He was more interested in the light rail than the game. He also remembered the mickey mouse.

I made up a nursery rhythm for Jonathan when he was a baby. It goes like this:

好尊尊，乖尊尊，妈妈的好尊尊； 好尊尊，乖尊尊，爸爸的好尊尊。
尊尊好，尊尊乖，尊尊是妈妈的好宝宝； 尊尊好，尊尊乖，尊尊是爸爸的小老总。

Then it repeats itself with the following variation: 
尊尊好，尊尊乖，尊尊是外公的小 Q 蛋
尊尊好，尊尊乖，尊尊是外婆的 小心肝
尊尊好，尊尊乖，尊尊是Sophie 的 小肉丸.

A couple of days ago, I sang this to him again. He changed the lyrics to:
尊尊是外公的宝贝孙，尊尊是外婆的葡萄干。

宝贝孙 is how my dad calls Jonathan. My mom was the first to introduce 葡萄干 to him to eat. Now every time he talks on the phone or Skype with my parents, he tells them if we have 葡萄干 or if we run out of 葡萄干.

This past week has been a crazy week in that I have to be at work early or stay late almost every day. Monday was my late day. Tuesday morning I went to work at 7:30 AM and didn't get to see Jonathan in the morning. Then Tuesday night we had a provider meeting and I didn't get home until 9 PM. By then he was almost asleep. He sensed my return and woke up. He asked me to sleep beside him. I don't normally do this but felt quite guilty at that moment. So I laid down beside him. He wasn't sure how long I was staying and kept looking at me. I asked him to close his eyes to sleep. He finally asked:"你陪我？" I said, "yes. 妈妈陪你。" He put his arm around my neck and his face against my face and thanked me profusely with the sweetest smile:"Thank you thank you thank you Mama." It melt my heart. I knew I would stay until he fell asleep.
