1. I am breast feeding our new born Kuan. Kuan's big brother Tang Sheng is very interested in that, and he wants to become a parent as well. One day, he made an announcement "Papa, Mama, come over to see my twin children!" Holding Kuan, I rushed to my oldest, realized that Kuan's swing was occupied by two lovely kids! One looks like a dog and another like a monkey. They were peacefully lying in the swing--covered with Kuan's blanket. "Nice and warm", Tang Sheng pointed the blanket to me and said "Shh..." After a while, by the time the twins are hungry, Tang Sheng picked them up, rolled up his own shirt, held the twins over his chest and started nursing...
2. Tang Sheng really enjoys being a helpful big brother. He often helps Dad to take care of Kuan, such as holding the pacifier in the right place--the two months old's mouth. One day, Tang Sheng looks at Dad, feels very proud of himself, and says "Papa, you and I are a good team to take care of Kuan!", "But...", he continues... "Our nipples don't work!"
3. As the end of my maternity leave approaches, I started dreaming getting rich over night so that I can stay at home being a full time mom and still don't need to worry about money. "I should start buying lottery!" On the Chinese New Year's day, over the restaurant table with our kids, I'm saying this again to Philip who thinks lottery is a cruel tax to mathematically challenged people. Unlike most of our situations, this time I trusted him. Didn't want me to feel hopeless, he started suggesting something more certain "You can rob bank." The four year old Tang Sheng who was looking at his brother a moment ago all of sudden now is looking at me! I then told him "I'm not going to rob a bank, you know, they are going to put me in jail. If I were in jail, what are you going to do?!" "Mama" he said in a firm voice "I will save you!"
