Good Luck with 'The doll's house'!(M)

Emily and Charlotte striped off the curtains of their own silly box doll house. "It's just silly!" Emily exclaimed, trying to hide the feelings of being terribly sad that the dolly box was useless. She decided to see what Charlotte could think of. Charlotte just sat there working on with the dolls house, including wiping away the dust and gluing the shells back on the picture frames. "Emily, just get on with washing the carpets, possibly getting some cotton and feathers for the pillows and beds and if you've finished, do please sew up extra bits of felt on to the white flannels and oh if you could, get some blue ones as well and sew feathers on one for Birdie." Charlotte was much younger than Emily and was first to think of clever things and useful things that day which surprised Emily terribly(Emily's normally the person to think of things first!). They cleaned all the things from the grand dolls house and put in extra things from the silly practice one. That evening, they were finished with the dolls house and it looked better than usual. Tottie was given back from the festival to everyone's delight and welcomed in happily. "Hi Charlotte. Hi Emily, how are you? At the festival, there was a lady called Miss Corrington and she wore a denim dress with white dots on it, a white top and a pair of clean happy face earings, she looked very pretty. She took great care of me and was an owner of an alive doll as well like you!" whispered Tottie. They gasped in delight at the good news and brought her upstairs to see their work. Tottie was testing to see if they had it all right. "So, 2 bedrooms with a pink carpet for one and a blue carpet for the other. It's got two picture frames in each bedroom with shells on and wonderful pictures of the people that lived 100 years ago along with me like Marchpane and probably Tania, Frimic, Toopany, Lilli Crini, Peggy Torm and Powlina and Syria. Cream white carpets layered between the two bedrooms?"Tottie asked. "Look yourself." Emily said, tipping a bottle of water over Frimic, the doll that they were going to make alive as well as Frimic was made of foam. Watch out for the next series!

"Florence Tanya." "Yes Miss Dilys." "And finally, last but not least, Delphie Durrand and Rosa Maitland." "Good afternoon Miss Dilys!" the girls chorused. Rosa 's mum was alone and Delphie dad was alone so the two married with them both at the time when Delphie and Rosa were the same age. Rosa 's middle name was called Maitland so because they were in Year 3, Rosa had to use her middle name in the register. "Rosa, register." Miss Dilys said and walked out to her learning teacher meeting. She let Mrs Buck take over. "Tomorrow we are going on a trip to the beach as a treat for being so good this term!" Mrs Buck exclaimed with a big hint of excitement in her voice. None of them could exactly concentrate on their work and wrote beach stories when it was big write time. That evening, Delphie and Rosa ran home to their mum, Mrs Durrand and asked for their usual snack and told her all about it. "Dad! we are going to the beach tomorrow and today in art," Rosa began and Delphie held up their beach design. "We did a beach creation!" Delphie finished. The day came to go to the beach. They were helping the class build a great big sand castle and they went for fun and happy paddle before deciding to Sunbathe. Meanwhile, Delphie had got up sneakily and bought an ice cream for everyone including herself and the teachers. The teachers got the biggest ones and most suprisingly the ice cream man gave it to her for free! All thanks to Delphie!

Nutty, the new Debo's pet as a birthday present(2)(M)

Debo woke up and grabbed her clip, she clipped back her hair and sat up. Meanwhile, Izzy sat on her stool embroidered with Parrots. She loved Parrots and you would think it's a bit funny wouldn't you? That's why she wasn't so keen on having friends around but often she would stack the stool neatly to a side and face it. She thought, if they laughed, they laughed, if they liked it, best. She ran to the bathroom and took a quick shower that made her smell like Daffodils. Then, she dried herself and put on a gown that she always wore to get back to her comfy bedroom. Quickly, she opened her cupboard and chose a white summer dress(not as in school uniform)with blue flowers on the rim of her dress. She opened her drawer and and flicked out a light blue(to match the colors on her flowers on her dress)clip to clip back her fringe. She put a(a lot) pink vest with white flowers on, a t-shirt made from jean material with red flowers on the middle and blue and white checks for the rim of her collars, a nice, soft and comfortable blue jeans, a pair of black boots(sensible ones for animal hunting/watching/spotting with white spots on and a red handbag with black spots on it(a lot). She got ready, grabbed some toast, gathered up her things and followed her mum to the car. "Right, Izzy. When are you coming home?" "At 12:00." "Have fun, dear," Izzy's mum called out from in the car( They'd already got to Debo's house). "And I can't pick you up at 12. I'll pick you at 1." and the Toyota car drove away to Smyth's, they were going there, because Milly, Izzy's little sister wanted a new toy and after all, it was her birthday next week. Debo rushed to the door before Izzy could even knock. Straight away, they changed into their animal spotting clothes. Izzy her check (jeans count even if they are not checked) clothes and Debo, a pink top with white spots and a purple ribbon tied up just below her chest, blue jeans, pink trainers and a squirrel shaped bag. Debo took a her little blue cardigan just in case for a bit of a breeze. They filled in their check list, "Camera." "Yes." Debo answered, checking both their bags. "Notebook." "Yes." "Pen and Pencil and Rubber(Pencil one and Pen one)." "Yes." "Bread and Nuts and Cheese and Sandwiches." "Yes again." "Right, we're ready." Izzy finally answered. They grinned, opened the door and set off along the path. By the bushes, they sat down and had their quick picnic. They lay down and stared at the sky. "Hey, I just saw a pigeon and a robin!" Debo exclaimed grinning. They flipped to the back of their notebook and wrote what they were looking at that day: Birds. That afternoon, they were on their way back to Debo's house when Izzy heard a scuttle and saw a bushy brown tail. "Squirrel," she whispered. "Debo, you go on. I think we left our nuts behind!" Izzy called out, she really did think they did but the other half was an excuse. "Alright." Debo replied, she did know it was half an excuse and it was half a surprise for her. Meanwhile, Izzy brushed open the bushes and peered in... it was a squirrel! Izzy ran back to the green bushes where they sat(under a small apple tree as well)and picked up their box of nuts. She attracted the squirrel over and carried him back to Debo's house. "Debo! Your birthday present." She called out. They begged for Debo to be able to have the squirrel and even when the puppy saw Debo, he didn't let her out of his sight. In the end, Debo's mum agreed because she did think the squirrel was cute and knew Debo liked squirrels and knew how to take care of them. They named the squirrel Nutty.

我們才剛剛度過了一個緊張,然後又放鬆下來的星期六,心裡上還有點忐忑呢!半夜裡,竟然又接到伯母的電話。 伯母說,她因為看不懂醫生的字,又拿著病歷去問醫生,到底是怎麼樣。沒想到,醫生竟然說,奶奶的肋骨裡頭疑似有腫瘤,但是他們的醫院不夠大,所以,如果要做更進一步的檢查,只能轉院到長沙的腫瘤醫院去檢查。不過,醫生也說,就算是檢查出來了,奶奶現在的身體,恐怕也是承受不了開刀治療,所以,一切就看家屬自己的決定了。 伯母在那裡不停地哭,要爸比回去,又說還沒有告訴爺爺,不知道要不要說。唉∼∼爸比媽咪被伯母哭得很緊張,但是,她說得不清不楚,爸比回去是可以的,可是,爺爺是瞞不住的,何況,爸比從要回去變不回去,再回去,要怎麼讓奶奶不起疑心呢?當然,最重要的還是,到底奶奶的情形是如何?爸比問的問題,伯母都答不上,我們怎麼繼續想接下來怎麼辦呢? 爸比決定,先跟爺爺聯絡上,既然爺爺是不能瞞的,就要爺爺先和醫生談談,了解一下情況。經過幾次溝通,爺爺說,醫生說是確定的,就是有腫瘤,只是不知道是惡性良性,爺爺也難過得不得了,要爸比趕快回家。 想到家裡必然是亂成一團,爸比毫不猶豫地就決定回家,一方面真正地了解詳情(每次問爺爺伯母,總是答得不清不楚,什麽檢查,為什麽做,為什麽不做,為什麽之前怎麼說,怎麼又變成這樣說),再來,爺爺大概也有點慌亂,對於下一步要怎麼做,也不知道怎麼才最好,爸比在,也能有個人商量,而且,如果轉院什麼的,也有人可以在醫院照顧奶奶。更重要的是,奶奶生病了,病得這麼重,爸比是她的小兒子,是一定要回去看看奶奶的啊! 於是,爸比開始準備,訂機票,請假,然後燒圓圓貝貝的照片光碟,.....一直忙到早上,最後,和剛起床的圓咪宣布爸比還是要走的事。小小的貝貝不了解,還是像平常一樣不停地叫著“爸爸,爸爸”,圓咪則紅了眼眶,又怕奶奶有事,又捨不得爸比。 但是,爸比是為人子女的,他也是有他的責任,奶奶生病,爸比心裡也很難過,尤其是聽到這樣急轉直下的消息,怎麼能不回去照顧奶奶呢?是不是啊?女兒們啊,將來要是爸比媽咪生病了,你們也是會想回來看爸比媽咪的,對不對?何況,爸比只是回去兩個禮拜,只要奶奶的事情都安頓好了,一切情形穩定了,爸比就會回來了啊! 所以,我們要在家裡乖乖的,好好的,不要讓爸比擔心,讓爸比好好照顧奶奶,等爸比回來,暑假我們就全家一起回去看奶奶,好不好啊?

Their friendship. At Enchantia(4)(M)

Their ballet slipper necklaces raced and beat on they're chest's. Delphie and Rosa gasped in delight(Rosa was still scared because they need to jump out the window to appear back at Enchantia) as Delphie lead way and climbed on the window. Delphie absolutely leapt out the window without a moments hesitation. Rosa hesitated and glanced back. The door started to budge "Delphie, Rosa, my darlings. Teatime!" Rosa found herself desperate to run back to their mum, Mrs Durrand for tea and leave Enchantia to Delphie, which meant Delphie was the only First Fairy to dance and fix the problem in 5 minutes and probably get invited to the party! Delphie didn't know Rosa didn't jump along with her. "That's weird, My costume is changing into a pink leotard and tutu, like Swan Lake's Odette, and I can only hear my dance dust working." Delphie wandered "I guess she's thinking about things and maybe it won't work if you don't concentrate. Delphie's newly cut hair that hung about at where her neck meets the slope bit by her shoulder grew longer to her elbow. "Delphie!" Nutmeg and Sugar chorused "Where's Rosa?" asked Nutmeg. Delphie thought for a bit "Oh yes. She was quiet on the way so she is probably thinking abo..." Delphie now knew Rosa had chosen to stay back. It was news for all of them and she missed it! After the meeting Delphie remembered the news and flew back home, her hair went back to newly cut and landed in a flump on her bed. She climbed down the ladder and saw Rosa sitting on the window sill shocked at the way Delphie flew in. "How was it?" asked Rosa now knowing the 'Be back in a second' verse they used to say under her breath. It felt like Delphie had been there the whole time. Delphie told her the news and Rosa never decided to miss out Enchantia again.

虛驚一場

昨天下午,大伯母打電話要爸比打電話回家,說奶奶的情形不太好,已經住院三天了。大伯母說得不清不楚,哭哭啼啼的,讓我們都很擔心,只好等晚上爺爺回來才能再說。 據爺爺說,好像就還是原來那些毛病,只是奶奶最近感冒了,然後可能肺部有些感染,另外吃不下飯,說肚子痛。結果遇到一個新來的醫生,做了一大堆檢查,說可能是腸堵塞什麼的,但是後來都排除了,聽爺爺說起來就好像沒有什麼太大的問題,都是一些小小毛病,只是奶奶的膽囊炎跟帕金森長期造成的疼痛,還是疼得厲害,止痛藥也不怎麼管用。但是,詳細的情形還是要明天醫生會診之後才能知道。 爸比媽咪擔心了一個晚上,好不容易挨到時間差不多,應該是可以知道結果了,趕忙打電話回家。怎麽知道,竟然變成了好像就是奶奶的樣樣症狀就都不致命,可是呢,年紀大了身體虛,醫生也是沒辦法,就只能盡力而已。爺爺的意思,要爸比立刻回家,做好最壞的打算。 聽到爺爺這樣說,爸比媽咪簡直心都涼了,怎麽突然就變成這樣呢?爸比趕快就聯絡公司,準備訂機票等回家事宜。一邊也不停地打電話問爺爺最新的情形。結果,就在爸比定好機票通知家裡的時候,爺爺竟然說,奶奶已經回家了,而爸比和奶奶講話的狀況也很穩定,不像是先前想像的那麼嚴重,奶奶也說了,不用回來,就按照我們原來的計劃暑假回來就可以了。 媽咪再打電話問爺爺的時候,爺爺也覺得好像奶奶這次的藥物有控制住疼痛,所以大概不用回來了。媽咪聽爺爺的聲音也很穩定,不像是先前那樣,況且是奶奶自己要爸比不用回來,奶奶應該是很清楚自己的身體的,何況也回家了。我們相信,這次的住院,檢查,應該就是因為奶奶感冒引起的一連串的效應,並沒有什麼新的或是更惡化的情況。 所以,爸比就聽從奶奶的話,先取消了機票。我們也終於鬆了一口氣。只是,這樣折騰兩天,爸比媽咪都累壞了,不是身體的累,而是那種心情一直緊張擔心,吃不下睡不著的,一下子聽到奶奶沒事的消息,我們的心情,也跟窗外的天氣一樣,終於露出了太陽。媽咪可以和圓咪好好的去上音樂課,爸比也可以陪貝貝出去走走了∼∼ 啊∼∼只是,經過這麼虛驚一場,我們也開始注意到爺爺家裡現在有多麼緊張,大伯的腳受傷,爺爺年紀大了,奶奶又病,爸比還遠在英國,要是真的有什麼狀況,真的連個拿主意的人都沒有。神啊,我們只能不停禱告,袮一定要保守奶奶的身體,我們不敢求她恢復健康,但是,請求你減輕她的疼痛,也求你堅強奶奶的意志,不要再一直陷入憂鬱之中。也請你一定要給奶奶多一點力氣,讓我們暑假回去的時候,奶奶還可以看看貝貝,陪貝貝玩一下。也要保守爺爺,讓他身體健康,唉∼∼是大家都要健康,大家都不要生病啦!

雪豹報告

昨天,圓咪的science club讓小朋友上網找一種瀕臨絕種的動物,然後自己查那種動物的一些資料,做出一張小小(A4)的海報,圓咪說,大家都選了什麼獅子老虎之類的,只有她選了雪豹,因為她記得以前好像看過,然後就決定查出來看看。 一個小時的club時間,圓咪只能印出圖,然後寫上兩條特性就要收拾書包回家。路上,圓咪只按照慣例地告訴媽咪club做什麼,晚上,圓咪說還想看看雪豹的特性,我們就由著她去查資料。沒想到,圓咪就接著把查到的一些有趣的事情繼續寫上去,還加上小插圖,真的有點兒像張小海報呢! 今天放學的時候,圓咪告訴媽咪,她中文把小海報拿去給Mrs. Buck (club的指導老師),老師很高興地稱讚她做得很好,不但當場秀給其他老師看,還說要給圓咪一個“house point”,就帶著圓咪回教室跟Mrs. Mooney說,讓圓咪自己去加了一個house point。 呵呵,圓咪啊,媽咪真開心,不是因為你得到稱讚,而是你以前一向是不喜歡這些自然科學方面的東西,說真的,鼓勵你加入science club(其實還半用騙的,利用圓咪喜歡自己老師的心態),只是想鼓勵你,讓你知道自然科學其實也是有有趣的部分,不是那麼枯燥。看到你竟然自發性地去找資料,媽咪相信你是不再像以前那樣排斥了,這樣,就已經向前進了很大一步,因為你以前的態度,真的讓媽咪很擔心你以後在這些相關科目上的學習呢! 圓咪啊,媽咪並不想你將來要做什麼家什麼家的,不過,不希望你帶著排斥的情緒來學某些科目,那樣,對於無法避免的基礎科目,只是增加你學校生活的痛苦而已,希望你以後,不管是什麼科目,不管有沒有好成績,都要像這次一樣,開開心心地完成,好不好啊?

還記得,我們來英國之後的第一年,圓咪去參加同學的生日派對,爸比去接她,結果在停車場,竟然把車給撞了。 這台車,可是跟著我們飄洋過海,一路從美國來到英國,還載著我們全家大大小小的行李。但是,也因為是“進口車”,保險公司覺得要從美國進口零件到英國來修車,太不划算,決定直接就給我們一筆錢,然後就報廢了我們的車。 車子雖然老,但是,也因為老,有著我們太多太多的感情在裡面。從它的起源說起吧!應該還算是媽咪的嫁妝呢!雖然不是阿嬤直接買的,但是,是阿嬤在媽咪結婚的時候給媽咪的錢,為了當時肚子裡的孩子,爸比媽咪就決定買台大一點的車,想說安全一點,以後出去玩,也可以載多一點東西。就這樣,我們家的寶貝車就進入了我們家。 當然,寶貝車跟著我們東奔西跑,在美國這個沒有車就沒有腳的國家,圓咪有很多的“坐車故事”。從訓練做安全椅,到自己會扣和解開,到現在直接坐車。圓咪在車上學了好多兒歌,說了好多童言童語,當然,也睡了好多覺。連我們的狗狗Rocco都曾經參一腳,把我們的寶貝車吐得一塌糊塗過。 寶貝雖然年紀大了,但是我們真的一直保養得很好,根本就沒有任何壞的地方,除了爸比撞壞的保險槓。要不是修起來不划算,再開十年恐怕都不是問題。只是,寶貝沒那個機會,我們,也沒有機會了。 從知道保險公司的決定,我們就知道會有這麼一天,但是爸比早上告訴媽咪說,人家今天要來拖車的時候,媽咪心裡還是很難過,在車子前面看了又看,眼淚就一直往下掉,這車,對我們而言,哪裡只是車,就像我們家另一個孩子啊! 接圓咪回來的路上,媽咪先給圓咪打預防針,要圓咪千萬不要難過和哭之後,才告訴圓咪車子已經被拖走的事情。看得出圓咪強忍著難過,跟媽咪說要自己先去看一下就跑回家。媽咪慢慢地走到家門口的時候,圓咪告訴媽咪,她在我們停車的地方繞了幾圈,跟車子說了些話,它應該可以聽到吧! 唉∼∼媽咪的寶貝圓咪啊,媽咪知道,你心裡有多麼難過,只是答應了媽咪不哭,所以硬是忍了下來,即使看到媽咪要寫這篇日記的時候,還是紅了眼眶就跑走了。圓咪啊,你,也有很多放不下的回憶,都在車子上吧?! 唉∼∼看來,我們今天晚上,應該都會帶著這點思念和憂傷入眠吧?!

The magical toothbrushes(2)(M)

May picked up the flower toothbrush and held it in her hand for ten seconds... "Hey look! It's May, a bluebell fairy, the toothbrush magical girl I was telling you about!" A familiar voice called out. May jumped and landed in a mud puddle. She tipped her bag and a few petals fell out, she then sprinkled some on the grass and some bluebells started to grow, a bit shy. " Buttercup?" May called out, unsure. "Yes, it's me." "Do you remember me?" another gentle voice called out as Buttercup flew off to meet her friends. May sprang lightly on to a rose petal and sat down. She studied the fairy's face and then her colorful clothes. "Are you Princess..., uh, Mia?" May asked jumping up from the rose and curtsying. "I am Princess Aurelia!" the princess exclaimed. "Aurelia?" May asked. "Call me Princess, don't call me Princess Aurelia." the princess suggested. That afternoon, they found out Buttercup was missing! May flew around the marble palace, worried to death. Skye, the fairy that made sure the sky was windy, sunny and rainy at the proper time, was floating just by the palace window near the sky thinking. May flew out of the window to see the sky. She bumped into like 5 boys(flying ones like the normal fairies) that said lots of boys had disappeared... That night, May was sleeping unhappily. She crept out of the palace and flew to King Rat. There, she did a quick flower spell and freed everyone but all of their wings beating made a big noise and woke King Rat himself! May screamed and King Rat stood back. He saw their flowers in front of them and nibbled at them angrily, half muttering "Thought you could get away did you?" There was a blinding flash and the King and Queen managed to get them all safe with flower power.

最近,圓咪的情緒好像變得很敏感,很容易受傷的感覺。一點點小 事情就掉眼淚,然後如果爸比媽咪指正圓咪的什麽事情,又會開始 說自己什麼是也做不好,然後就說自己哪裡也做不對,什麽也講不 聽等等的。 唉∼∼媽咪不得不承認,圓咪應該是長大了,有這麼一點兒“為賦 新詞強說愁”的心情出來了吧?當然,絕大部分的時候,圓咪還是 一個活潑可愛的孩子,對每件事情充滿興趣,一點小事就可以開心 地笑的小女孩,只是,在深深的心底,有一個大女孩,也開始一點 一滴地在出現,慢慢地擴張,直到有一天,圓咪完完全全地變成了 一個大女孩為止。 看到圓咪這樣的變化,爸比說,該多注意一點對圓咪的態度,圓咪 已經不再是小孩了!是啊,媽咪當然知道,圓咪不再是小孩了,雖 然現在,圓咪還是天天黏著媽咪睡覺,纏著媽咪抱的寶貝,但是, 媽咪也知道,這樣的日子,正在一天一天的減了!就像前兩天媽咪 才剛剛跟圓咪提到的,雖然不願意,但是,不可避免的。 看著圓咪天真的笑臉,媽咪有著和圓咪那天在play group一樣的心 情,圓咪啊,你,還會這樣對媽咪笑多久,會這樣心裡只有媽咪多 久,還會這樣愛媽咪多久呢?媽咪雖然知道,你一定會飛向天空, 飛往你自己的世界,可是,媽咪還是免不了想自私地多留你一天, 就是一天也好的心情,你了解嗎? 還記得你剛出生的時候,媽咪就好愛好愛你,為了你,媽咪選擇了 當全職媽咪,因為媽咪知道,我們母女可以相處的時間,可能也就 不過十幾年,媽咪真的捨不得一天除了睡覺,就只能陪你兩個小時, 還好爸比也支持媽咪自己照顧你,所以,我們幸運地可以朝夕相處, 天天黏在一起,讓我們越來越愛彼此。 可是,你還是長大了,儘管媽咪天天禱告時間停住,你還是長大了。 媽咪努力地忘記你將展翅高飛的事情,但是,有越來越多的情形,在 我們每天的生活中提醒媽咪,媽咪已經快要不能再牽著圓咪的手,慢 慢地帶著你往前走了,圓咪已經開始可以自己走得很好,甚至,走得 很快,很快,媽咪就只能看著圓咪的背影,默默地祝福圓咪了。 想到這裡,媽咪的眼淚就忍不住往下流,雖然,媽咪也會開心你終於 變成了一個可愛的大女孩,但是,媽咪還是希望你永遠是媽咪的小寶 貝啊!圓咪,可不可以,不管你多大,在看到媽咪的時候,還是像現 在,和小時候一樣,給媽咪一個大大的擁抱,然後親著媽咪說“我愛 你!”呢? 因為,媽咪真的很愛你!

Delphie combed her long chestnut hair and tied it in a bun. She left some hair down to make it like Belle's(Beauty) hair. She put on her orange top with tiny blue flowers and a blue skirt with little orange flowers on. "I wonder what Rosa's doing now?" Delphie murmured. Days and months passed and it was finally the day before her birthday that Saturday. Rosa burst in the room. "Sorry I was a bit late up," She explained "it was because, we got a very nice idea for your birthday(Delphie's Birthday is tomorrow)!" Delphie shrugged smiling. "Hey, can you do my hair for me?" Rosa asked laughing "Sure!" Delphie exclaimed grinning right back at her. They laughed while Delphie fiddled about, made two buns and left some hair out in the middle of the buns. That day, they had been sent to sleep early! The next day, Mrs Durrand(their mum) took them to a chill out zone and they had quite a nap. Did I tell you on the 27th of February and the 24th of April they go and do something special? Delphie and Rosa know that Sundaes taste Sundaelicious ... but, they haven't been able to even eat they're 2nd one. The Chill Out Zone was really good and Delphie even got to take a nap on some really nice fluffy beds. It had a beautiful nighttime scene painted on the smooth walls. Sometimes, you could have nice fluffy earphones and listen to calm music quietly, you could take naps or have some marshmallows, maybe hot chocolate, cake, coffee and there's even a bubble zone in there. It's like dream for the nice, calm and peaceful people. After that, Delphie and Rosa and Mrs Durrand were all really ready to go and Delphie had a huge smile on her face. Next stop, dream cafe! At the Dream Cafe there were lots of nice things and finally a bit of a gentle wakie wakie. Last stop, Sunday Sundaes! There was a nice water chute in a bit of platsicy-glass cup shape, stands for Sundaes! Delphie and Rosa had most the fun there and the Chill and Relax place. The stop that they love... Baallet at Madame ZaZa's. You would Love Chill and Relax, but there is no such thing.

圓咪一直想去看看貝貝的play group,因為上次去childrens' center的play group被拒在門外(說圓咪年紀太大,不能進去),可是教會的這個,偏偏是星期一早上,還是學校有上課才有,圓咪就一直都只能聽媽咪說play group到底是長怎樣,有什麼玩具什麼的。 今天,應該是該上學的日子,可是圓咪的學校剛好是stuff INSET(老師研習會之類的),所以小朋友不用上學,媽咪問圓咪,那,想不想去貝貝的play group啊?圓咪當然是不會放過這個難得的機會,毫不猶豫地答應了。 到了play group,圓咪開心地說,果然和她想像的樣子差不多,不過就是玩具還太少了一點,學校裡的nursery玩具更多,而且還有老師講故事,比這裡更好。媽咪問圓咪,哇,那讀nursery不是很開心?圓咪回答“那當然,我們以前要是可以去nursery,都高興的不得了呢!!”哇,這麼棒啊,看來媽咪應該不用煩惱以後貝貝不想上學了! 一邊開心吃著點心的圓咪,一邊陪貝貝到處玩,貝貝有了姐姐,似乎膽子也大了不少,拉住姐姐四處探險,有些以前不敢玩的也玩了,也不怕其他小朋友了,姐妹倆開心得不得了。只是圓咪後來想跟貝貝一起玩小朋友的溜滑梯啊,腳行車啊,就有點尷尬了,因為這些畢竟是給幼兒的玩具,有些承重的限制,圓咪忽然了解到自己已然長大的現實,有點落落寡歡.... 唉∼∼圓咪啊,時間這東西,我們是誰也沒有辦法抗拒的,你不想長大,爸比媽咪也不想老,我們也捨不得你長大,可是,我們誰也不能阻擋這樣的變化,甚至,延緩一點點也不行。圓咪啊,媽咪知道,你現在只是覺得很多東西不能玩,不能做,可是以後你就會發現,原來,在時間的面前,我們會害怕,失去的,還有更多更多。 所以,就像媽咪一直告訴你的,面對這個殘酷的“時間”,我們唯一能做的,就是好好的利用我們所有的每一分每一秒,讓自己在回頭看到時候,不會後悔遺憾,不管是讀書是玩,我們就用力努力的去做每一件事,就像你現在看到貝貝的玩具,你都曾經開心地玩過啊,你也擁有著美妙的回憶,不是嗎?所以,即使你現在不能再玩了,你也不用遺憾,因為,你還有屬於你現在的年紀該做的事,該玩的東西,正需要你繼續不斷地創造更多更豐富更美好的回憶啊!! 所以啊,圓咪,收起你的眼淚,傷感呢,我們也體驗過了,現在,你就站起來,好好的繼續往前走,開心地接受長大的優點,然後開心地過日子,好不好?

Flump! Rosa fell on to her second bit of bed beneath! Delphie and Rosa had bunk beds with another little bit of bed underneath that pulled out. The pull out bits were fixed together so that if Delphie and Rosa fell and rolled again, they would bump into each other and wake up, also, know that they can't roll any further. The bottom bit of the bunk was a little work table. Rosa awoke excitedly because that day was... Christmas Eve! Rosa opened her mouth to exclaim 'Hooray' , before stopping and closing it again. She mustn't wake Delphie because they would have two busy days ahead! Rosa scratched her head, thinking about school today. Today was the 22nd(Rosa got it wrong, it's the 24th and you actually don't need to go to school today!) of the 12th, so it's the last day of school before there's a '2 whole month' holiday. She crept down the ladder that was on the side that faced the outside of the super cool double joined up bunk bed and sat at her end of the work table. She and Delphie sat next to each other on the work or bunk-under table. She started to brush her hair. Rosa had long, golden locks that were up to her waist, so, because they both loved ballet, it was difficult for her to tie her hair into a bun. So, what she does is she ties her locks into two buns, one at each side and for the rest of her hair she would normally leave it loose but in ballet she puts in a sausage between the buns. It makes you think she has lots of hair but it's just she doesn't like one whole bun. Delphie woke and decided to do the normals that you do in the morning and go down to help their mother get the Christmas decorations ready and do the Christmas shopping. She went into the little table and combed her chestnut hair that was until her elbow. Rosa was pretty surprised that Delphie had woke up already without a sound. Delphie opened her mouth about to speak when Rosa interrupted "I wonder what we'll do today?" " We're not going to school today..." "Oh, what date is it today then?" asked Rosa "It's Christmas Eve! You Prima Ballet!" laughed Delphie. They went to brush their teeth and changed. That day was busy that that night they fell asleep in a second! On Christmas day, Delphie woke up followed by Rosa in 5 seconds. Rosa chose a red dress with holly trims on her dress. Delphie chose a blue dress with a white snowflake on it that glittered and at the edges were white puffs. They ran down stairs to find four presents, two for Rosa and two for Delphie. Delphie's was a ballerina statue and a ballerina necklace. Rosa's was excactly the same. They ran up stairs to thank their mother but mum said Madame ZaZa sent the necklace. They found out that the necklace bought them to Enchantia! What a Christmas! MELODY

建構式數學?

圓咪學校裡是沒有課本帶回來的,所以,雖然每個禮拜有一次數學功課,也都是遊戲中練習,說實在的,媽咪也不是很清楚圓咪的學校到底怎麽教數學,為什麽圓咪聽媽咪講數學的時候,會一副跟它很不熟的表情。難道,加減乘除還能有不同的嗎? 今天晚上,學校裡有個information night,講解學校裡在各年級的數學教什麽,怎麽教。媽咪聽Khwas的媽咪說還不錯,所以也就決定去聽聽看,到底學校是怎麼教數學的。 Miss Yates和Mrs. Norman共同講解了從數量的認知到四則運算的教學方法。哇!!果然是和我們以前的教法大不同(聽她們說起來,好像那些父母也跟我們是一樣的計算方法,所以不是地區的問題),根據媽咪的推測,應該就是“大名鼎鼎”的“建構式數學”吧!!所有的加減乘除,都不是直接計算,而是把數字拆解成開來計算,然後再重新組合出答案。為了怕我們不懂,老師們還現場就要我們用學校的方法當場來做出答案(還認真地每一個檢查過程呢!),就是要確定每個家長知道小朋友遇到問題的時候,我們要怎麼回答。 其實,了解了之後,覺得新的方法也是有它們的道理在,難怪學校會採取新方法取代我們以前的“標準方法”。只是,既然說我們以前的方法是“標準方法”,而且六年級以後也會再引導他們做回“標準方法”,何必要繞這麼大圈啊?好吧,爸比說,可能是跟小朋友的智力發展有關係,年紀小的時候,就適合這樣的方法吧! 不過,知道這種方法之後,就不難理解為什麼圓咪常常聽不懂我們說的計算方法了!最重要的是,媽咪也知道怎麼來教圓咪數學了!!哈哈,圓咪啊,我們終於可以結束“雞同鴨講”的日子囉!!

The Sleepover (M)

HI! I'm Lucy! I'm so bored of Alex, my brother. Oh, hang on a sec THE WEIRD ENDING WITHOUT A FULL STOP Sorry 'bout that. Alex just wants me to play Dragon Lair or something. Now, let me carry on telling you about just what's going on. I'm going to Tilda's and mum says after I finish my brr, oops breakfast(that was a bit of milk dribbling down my chin, sorry to be rude) so I'm doing my best to eat quickly. BTW, I'm 13 and I've just got to go and tell mum I've finished anddd Lucy is so boring! ^ Sorry about the ending and the Lucy's boring thing. That was Alex's untidy handwriting 'cos I told my mum about finishing my cereal and wanted some Wagon Wheels(like Wot-sits) and OJ(a refreshing fizzy thing)then he wrote it! I wanted them is because I'm having a sleepover at Tilda's the day after tomorrow and I'm when I'm going to her house today, I'm going to tell Tilda about it and store them in the back of her wardrobe, because Tilda's dad, Mr Van Der Zwan, is so strict he won't let Tilda have it! EEEEEEEEEEKKKK! I know you probably need to take lot's of Deep Breaths, but that's because I'm both Over the moon and Skipping through the tulips! All right, I'd better go or my mum will con________________________ The line? My Mum confiscated my fluffy pen so I had to go without my pen and borrow their pen but anyway, I got to tell Tilda about the secret and she said we could store it in her wardrobe and hide under the mattress or bed to eat it! So, I told her why not wear th spare 2 white vest-dresses(they're summer sleep wear) that had blue butterflies on the waist(obviously not real!) and pink butterflies under the waist. I also had 2 blue eye-mask-for-sleep thing with two pink butterflies on it where your eyes go. 6:00 At home at dinner Mum gave back my fluffy pen! YAY! 1:00 p.m. the day of the sleepover I can't sleep, but I've got to pretend I am asleep otherwise when my brother is still awake(like tonight), he bursts in my room and if he knows I'm awake he asks for a Wagon Wheel and an OJ. GRRRRRR! The dinner at Tilda's when it's sleepover day Mr Van Der Zwan told me to finish dinner, I don't want to otherwise I won't have a tummy for the midnight feast but, I had to, so I did. Hay(sigh)! That night he let us stay up 'till 11'o clock! Normally he would only let us stay up until 8:00 (for a 13 year old Tilda?!) so we were very grateful and went to bed right away but we actually didn't go on our beds or touch them until 11:15 because we had a bit of a struggle with putting up my cool tent bed thing! Officially 11:30 In fact, I found out that I still had quite a tummy after the big dinner! Me and Tilda couldn't wait until 12:00 and we even ate dessert at nine(shockingly!)! So we rushed to the wardrobe, opened it and took out the Wagon Wheels and OJs(I added a bit of fizz to make it like Fanta)Choc Chips as well! I took the OJ and Wagon Wheels and Tilda took the Choc Chips and OJ. Suddenly we heard a knock on the door and we hid in our beds_________________________ Sorry! Tilda snatched the pen off(she got out her bed quietly!) me because it glowed and made her go ooh and then her dad would come in and find out about the midnight feast!I told Tilda that he left a note because I had the torch and could see. 11:56 We hid for 6 minutes! Then we looked at the note, it said 9+9=? so Tilda scribbled down 9+9= 1 8. Suddenly, I remembered it was a man shape and told Tilda he might come and see the nnnn...not..t.te! We had already put it by the door and we heard footsteps. Oh, don't worry it was just her uncle!

Snow flew quietly in the room of floating cloud seats and tables. She breathed in the familiar white rainbow. As a Fairy Bear entered the classroom, their color would appear on the glowing white rainbow. They would help other humans on their problems. Excitedly, Snow landed in her cloud seat. She wondered 'What would her task be today?'. Snow started to practice making some snow glitter dust/powder. "Snow," called out a calm voice, it was Miss Rainbow, the teacher of the Fairy Bears. There were some friends that the Fairy Bears owned. If they were in junior, then there would be some problems with their friends. "Today, you are determined to help your friend, Lucy, so you arrived earlier than everyone including me. So, the task is yours." finished Miss Rainbow, smiling at her. Meanwhile, that afternoon, just before they had watched 'Jessie and Jeff',they were having their dessert(after their lunch) at Odeon, the movie place's restaurant. Lucy Parker was sitting beside Mrs Parker eating cream cakes and sipping lemonade. "Mmm, things couldn't have worked out better than sitting in the restaurant eating cream cakes and drinking lemonade. Also, mum it's nearly time to watch Jessie and Jeff. Where is Dad?" asked Lucy through a mouthful of cream. When she got up to 'sitting' she ran out of Cream cakes on her plate so stuffed some cream buns in her mouth, from her mother's plate! "It is time, my dear. As you can sit in the movie's on your on your own, do that while I go and find dad." said Mrs Parker ordering a little bag and 3 cream cakes She wrapped it up and told Lucy that she could eat them while the movie, because the cream cakes that had disappeared(meaning Lucy had only ate 1 cream cake and 1 cream bun) had been wrapped by dad and eaten! Snow arrived at the movie center and was a bit lost. She wandered around and found Mr Parker! He explained he was lost as well! They sat down for a rest and ate the cream cakes he had wrapped up very hungrily. Soon they ran out of cream cakes so Snow decided to magic up some delicious tempting snow ice cream! "After all, it is hot." answered Snow, while licking some of the yummy white snow off her lips. Snow led Mr Parker away from the noisy and busy bit before conjuring some sparkles that formed an oval shape. "Mr Parker, please step through the sparkles." Snow whispered to him. Curiously and cautiously, he stepped through the oval and then Snow the Fairy Bear. They appeared in Fairy Bear land! There, Snow quickly looked in the seeing mirror to see the map of Odeon. Then, they quickly returned after Snow had changed into a snow white dress. As soon as they arrived, Lucy and her mum, Mrs Parker were sitting the bench they were sitting on when they ate the food! "Lucy!" Mr parker and Snow chorused "Dad and Snow!" Lucy exclaimed running to greet Snow before dad. Meanwhile, dad was hugging mum joyfully. After a while, Snow really wanted to stay, but she hadn't been invited to stay. She turned and was about to leave before "Don't go! Please stay!" the whole family chorused for she had helped them all. At the classroom, everyone was watching the emotional scene. Tears dropped on the cloud tables. "Miss Rainbow, we will miss Snow but, please let her stay with the Parker family!" the whole class cried. Tearfully, Miss Rainbow nodded! So Snow could stay! She could also go back and visit the class!

There, Cutie made friends with Harriet the Hamster. One day, Cutie was down on land where she happened to discover that Harriet was leaving! She rushed off to tell Skye and Birdie(as Skye and Birdie her best friends as well) the news so they would tell her other friends.It was all weird because as soon as her friends heard it, they didn't get sad! It wasn't that her only friend was Harriet, it was just that she was her best friend. Cherry the Bali Starling and Gina the Giraffe would take her best-est friend's space. "Wake up, Cutie!" Cherry tweeted "Wakie Wakie!" Gina added. "It's Danielle's birthday!" So, Cutie's heart filled with sadness that Harriet had left that morning without telling her, followed them. They rushed to the sea where Cherry fluttered over the sea and tweeted a sweet song to tell Danielle the Dolphin that they were here. Cutie got her chance to look around, she saw Skye, Gina, Cherry, Ellie the elephant, Birdie, Goldie the goldfish, Rainbow the Macaw and all sorts of different animals. Her sadness had been cured a bit to see all the animals gathered around, but it suddenly made her realise that Harriet was missing and like before, it went back to not being cured. A month later All her friends Skye, Cherry, Rainbow and Birdie had left along with Harriet! That night, Cutie the rabbit felt a tingle inside her. She knew she had to leave this world for good now, because she had been in animal land for very long. She didn't mind that much as she's lost most her friends anyway. When she arrived, she had a big surprise for the animals that had left had left to Dreamland! That was why they weren't sad! She sure was going to miss the animals, but at least she had some of her friends with her.
