Santa & Erik

Erik visited Santa TODAY! He told me that he already told Santa he wants a sled for Christmas, so he doesn't need to send a letter to Santa!:)

Skin Tone

I was asking Erik why his shoes are full of sands. He told me he was playing bury sand with Alex at the school playground. So I asked him, " Alex? Do you like him." Erik said," Yes, I like him. He has brown face and brown body." I asked," What color is your face?" Erik said," White and brown." I said," Oh, so what color is mommy's face?" Erik told me," Dark color."

Learned at the SCHOOL!

Erik as a kindergartner for over a month. Every day after school, I ask him," What did you learn today." He answers:" I don't know." I think he is too tired to give me some right answers after whole day school. One day, I looked at his little school packet has handmade business card of school staffs with little black and white photos on it. I pointed at the principle's photo and asked him," Erik, who is that." Erik answered me very surely," OH, Mr. Schooler, he makes kids in trouble." That is funny! Every night, when we do the bedtime story, Erik teaches me ONE MORE thing- Mom, you have to do this: (he show me how to holding a BOOK!)- I HAVE TO put my thumb and little finger ONLY on the middle of the open page on the book. MOM, MRS ALLEN do that." So I have to hold a book just like his teacher does! That is some little thing Erik learned at the school so far!:)-
