed her how to write.

"Oh! I thought you asked me to write in words" Tasha said and finally she wrote 1-10.

At that moment, I just couldn't wait to tell Mark this story over dinner time..LOL.

Tasha's first day of Tae Kwon Do

"Mommy, why it took so long to Tae kwon Do class?" Tasha had been asking for days.

Finally, today, her first day of Tae Kwon Do arrived. She was so excited and couldn't wait to start the class. Just only one day (30 minutes), I could tell that Tasha would love to continue for years. After her 1st class was done, she told me "Mom, I can't wait to come back"

At the same time, outside the classroom, while Sonya and I were waiting for Tasha, Sonya kept telling me "I want to go in there too, it is not fair...hmmm". Absolutely, Sonya will be joining Tasha very soon (yes, in 2 more years).

On the way home, Tasha was so proud of herself as she asked me "Mom, did you see me jump over the mountain?...I know I didn't jump so high but I know I did a great job today". I said nothing but my face was so full of smiles.

Tasha's first performance at school

We all know that Tasha is going to have her first performance at her school on this coming Monday (June 1). It is called World Music Concert. Today, I was pretty much busy looking for her white dress....It was crazy that when I needed one, I just couldn't find it anywhere. Where were those white outfits I saw before?

Well, Tasha is excited and seems a little nervous now. Yeah! I understand....first time on stage with hundred of people looking at her.

Anyway, one thing we still don't know about the show....what is she going to perform???

She told me "Mommy, it's a secret!"

If so, we need to wait until Monday then. I just can't wait to take VDO and lot of photos for her first performance.
