Posting from daddy....Things I Learned from My Daughter (Part 1)

Belle will be 4 year old in two months. One thing that I normally do at night is putting her to sleep. Last night, as usual, I read one of her new books On the Night You Were Born and once we're done we ready to say a prayer.

I asked her what she wanted to prayed about. She said that she didn't want to have another dream of the evil queen she watched in Sleeping Beauty movie that just came out few weeks ago. But the problem is that she likes watching it. She watches it every night and twice a day on weekends. She likes the part where the princess Aurora was dragged out of her room by a ghosty green smoke, climbed out her castle and finally touched the spindle spelled by the evil queen.

I told her that if she doesn't want to have another dream about the queen, she should stop watching it. Those scenes sticked to her mind and played over and over again. But she insisted to watch it again despite the fact that I just bought her the Tinker Bell movie (maybe I should stop feeding her fantacies...o)

Isn't that obvious that we often pray to God about something yet we don't play our part of accomplishing what we pray about? We treat prayer as a magical act from God to do what we should be doing at the first place.

Sleeping Beauty Movie

We have been watching this movie every day now. Belle said she likes this movie so much although almost every night she would have a nightmare about Malificent.

Bird House

We got a bird house for Belle yesterday. Belle painted the whole house by herself. Here are some pictures of Belle's colorful bird house.

Belle's First Uniform

Belle will be attending a preschool this month. She will be attending Red Hill Lutheran School. These are some of the pictures of her first uniform:

Children's Museum

This Saturday, we took Belle to La Habra Children's Museum in La Habra. It was our first visit. Enjoy the pictures while we were there.

Fourth of July Weekend

Belle did not really know what 4th of July was but she knew that mommy and daddy did not have to go to work that day. We spent time together on Newport Beach in the morning then watched the fireworks at the high school near our home at night.

The next day, we went to Irvine Regional Park. We went for a train ride, then the boat paddle. Belle really enjoyed the train ride, especially considering she likes train so much. She also enjoyed the boat paddle.

On Saturday night, we went for dinner with my uncle's family who came from Indonesia a week ago. Belle got lots of goodies, not to mention the attention that she got from my aunt. Just check these pictures.

The next day, Belle went to church for a Family Funday Sunday. They had a bouncing house for the kids although Belle did not really like it but she got in anyway.
