Me: What do you think the most important things in life? I think first, eat well, so you can live well. Second, having babies, since they are our offspring, they continue our life.  Plus, they are so cute, look at that thing in the saucer. (Lucas is in his excersaucer.)
Ron: Hehe.
Me: Third, creation. Men need to create to evolve, to live better.
Ron: Right. ( I am thinking: of course, nerds like to hear that.) And making babies are one of the forms of creations. (I am thinking: right on track! )
Me: Exactly, we should make more!
Ron: NO!
Me: Why not?
Ron: Because we have already had two, two is enough!
Doh! I thought I was being logical to try to reason with a nerd.

今年， 我家又添了一个小美胖–Lucas。 叫他美胖，因为他就是我的又美又胖。 小美胖还不懂啥是Halloween, 还得再等上两三年。 但是我还是给他置办了Halloweençš„costume。  邻居看到他，大呼”Cute!”  我这做妈的心里美滋滋的。 我的美胖真可爱！特别是他头顶当中的一撮毛，弯曲地翘着。让人忍俊不禁。 今年，Danny比去年更能理解Halloween, 知道敲了门后，要说trick or treat。 然后就能拿到candy.  穿着自己挑选的dragon costume, 在街上大声的roaring…不亦乐乎。

每年这个时候，也是我俩的生日。 对于两个都不罗曼蒂克的人来说，这真是个好事，因为谁也不会忘了谁的生日。 我们的生日就是个礼物交换的过程。 为了让Danny知道爸爸妈妈也过生日的，我让Ron做了一个蛋糕。 看着蛋糕，Danny confuse 了很久，说为啥不是他的生日。 我们告诉他，他的生日还要等到明年3月，今天是爸爸妈妈的生日，爸爸妈妈许愿后，要爸爸妈妈吹蜡烛，不是他吹。 小家伙不爽了很久，等到唱完生日歌，我们还没来得及许完愿, 他就呼的一声，把蜡烛给吹了。 于是他便开心了起来。 想必幼儿园里，但凡有那个小朋友过生日，他的蜡烛也是全体小朋友竞赛给吹灭的。

过生日的时候，自己给自己买了一束花。 犹豫了好久要不要买，因为花盛开时是美丽的，但是在凋零的时候，确是非常的枯萎污浊。 后来想通了，life is made of moments.  在开心快乐的时刻，我们要尽情享受生活赋予我们的美好事物。 年华似水，岁月蹉跎，该幸福的时候就要幸福。 就象每次抱着我的宝宝，我多希望时间永久停止在这一刻，但我也知道，宝宝终究长大成人，我们也会慢慢老去。  所以该幸福的时候就要幸福！

今天家里有客人来，Danny坐在饭桌上（他总是坐在桌头，主人的位置 ），开饭前，他说了句“Bon appetit”.  以前家里有客人来，他也说过， 不过说的不清楚，大家都没有搞明白他到底在说什么。 这次他解释了， 原来在幼儿园，每次开饭前，老师说了”Bon appetit”之后，小朋友才可以开饭。 Danny把规矩带到了家中，告诉老爸，先不许吃，要等老师说了”Bon appetit”之后才可以吃。老爸问，那谁是老师呀？ Danny说，”I am the teacher.” 好吧，大家分好食物，等他一声令下，开始动叉。。。

我在一旁，看在眼里，乐在心里。 有两小儿相伴，好幸福！

Danny急不可耐要出门，妈妈还在让他摆pose...

I always have the fear that Danny will grow up to be so Canadian and one day he will think differently about his mommy because mommy is too alien to him.  After spending less and less time with him since Lucas arrived, the worrying isn’t getting any lighter.  He says “Thanks mommy” when I am not expecting it.  He is growing up fast and giving me little shocks here and there all the time.  And also he is bringing new words to me which I don’t understand. Sometimes I question myself: “Is this still my Danny?”

I know this is inevitable as his mommy was raised in a totally different culture than him so I just tell myself to enjoy the time being with him as much as I can.  And one day if it really becomes unpleasant between us, still I have many warm memories.

Danny was not an early talker( I guess one of the reasons is that he doesn’t have a talkative mommy).  But when he started to talk, he brought us lots of fun:  That was back when he was still the only child in the house:

One morning, Danny woke up and climbed to our bed, sleeping between us,  and giving us kisses.  I said “Daddy is stinky”, referring to his morning breath.  Danny said right away:” Yeah, daddy, go change your underwear!”

One day, we were at John and Jude’s place, for dinner.  Kids were all downstairs in the basement playing already when we arrived.  I asked Danny: “Do you want to go downstairs to play with the kids?”  He nodded.  I lead him to the door of the basement.  He leaned forward, bent down and yelled “Hi kids, do you want to play with me?”

One morning, I was dressing Danny and he made a noise with his bum.  I looked at him and asked what that was.  He told me:” There is a bubble in my bum. ”

Thank you my Danny, for all the happiness you brought to mommy.

怀抱着Lucas，犹如仍旧抱着我当年的小Danny。 转眼一看，那个在屋内活蹦乱跳，一刻不停的小男孩不是我的Danny，又是谁？ 是啊，Danny已经3岁了。 伴随着Danny的成长， 我们也在不知所措，担忧和快乐中度过了3年。  随着Lucas的来临，Danny也渐渐地不再是家里的小baby了。 陪伴Danny的时间也大大缩水。 如今，Daddy担任Danny的主要的caregiver.

常常把Lucas叫成Danny, 惊觉间，感叹那流逝的3年，尽恍如昨天。

每每只有在Dannyå’ŒLucas都在熟睡中，来到Danny的床前, 轻抚我曾经的小baby。 看着他熟睡的憨态，想到他可怜兮兮地asking for mommy’s hug。。。

Love is still there, but time is not.

没想到自己可以这么宅。 哪儿都不想去。 整天窝在家里，还觉得好享受。 实在不得已要出门买菜，也是快去快回。 也许冬天到了，是时候冬眠了。 要不是家里有几张嗷嗷待哺的嘴（其中以我的嘴最难满足，不仅挑剔，而且须进食频繁 ），我真想冬眠算了。 对于我来说，睡眠远比进食重要。 怎奈现在处于非常时期，饿肚子带来的不适感呈几何倍数放大。 我比较不喜欢这种感觉，因需不断觅食，感觉自己活得就象一个原始动物一样。  不过自从有了Danny后，渐已明白自己不再是只为自己活着。 要学着照顾好自己和孩子，还有孩子他爸。 母性是一种本能。 俺，也就是一个动物。

生活趋于原始，意识形态也开始退化，走向原始。  一日出门逛mall和菜市场，到处寻找挂钟，生怕误了时间来不及做饭。 匆匆回家之后，发觉手表一直就在手腕上。。。一日手机没电，插入充电器充电。 次日寻遍整个houseå’Œpurse，包括找了放充电器的桌子两次，钝到竟没看到。。。  一日晚间，要关一车库门，摁了按钮，进了屋。 次日发现却有两扇车库门大开。  正在疑惑是不是遭贼了。 老公在旁说了:”someone thought she closed the garage door yesterday but opened the other one. ” 原来是摁错button了。 想当年，我也算是个仔细小心的人儿。 罢了罢了，往日雄风不在。 俺，也就是一个钝物。

每日4pm, 挣扎着从床上爬起。 开始在厨房忙活。 经过一段时间的锻炼，随便弄几个家常菜倒也不在话下 （好吃不好吃是另外回事 ）。 等到老公儿子回家，也是检验我的劳动成果的时候。 在他们追逐玩笑嬉戏中，我把最后的准备工作做完。 儿子稚嫩的笑声好比是给我又宅又钝的生活注射了一剂兴奋剂。 而每当他张大嘴巴把他的dinner全部吃完， 我已经幸福得不能自拔。  这一天，虽然又宅又钝，可也真没白过！
