Family outing for fun!

We went to Funderland near by Sacramento Zoo and Fairytale park.

They are right across each other among the beautiful park.

Funderland is the amusement park for kids between 2 to 5 year old.

Erika told me about this place so I wanted to go for our family trip.

This place will be closed from Thanksgiving day to Next year January.

So we need to rush!

Fortunately the weather was perfect!

We deiced to go for this weekends!

Max didn't like this water boat for the first time.

Because he didn't like just sitting!

but after a boat started to moving Max was great!

This one was pretty fast!

I was very surprised haha

I hold Max tighter.

chu chu chu~

Max loves trains!

We just kept laughing about this.

Max loved it for the first time but this fish ride was pretty long ^^;

Max was getting tired and having dark circles under his eyes lol

Max looks like exactly Alex when he was tired lol

Click the picture if you want to see Max's tired face!

Max loves this one

He ride this twice!!

I should have sit front sit so I could take better pictures!

Max loved~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ this train!!

Great size of park!

Not huge and not too small.

If you lost your kids you can easily find your kids.

Because basically you can see whole place easily!

It was short trip less than 2 hours because of there aren't many rides for 2 year old.

but Max really enjoyed!

That's all matter!

Don't call me a girl..

I love trains & cars & trucks!!

I am wearing BOY''s cloths!

I am wearing BLUE jacket!

I have cool friend!!

I love trucks!!!

Wherever we go and meet someone often ask us

"How old is she?"

"Oh she is so adorable!"

but Max was totally boy's outfit!

Last week Evan and Max were having lunch in Taco bell,

One of mom over there asked me and said,

"How old is she?"

"She is so cute!!"

and when Alex was in Target with Max

one lady said "She is very cute"

Alex frustrated and corrected her

"HE"

Today I was at Barns & Noble in the Thomas train area,

one boy kept saying to Max

Sweetie every end of sentence when he said something to Max.

Don't touch it Sweetie,

Just look at it Sweetie..

and later that boy asked me How old is she?

and said

She is keep touching my train!!

I told him

Max is a boy.

Not she - not a girl.

That boy looked at me with doubtful face~

and really didn't believe me, didn't believe Max is a boy.

and kept saying "SHE"

Later that boy's mom came and told her boy,

"You should share with her,

Let her touch your train, okay?"

hahahaha

and later Max and Evan went to open gym..

One older boy(maybe 5 year old) kept following Max

and had lots of fun with a really gentle manner.

He helped Max when Max fell, He shared everything(toys, other fun tools) with Max

if Max wanted.

Later when I called Max

That boy looked at me with a surprising face.

because Max is boys name.

and Later one of moms came to me and ask

if Max is a boy or girl lol

haha

I know it made Alex mad.

Alex thinks because of Max's hair.

Finally Alex decided do Max haircut.

Alex was hard to let go of Max long? hair because we both can't imagine how Max would look like

after haircut..and actually we love Max hair right now.

Max always shows us funny morning hair every morning^^

but it's time to change^^

I've been busy but...

I have been busy definitely,,

Since Max started to go Youngster Gym and hung out with moms..

went to the park or went to the Barns&nobles ,,,

Or we went to Target ,,,

and we went to Mom's group once or twice a week.

I loved it!! I love being busy!

But Max's got a cold..Getting better but still going on.

We'd been staying home everyday...so far..since Max got a cold.

(We went to outside few times because Max wanted but I realized if we go outside every time when he wanted, Cold would never go away!)

Max and I felt so bored at home.

Max brought shoes to me...and waited in front of door to go out!

When I said No,,,you are sick we need to stay home.

Max gets so mad at me!

Throwing shoes at me and start to cry..

It's been a week!

I couldn't wait..

I would've never waited if I were in Korea.

but everybody said here wait for a week, if cold is getting worse and go to see a doc!

Anyway,

We went to see Max's doctor..

Max always loves the lobby in the hospital!

but Max face gets very upsets when we enter the main area inside..

and Max starts to crying when we go inside the office!

Max wants to go out and crying in front of door that tells me

open the door!

Lets go home!

but We were still waiting for a doc!

Your doctor hasn't checked you yet Max!

I gave him sweets/candies etc..

NOTHING WORKED!

HE JUST WANTS TO GET OUT OF HERE!

WORST THING HAPPEN

I always lose way back home.

Around around around the downtown Sacramento..

finally call to ALEX!

Every time when I go somewhere by myself,

I am really good at finding places from google map.

but I am so so terrible&bad at coming back home!

I don't know why!

I never find freeway enterance!

also...

There are so many freeways in Sacramento!!!!!!

80 east/west

99

I-5

50 something

etc..

When I go somewhere if there is more than 2 freeways to pass(through)

I don't go-

I give up -

because I know I would never be able to come home.

The sweetest pirates on Earth.

Max got a package from sweet grandma Kate!

Max was very interested and excited to wear!

When we put Halloween outfit to Max

Max felt funny himself(maybe) and laughing and running all over the house!

Alex and I were laughing and enjoying to see Max wearing Halloween costume ~

Evan's family invited to us for trick or treat!

We had pizza for dinner and cupcakes!

These two boys got so excited when someone ring the bell!

Alex finished school early that day so he could join trick or treat with us!

I was very happy to see Alex!!!

This one picture is the best picture I took that day!

Both of them were in the same picture without moving!

Fairytale Town Max

Max and I arrived 15 minutes early!

Wow! I am pround of me!!

I packed our lunch&snacks&drinks etc..

I arrived early!

I let Max runs around the park.

Max loved pouring water -.-;;;

I met a mom at Barns and noble in the kids' play&read area.

Max and Even played so well!!

She was the one who told me about the youngster gym!

Her name is Erika, and her boy's name is Even!

After the open gym on Friday we go to lunch together.

You can tell from their smile!!

they are enjoying!!

Even is also so adorable boy!

He likes me too! ^^

Right?

I was very happy to see Max's smile!

Both of them were having fun!

She asked me my phone number first that I was shy to ask..

and she wanted us join their lunch after open gym.

Max and Even shared the lunch and she asked my phone number,

I was very happy!!

Hey Max you were really nice today!

but very very very very fussy when we had a lunch there!

You were chasing around the chickens..everywhere

(they let the animals go everywhere so Kids can touch and follow) -.-;;

You are a fast runner!!!

But Mom is very happy that you had a good day!

behind the story.

Erika and I often met at barns and noble..

and one day Alex and I went to the mall where is pretty far away from our home.

It is the biggest mall in Sacramento.

and I met her again there in the kid play area!

and we kept seeing each other totally strange places.. not even near by our home.

and next week we met at barns and noble again,,

How does she and I know each other we'll meet once a week bewteen 10:30 - 12??

when I went to on Wednesday at 11 she was there

Next week when I went on Tuesday at 10:30 she was there

When I went to next next week on Thursday at 12 I met her too!

isn't it funny?? ^^

we didn't make an any arrangements to meet there ^^

and she asked me if we are going to come open gym on Friday

so I said we are going to go every Friday open gym.

We met following friday and we had lunch^^

She called me if we want to go to the fairytale town!

This is the pictures came from!

Yesterday I went to Barns and Noble again.

Because No gym, No mom's group so I decided to go there.

You know what who I met??

I met all of them I've seen so far at barns and noble more than twice!

Two moms that I used to see a lot there (Erika and other mom)

and I met a mom from Natomas Mom's group,

and I met our neighborhood that I open see her at the park.

wow!!

isn't it amazing???

We all had fun each other

funny thing is I knew all of them

but others met there for the first time which means they didn't know each other.

hahaha

Fashionistar in the park.

You know Max,

He doesn't like wearing a hat!

He throw a way on the ground Alex picked up and had on his head!

Look at their eye contact!

They are so in love and adorable!!!

Max's stylist is Alex!

Dad knows what looks cool on Max!

He grows so fast!

I just can't believe my boy is growing so fast..

When I don't have Mom's group or Youngster gym or other appts

I always go to Barns & noble reading books with him and let him play with trains with other kids!

My days goes way faster since Max starts going his activities!

I met lots of good moms that I can hang out and I want to hang out with.

I hope Max grows fun & kind & warmhearted boy under our love and happy family!

because we love him so so much!!!

Learning through books and happy life

Children should know about food, should learn how to handle and prepare it.

I think of it is as a life skill no less important than any other

maybe more so as it will enable them to take control of their health as they get older.

from Gwyneth Paltro.

I borrowed this book from the library.

I normally don't read the books from celebrities no matter what -

But I like her as a actress/style and I was curious about her.

You know,

I always Max won't let in the kitchen when I am cooking,

because it's dangerous and I want to quickly finish cooking and eat!

This book tells me that involving your children into the kitchen will be a great help them to understanding about food and make them achieve to helping prepare the food with parents.

(with under parents safety and guide)

I honestly felt bad about Max What I did to him.

According to book,

all the noises and sounds from the kitchen make children curious and wants to involve! The curiosity is totally normal to children.

Under parents safety and guide it's okay to your child involve some work like let them put salt or sugar in the food or make them stirring food or give them some work to achieve their feelings!

(it makes less picky eater and more open to any other foods)

This book totally changed my mind!

I can't follow all the organic healthy life style like her but I like the way she raise her children that I want to follow some.

I want to learn about children and knows better.

I want to be the parents that I hope to be.

You know what makes me happiest woman in the world?

Seeing this!

Dad and son having amazing bonding time!

I love them so much!!!

+ Alex asked Max what car would you like in the future?

Max picked Ferrari!

haha

Dad need to work harder to afford your Ferrari!
