First Week of School

Charlotte has officially started pre school. Her first week was great. She went out full force on her very first day when she was all pumped up. Pre school in the morning followed by Chinese classes in the afternoon. She was talking about it all weekend and seemed all ready. I was very pleased with her first day. 8am-3pm for preschool, followed by 3.30pm-5pm for Chinese class. Initially, I was worried that she will be tired out. But she proved me wrong. She still went to bed at 9pm at night. She came home in high spirits, singing and dancing away the entire night. So far, she did not cry at all at drop off. However her enthusiasm is dying off as the days go by and it has only been a week! She would demand big hug and kisses forever before letting me go these days. But at least she's not crying. I hope she will grow to love school more as the days go by. The school took some really nice pictures of Charlotte on her first week.

Cruise

A week after our yoga retreat, we went for another little getaway. This time on a cruise. To be specific, we went for the carnival cruise. It took us from Long Beach to Ensenada. It was our first time on a cruise as a family. Everyone is always saying that a cruise is a perfect trip for families with kids so we decided to give it a try. Well minus the little bit of sea sickness that Charlotte and I felt, it would be a better trip haha. I could see Charlotte's energy level going down on the second day when the sea was a little choppy. She still managed to eat a lot though which was fortunate. So basically, we ate non stop on the cruise. I think that is what cruise are all about. This was Charlotte, getting all pumped about getting on a cruise. But I think she never quite understood that she was actually on a very big ship all along. She saw those life boats hanging on the side of the ship and kept asking if we are getting on it hahaha. We chose a room with a window. Definitely
