ABCs + First day of swim lesson

Since Aaron turned 2, he has been talking more and more.  It's amazing how much he can understand and speak in both languages, even though English is so dominating that he hardly answers me in Chinese. I blame myself for forgetting to speaking Chinese to him at all times because I have gotten so used to only speaking in English.  I am so proud that Aaron can sing the entire ABCs song by himself today. The little guy simply loves singing and playing with the music instruments. :) I should record his singing so I won't forget how cute he sings!

Aaron started his very first swim lesson today at Waterworks Aquatics in SJ! I have been procrastinating to take him to swim lesson since he was 6 months old as I didn't think I could handle going into the water with him. It's definitely a lot of work to go swimming with all the packing and showering at the swimming pool, but it's 110% worth it after just one lesson. Aaron loves being in the water and isn't afraid at all. He did amazingly well for his first lesson and I am definitely going back with him for more lessons.

Aaron is turning 2!

I don't even know how to describe my feelings that Aaron's turning 2. How did my little baby turn into this 2 year old toddler so quickly? It felt like yesterday that I just found out that I was pregnant. I still remember all the ups and downs of the pregnancy so vividly, and all of a sudden my baby is no longer a baby already. This whole motherhood experience is so real yet feel so surreal at the same time.  I am learning new things about how to raise a child every day. There's no guideline to tell me what's right or wrong. I just have to follow my own instincts and take it one day at a time.

Hello! I am 2 today!

Aaron's 2nd Birthday Party!

Daddy is finally back from NY just in time to help with the last minute tasks for Aaron's birthday party. We are hosting Aaron's birthday party at KidsPark this year and invited all his little friends. I originally planned to book the Steven's Creek location but it was already taken. Fortunately the Oakridge location is still open and it's actually closer to our home.

All the kids we invited showed up and everyone had a blast as they could play and roam freely everywhere. Aaron definitely had a lot of fun running, screaming, and playing with all the toys he has never seen before. Even though he might not remember any of this, I still think it worths all the effort and time. I hope Aaron would look back one day and feel that he had a happy childhood knowing that his mommy and daddy love him.

My silly 2 year old Aaron :D
