Little J.J. just got a new favorite sentence and he has been trying it in various occasions relentlessly.
One day, he came home from Summer camp with big brother A.J. and looked very tired. He just sat there quietly while A.J. talked about all the things they did in Sports Camp.
A.J. went on and on, and finally was about to take a break from the talking. Just then, J.J. said, "Gee, what's the point ?"
I never heard him saying that before, so I asked him,
"J.J. what did you say ?"
Little J.J. is curious why mommy always has to go to work.
I explained to him that I need to work to make money for things like food and toys, cars etc. Having teleconf at night is also work.
J.J. seems to understand that and always very cooperative when I have to have teleconf in the evening.
One night, I have to tell J.J. to go outside to play so that I can have teleconf in home office. J.J. left quickly, but came back to check on me every few minutes.
"Do you need anything, sweetie ?" I asked him.

Happy Mother's Day, Mom
J.J. was about one-year old and had to go to full-time daycare.
He fought it as hard as he could by crying as if the sky is falling. He cried so hard every day at dropoff that made his daycare teachers turned into tears, besides me.
He would cry loud and hard up to an hour and the teachers had to take him out of the baby room for a stroll outside. He wouldn't give up crying until used up all his energy, exhausted and fell into sleep. He did this every day and for more than a month.
Sunday dinner time, Little J.J. suddenly said to Mommy,
"Mommy, I will always love you."
"Thank you, Sweetie, me too" This little guy really has a sweet tongue.
"Do you know why you love me ?" I didn't expect that question.
"Why ? what do you think ?" I asked him.
"I know, mommy, because I am special" said J.J.
He then started to sing a song,
Special, Special, Special me
I am Special as I Can be
Special, Special, Special me
It was a very busy day. I managed to sneak out of meetings at 4pm to take the two boys to Dental check-up. On the way to doctor's office, little J.J and A.J. started to talk about Doctors.
"Dentist are not real doctors, right?" J.J. asked.
"No, they are not. Real Doctors always check your heartbeat first, and your temperature, to see how sick you are to start with" A.J. answered very firmly.
"Yeah, Dentists just work on teeth stuff" J.J. agreed.
A.J. was about two years old. He got interested in trying on Grandpa and Dad's big shoes.
One day after dinner, he started to try on everyone else's big shoes again and walk round in the house and had a lot of fun.
Then he walked in kitchen giggling,
"Look, Look at me, Mommy" still smiling.
"What's up ? Buddy " Said mommy.
"Look, my shoes look funny, they made turns" Said little A.J.
I took a look at his shoes, they look funny indeed.
The shoes were put on the wrong feet.
Little J.J. started to learn math and likes to play with big brother A.J. on math games.
One day, while they are both in bath tube and covered with bubbles, a new game started.
"How old was you when I was just a baby, A.J. ?" J.J. asked.
"I was three when you were born" A.J. answered.
"I will be five in Sep, so you will be eight then" J.J. figured.
"Yes, when you are 10, and I will be 13, I will be always ahead of you" A.J. said proudly.
"Ok, How old will you be when I am 100 ?" J.J. asked.
One Sunday, 5-year-old J.J. learned that Mom was not feeling well and immediately said,
"Mommy, don't worry, me, A.J. and Dad will take care of you."
"Thank you, Sweetie. " I was a little surprised.
"Do you know how to take care of Mommy ?"
"Yes, I know, I will cook some food for you" J.J. was very confident.
"Really, what are you going to cook ?" I was very curious.
"That is easy, Mommy, I will cook you some healthy food, so you will feel better very soon"
Saturday night, Little J.J. feel relieved after he confirmed with Mommy that there is no school tomorrow the next day, Sunday. He doesn't have to get up early then. He is very happy about that.
Then he thought about his favorite game figure super Mario and said,
"Mommy, Super Mario does not have to go to school, even Monday through Friday."
"Why is so ?" Mommy asked.
"Becaused he lives in outer space, not in United States, Mommy"
"Are you sure ?" Mommy asked.
