Made in Taiwan

This is what I got from him when I told him to smile. Thanks.

I showed him dessert a little too early. He kept asking, "Mama, am I done yet?" He ate with his eye on the prize. 

We each ate a mini cheesecake I made for Monday's potluck. He wanted to share with me, how sweet.

When I went to pick up NJ from school, the teacher let him pick out a prize from their treasure chest. She said that he volunteered to clean up toys when no one wanted to. She said he's very helpful and sweet. That made us so proud. 

While he was at school, I had quite an eventful and exhausting day. It started at 4:00am and I didn't get home until 4:00pm. A good old ucla visit lasted much longer than usual. I dropped by some doctor's offices, went back to the ICU and the floor for liver patients. I was surprised that some nurses remembered me this time, last time I didn't get much reaction. It was a pleasant surprise to also see some of my doctors I'd see everyday I was there. I love going back regardless of who knows me or remembers me if anyone at all. I dropped off some Christmas cards for them. After that I headed over to grab lunch with my cousin, it was so enjoyable to spend some time together. Then I dropped by my brother's work and we walked to Starbucks and talked. I actually turned down free coffee because of my horrible heartburn today. I love coffee, but couldn't do it! By then I hit traffic and it took me an hour and half to get home. Oh well, it was worth it, it was a good day full of visits.
