Ivy Hippo和Justin Piggy度过了他们有生一来第一个单独相处的周末。有生以来第一个，就他们俩。
周六，windy, Justin Piggy先醒了，对Ivy Hippo说，mommy, 天亮了，我不睡了。Ivy Hippo, 迷迷糊糊，说你去尿尿吧。Justin Piggy说你和我一起去吧。Ivy Hippo给Justin Piggy脱睡裤，脱pull up.
Justin Piggy吃酸奶，Ivy Hippo吃牛奶泡圈圈，锅里呼鲁鲁冒着泡的是玉米粥。
Justin Piggy看curious george, Ivy Hippo喂他玉米粥。
Justin Piggy自己换裤子，Ivy Hippo给他穿上衣。
Ivy Hippo给Justin Piggy穿袜子，Justin Piggy自己穿鞋。然后他们去playground了。早上9点40分，playground上小学男生们足球比赛。Justin Piggy, 在边上骑scooter. 一个滑梯可以玩，另一个不可以，因为湿，周五晚上下雨了。
风好大，于是Ivy Hippo和Justin Piggy离开了playground, 去书店。Justin Piggy玩串珠，Ivy Hippo看故事书。
中午，Justin Piggy吃了三个饺子。 Justin Piggy拒绝自己吃，他要Ivy Hippo喂他。Ivy Hippo吃了另外7个饺子。Ivy Hippo计划每周吃10个姥姥给包的饺子。
睡午觉，Justin Piggy在Ivy Hippo的床上辗转反侧，最后决定回自己的屋子自己的床上睡，那里凉快。Justin Piggy睡着了，Ivy Hippo煮牛肉。Justin Piggy睡了两个小时，醒了，自己拎着衣服走出来。Justin Piggy吃果泥，喝牛奶。然后和Ivy Hippo又出去玩。风还是很大，他们很快回来了。Justin Piggy看shrek.
Justin Piggy不喜欢吃Ivy Hippo做的西红柿牛肉。恩，因为凉了。Ivy hippo说那简单呀，再热热。周日中午Justin Piggy很喜欢吃西红柿牛肉面。
晚上八点半Justin Piggy声称自己困了，于是上床睡觉。在之后的两个半小时里喝掉一杯喝奶，吃掉半个面包，出去游走四次。
周日早晨，Justin Piggy说, mommy我睡醒了。 Ivy Hippo说你去尿尿吧。一会儿，Justin Piggy回来塞给仍在赖床的Ivy Hippo两样东西，一个软软的，是Justin Piggy的睡裤，另一个热乎乎沉甸甸的是Justin Piggy的pull-up. mommy我尿完了，我们去客厅吧。
Ivy Hippo于是起床，先去bathroom把Justin Piggy的大pull-up扔到垃圾桶。
他们去home depot买了个light switch, 去costco买了食物，whole foods买了Justin Piggy爱吃的面包。Justin Piggy在Ivy hippo的床上午睡的，Justin Piggy睡醒了自己起来找Ivy Hippo. Justin Piggy下午不打算出去玩，他决定在家里玩火车。
晚上睡觉前，Ivy Hippo问，你饿吗，Justin Piggy说不饿。于是上床。躺在床上，Justin Piggy说mommy, 我饿。。。
吃了面包回来， Ivy Hippo问，你要pee吗？Justin Piggy说不要。于是上床。躺在床上，Justin Piggy说mommy, 我要pee。。。
周一早晨，Justin Piggy醒了，说妈妈，我去尿尿。Ivy Hippo跟了去，发现Justin Piggy自己脱了睡裤和pull up, 并且把pull up扔到垃圾桶。

The Good Enough Baby (ZT)
As new parents, we hold ourselves to impossibly high standards. We settle for second or third best when we buy a house or a car, and, when it comes to choosing a spouse, ninth best will often do. And yet, for some reason, we throw this time-tested principle out the window when we have a baby. We try to be “perfect” parents and raise the “perfect” baby, even if that means taking care of the baby “all the time.”
In reality, trying to raise a perfect baby is futile, because, behavior-wise, babies are pretty craptastic. Howling, vomiting, projectile-shitting—kind of hard to shoot for perfection when you’re doing appalling things like these around the clock. Despite all the media hype about babies, they’re loud, dumb, and grimy to the touch, just one rung on the evolutionary ladder above a common marmoset. I’m speaking from my experience not only as a parent but as a pediatrician.
But, while raising a perfect baby is impossible, raising a “good enough baby” is surprisingly easy. That’s the message of my new book, “The Good Enough Baby: Settling for Little Miss Adequate.” Let’s begin with what I call the Good Enough Baby Checklist:
1: Is My Baby Clean Enough?
Conventional wisdom says that a baby should be clean enough to eat off of. That’s absurd, unless you actually intend to eat off of your baby, which I don’t recommend. Babies tend to writhe spasmodically and shoot geysers of half-digested food from their mouths, making them a less than ideal dining surface.
There are many misconceptions about babies and baths. The old saying “Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater” implies that the baby is something amazing that you’d want to keep, while the bathwater is something disgusting that you’re right to throw out. Well, who made the bathwater disgusting? That’s right, the baby. The bathwater was probably drinkable before the baby, caked with the remains of meals (and worse), polluted it. A better, less contradictory saying would be “Don’t give your baby a bath.”
It’s easy to keep a baby “clean enough” without actually bathing her. Let’s say you’ve been invited to a house party. En route, quickly run the baby through a lawn sprinkler, then let her dry in the sun. When you get to the party, if people recoil as if they’ve just walked past a chicken-processing plant, run her through a sprinkler again. Fortunately, keeping your baby clean enough is not very time-consuming, because, as a new parent, you will find yourself invited to very few parties.
2: Is My Baby Well Fed Enough?
There’s an old wives’ tale that says babies cry when they’re hungry. Some parenting books buy this whopper, hook, line, and sinker, suggesting that a baby be fed “on demand.” This is hardly a good way to prepare a baby for the real world, where the only things available “on demand” are cable movies, usually dumb-ass shit like “Did You Hear About the Morgans?” There are plenty of other reasons that a baby cries besides hunger. She might be sad about something that happened to her recently, such as that nasty business with the sprinkler. Even more likely, she is trying to tell you something, for example, that she is tired of seeing you so much. This might be your cue to have dinner out or catch a basketball game.

3: Is My Baby Stimulated Enough?
During the past few decades, early-development “experts” have stressed the importance of so-called “enrichment activities”: reading to babies, singing to them, even talking to them. We are now finding that these activities, in addition to being excruciating for the parent, may actually be harmful to the baby, lengthening her attention span to the point where she will be unable to enjoy most popular entertainment. Fortunately, there’s a simple way to reverse this damage, using a system I call FIT (Facebook, iPhone, TV). By exposing your baby to these three things for as many hours as possible, you’ll insure that she’ll be well equipped for a lifetime of pointless multitasking. Quick test: Put your hands in front of your eyes and play peekaboo with your baby. If she ignores you and picks up your phone, reward her with her favorite app.
And that’s the Good Enough Baby Checklist. Actually, there are seven more items on the list, but let’s not be slave drivers about this.
One final caveat. Some parents may be under the impression that I wrote “The Good Enough Baby” in order to provide a shortcut for people who don’t take the job of parenting seriously. Nothing could be further from my intention. As a pediatrician, I always remind parents: When you have a baby, you are bringing a human being into this world, and you are responsible for that human being for the next five or six years. ♦

hug
最近每天早晨都发生这样的事，一进教室，就有两个小姑娘冲向Piggy, 说hug。Piggy同学就很不耐烦的每个人给个hug. 两个小姑娘都比Piggy矮半头，一个是一头卷毛的黑姑娘，另一个是个小blonde.
上周末在park, 一个五岁的中国小女孩和piggy玩得欢。这是我看到的第一个在淘气上可以和P同学媲美的女孩。P同学很容易溜号，玩着玩着就开小差去做别的了，小姑娘就不断跑来，一会儿冲P同学鬼脸，一会儿向他扔木屑。未几，来了个还不会说话的金发小美女，巴巴的跟着P同学到处走，最后干脆握起了P同学的手。P同学开始不从，这小子很爱自由，有人在后边拖着手这种事他自然不很喜欢。不过小妹妹坚持，P同学也就那样了。于是，走在那里都牵着妹妹手。就这样越走越远了。那相5岁的小姐姐不高兴了，跑去找妈妈诉苦。
哈，我这才明白，原来做鬼脸扔木削，使尽浑身解数都不如就这么静悄悄的坚持不懈的牵着男生的手管用，牵着牵着就习惯了, 男生就这么给牵走了。

I love Pluto
Well, never mind. Pluto is still the one I like. It has comfortable upright seat. It has creative and adorable looking. It has big big space compared its own body size.
And I am not alone. http://www.autosavant.com/2010/07/16/pt-cruiser-rip/

Miss you so
话说Piggy同学最长久的小女朋友西西有一个月没去幼儿园啦。某天，piggy在院子里看到了西西。Piggy大喜，招牌式笑容不出意外的露了出来。Piggy笑嘻嘻的飞奔过去，给了西西一个大熊抱和一个大kiss, 然后很认真很深情的对西西说，这么久没见了，我都想你啦。

学习
猪少最近很努力，每天都学习数学，尽管所有的“1”都写不直。猪少显然喜欢“2”多一些，一边念叨2像小鸭嘎嘎嘎，一边画2。猪少用毛笔的方式握笔。
他让姥姥教写4，姥姥手把手的教他写了四个，问他，自己能写吗，猪少回答，不能。不能写4的猪少又让姥姥教写5，姥姥还是手把手教他写了四个，问他，自己能写吗，猪少回答，不能。然后开始磨姥姥教写6。
猪妈问，Piggy, 1加1等于几？
猪少：21。
猪妈问，1＋2呢？
猪少：3。
猪妈大喜，那2＋3呢？
猪少：8。
猪少放学回来，姥姥在他衣兜里发现了一块钱。猪少说是彭彭给他的。姥姥问彭彭为什么给他钱。猪少说因为他给她东西吃。姥姥问猪少给了彭彭什么。猪少说饼干和瓜子。所以猪少用一块饼干和几粒瓜子换了一块钱。
某天猪少翻开一本书给猪妈讲故事，“从前有一只大鸭鸭..."。姥姥在旁边翻译，他说的大鸭鸭就是孔雀。

心得
最近读书。
在美国没有人会觉着自己是老外，因为每个人都是老外。
在一个地方如果你不介意别人是怎么看你的，那么你大概就不觉着自己是foreign. 我在波士顿就从来没在乎过别人怎么看我，因为我觉着周围都是大白菜。反而小学中学大学我却经常不自在，看来那时侯我深以为自己foreign。
Framingham MA is a gold mine for medical research. 那里连续三代居民参加了帮助心脏病研究的身体检查。researcher们还用framingham居民进行关于肥胖，吸烟，和幸福感的研究。哈，现在这些数据还帮助researcher们得出了结论，loneliness is contagious.
