Christmas month 2021 滿月圓 烏來

Felix ranked 1st in his class of 45 students again and got top scores on English and biology exams! My parents came stay with us to see Regis's performance and attend a salon lecture on the first weekend of Dec.

I want Felix to focus on schoolwork after New Taipei City Music Competitions and enjoy himself, so he must give up one kind of instrument lessons. We talked and decided to suspend the piano lessons. After 3 month break from cello lessons, he looked forward to starting again in the middle of this month! He comes back home at about 6:50 or 9:30 PM. I'm glad he practices the cello for even only 10 minutes each time as much as possible as soon as he told the teacher he'd take lessons again.

In the meantime, I found a piano teacher for Regis again after teaching him myself for almost 4 years. He couldn't wait to practice the new piece before the first lesson! Also, a new violin book arrived on Dec.9. I look forward to watching him learn new pieces!

Felix was so happy when seeing the warm dessert after coming home. Regis's baby tooth fell out while eating glutinous rice balls.

birthday month 2021

Saturday, Oct.30 was Felix's school sports day. Monday, Nov.1 was a "make up weekend day". He didn't go to school. I was happy he accompanied me to work in the morning and gave his former homeroom teachers coffee to express his thanks. After lunch at a Korean restaurant, I went back to work and he went home to study and practice the piano in the afternoon.

Felix is almost a full on teenager, moody and gets annoyed easily about what I say or ask him to do. He doesn't like me to hold his hand when going out. He isn't as cute as he was.😭 I know he’s just a typical teenager. He's kind and academic and ultimately a good kid. I'm happy he likes to talk with me and snuggle close to me, and studies harder and tries to care about me more often since he started junior high.

Regis participated in Taiwan Science Festival with school science research club at National Taiwan Science Education Center the whole weekend of the middle November. He introduced the visitors to the constellations. I'm proud of him. Felix and I went see him on the Sunday afternoon after lunch at Café Grazie.

Both of my sons' exam results are the best birthday gifts! Regis ranked 2nd and got top scores on math, English and social studies exams in his class. Felix ranked 1st in his class of 45 students and got top score on English exam! In the meantime they've been preparing for music competitions.
