自推娃 and his life plan






Albert is a 自推娃, as parents, we can't help laughing inside. But what's more amazing, he already started planning his life. So far, he has decided that he's going to marry a smart wife who can speak 4 languages, and 4 years younger than himself. As to the appearance, she's just OK, not pretty (the standard of OK is mommy, and mommy is not pretty : ( ). He will be married at 27 and have kids (better be twins) at 32. He will have 2 kids, both boys. He will have a 4 story house at Spicewood springs Rd. He will have pets, and he himself will take care of the dog and the cat, and his wife will take care of the fishes and the bird, as well as the kids. And Albert is going to cook and clean dishes, the rest of the chores are left for his wife. He also decided what his first car is, of course that's consistently changing. Initially he wanted a Ford Mustang, later he changed it to a Nissan Altima.

We were waiting for our flight at the airport. Sitting next to us was a 3 year old pretty Hispanic girl, her mother, and older sister. Albert managed to get her attention, but when she came over, Albert started to fill up a form. The girl found that boring, left to play with a cat. Albert finished the form, wanted to show it to that girl, but was too timid to get closer to her. Yuqi and I at first were puzzled, then later we realized that Albert were trying to impress her with his strength. That's really nerdy, but also kind of cute. He's yet to learn how to deal with girls. : )

Albert loves math

Albert started to do math when he was three, but he's really into it recently. He asked "Mommy, can you teach me multiplication?" He even enjoys memorizing the addition and multiplication tables. Albert always wanted to do division, but I told him to hold it off until he grasped multiplication. Now he thinks it's time, started practicing division himself.

Albert would do math in workbooks or create math questions himself. He then asks us to grade it and always says "don't forget to draw a happy face and write Excellent".
