圆圆看见地上一只小虫，惊讶地问是什么。
我回答那是一只甲虫，她”顿悟”地说：“噢！假的！”

圆圆在幼儿园
圆圆每天睁开眼睛就期待去学校，那里有好吃的东西，好玩的玩具，还有可爱的老师和朋友。
圆圆去学校，就好像鱼儿回到了水里一样，逍遥快活，从来都是非常乐意的。
在校门口啼哭不下车的状况，一次也没有发生过。

感谢我妈
在《建築家安藤忠雄》（商周出版）电子版的新书介绍里，看到作者的一段文字：
在資訊進步，受到高度管理的現代社會中，人們似乎都被「無時無刻都要待在光芒照得到的地方」這種強迫意識束縛住了。 因為大人們的任性，孩子從小就被教導不要去看事物的陰暗面，只要看光明面；一旦接觸外界的現實，感覺自己進入了陰影之中，就放棄一切，撒手不管了。最近越來越多新聞報導這種心靈脆弱的孩子所發生的悲慘事件。 什麼是人生的幸福，每個人可以有不同的想法。 而我認為，一個人真正的幸福，並不是待在光明之中，從遠處凝望光明，朝它奮力奔去，就在那拚命忘我的時間裡，才有人生真正的充實。
这真是一个自学成功的建筑家经过数十年的历练，对人生最透彻最真实的体悟!
电子书讯里，关于安藤忠雄的介绍是这样的：
出生在大阪老街的安藤忠雄，是雙胞胎中的哥哥，但他因為從小就過繼給外婆家，所以是跟著阿嬤長大的孩子。安藤忠雄的阿嬤家是做買賣生意的，從小就沒人管他的功課或是生活。所以安藤忠雄每天放學回家就是找同學玩，或是到住家附近的鐵工廠、木工廠閒晃，看師傅工作，偶而也跟著學做一點東西。他從小的功課就是倒數幾名，也沒想過未來要做什麼。阿嬤只教他：「守信、守時、不說謊、不找藉口。」連他生病都要他自己走路去醫院看醫生，完全訓練他獨立自主不依賴別人。安藤忠雄到了高工二年級，跟著弟弟去打拳擊，練習不到一個月，就拿到拳擊手執照，第四場比賽就拿到四千元獎金，那時大學畢業生起薪不過一萬元，所以他非常高興靠自己的身體工作而獲得報酬。拳擊是一種孤單的運動，只能靠自己的毅力與努力去練習、上場比賽。安藤忠雄曾代表所屬拳擊館去泰國比賽，第一次一個人出國、看到不一樣的世界，卻也讓他更加感受到拳擊手這條路所要忍受的孤寂。後來，看到世界拳王的練習時，安藤忠雄才體認到自己不管再怎麼努力，都達不到那樣的成績，毅然決然放棄做一名拳擊手。雖然他從小就喜歡動手做東西，但引導安藤忠雄走向建築之路的關鍵，是世界知名建築家柯比意。他深受柯比意的作品集而感動，不但自己做了一趟環日本之旅；一九六四年，他帶著六十萬日幣，搭船踏上七個月的世界建築之旅。在親眼看到柯比意的建築之後，他更加確定自己未來的方向。一九六九年，安藤忠雄在大阪老街一排舊宅中，租了一間房子當作自己的事務所。當時，和他一起的工作夥伴，成為他的妻子，一直陪伴他到今日。在那個最早的出發點，他設計了住宅的出道作品「住吉的長屋」。這棟備受爭議的建築，卻也是安藤忠雄住宅建築的原點──他認為人類具備足夠的韌性與毅力去適應環境，也理當與自然怡然共處。自許為都市游擊隊的安藤忠雄，並不是只有將眼光放在建築而已。對他來說，對抗都市的種種不合理現象、和一群抱持著共同理念的夥伴，一起為理想奮鬥。安藤忠雄現在的名氣，令人想不到他也曾經被業主拒絕、吃大阪市政府的閉門羹，一個「蛋形」建築的夢想，曾經等了十多年才實現。充滿挫折的人生中，還是藏著許多沒有實現的夢想。
如果没有阿嬤的话，大概就不会有安藤忠雄吧；那我现在的目标，就是做孩子们的“阿嬤”！靖杰今天早上就非常疑惑，为什么一向乐于效劳的妈妈，突然拒绝替他在面包上涂花生酱。其实很多时候，替孩子们做事才不是因为要宠他们，而是要替自己省麻烦：他们把事情搞砸了，做老妈的必须去善后。
小时候总埋怨我妈让我做家务，如今我真的非常感激她，教会了我自食其力，自力更生。感激她让我从小学4年级开始就学会做饭。老妈当年在外做生意，还不够高的我就站在凳子上，烹煮一家人的午餐。因为有那样的训练，现在我家三个冬瓜才能享用到健康的每日三餐。
天知道教孩子做事需要多少的时间和耐心。

圆圆穿裙
不爱穿裙的圆圆，某天穿了条裙子去上学，在校门口徘徊着不敢进去，老师远远招手喊她过去，兴奋地叫其他老师也出来看。
三姨从泰国买来的裙子，只穿半小时就闹着要脱，这样珍贵的时刻，赶紧拍了起来。
别人的女孩儿都爱打扮，我家圆圆就只爱捡哥哥的旧衣服穿，连头上别个发夹也给它扯下来。

圆圆上学
外向的圆圆在家里呆不住，只好一过完年就去物色合适的学校。我的标准很低，只要干净明亮就好，最好是蒙特梭利系统。两岁两个月大的孩子，去玩而已。
找学校的过程非常顺利，第3家就符合以上3个条件。学校负责人好像很怀疑：孩子不会太幼小吗？我说我们家圆圆会自己上厕所，能表达自己的感受，且超爱和小朋友一起玩，应该没有问题。
第一天上课，我在学校呆了半小时，看看学校里的老师怎么上课。然后把紧紧黏在我身上的圆圆塞到老师怀中，头也不回地走了--家里还有个敖敖待哺的呀。
第二天，待老师把正在啼哭的她强行抱下车后就急急忙忙地而走了，还松了口气，终于把麻烦鬼送去上学，至少12点以前可以安心工作！
第三天上学，最担心的是她不愿意出门，结果还好到校门前才后悔要哭。我开车回家，简直轻松快乐得像只小鸟！
第四天不哭了，老师为此一直称赞她。让我非常放心。除了最近有些怕生以外，圆圆的个性可说是豪爽和自立的。偶尔她天没亮就起床，吵着要上学，对穿去上课的衣服非常讲究，一定要她同意才可以穿上身，而且从来不穿裙。替她别个发夹，也会被扯下来。
想当年只有JJ一个孩子，旧居附近15分钟车程以内的幼儿园都跑遍了，才选中其中一家。JJ上课时还有闲情“依依不舍”，还会“牵肠挂肚”。而圆圆几乎是一下车，我就踏油门绝尘而去了，连龙应台式的“目送”也省了，想的是我案头的差事和或许已经醒来的小悦。
今时不同往日矣！

小悦到处爬
4个月大的小悦到处爬行探索，口水不停往下掉，像蜗牛一样，在地板上留下一条长长长长的粘液。。。。。。
只要一听见有人喊小悦，就马上笑得眼睛眯成一条线。不管是熟人还是陌生人，都受到同样的‘礼遇’。心情不好的时候，叫几声小悦，就能高兴起来。
姐姐很喜欢她，常常不分轻重过分热情地来一个熊抱，害爸爸妈妈精神紧张。可是小悦钟情的是哥哥，老爱对着哥哥傻笑，尽管对哥哥来说，她不过是继圆圆以后的另一个捣蛋鬼 !

沙池
一直都很给JJ和圆圆弄的沙池，因为两个小家伙每次到海边都可以玩至少半天，我和他们爸只需要久不久过去看一下，其他时间可以看书或只是静静地躺着。愿望终于实现了。沙还是过年时从batu feringi的海边大老远带回来的。
星期日的早上一心想要过个悠闲的上午，泡了杯茶，翘着二郎腿边看报纸边看两个小孩玩沙。怎知道才过10分钟，我连报纸都还没看完，他们就说不玩了，害我还要洗地和带他们洗澡，忙上半天，得不偿失 ！
如果我老家还在的话，我大概会常常带小瓜们回去吧。那个地方一打开门就是沙，手从门缝里伸出去就能擢起满满的一把。下大雨时就淹水，坐在床上折纸船往水里丢，他们肯定是要乐坏的，而我也可以很空闲--单想就很乐了！
想起三妹小时候常常从门缝里伸手出去，掏到什么就往嘴巴里塞，吃了不少猫粪呢！

奥巴马给孩子的信
'What I Want for You — and Every Child in America'
Dear Malia and Sasha, I know that you've both had a lot of fun these last two years on the campaign trail, going to picnics and parades and state fairs, eating all sorts of junk food your mother and I probably shouldn't have let you have. But I also know that it hasn't always been easy for you and Mom, and that as excited as you both are about that new puppy, it doesn't make up for all the time we've been apart. I know how much I've missed these past two years, and today I want to tell you a little more about why I decided to take our family on this journey. When I was a young man, I thought life was all about me-about how I'd make my way in the world, become successful, and get the things I want. But then the two of you came into my world with all your curiosity and mischief and those smiles that never fail to fill my heart and light up my day. And suddenly, all my big plans for myself didn't seem so important anymore. I soon found that the greatest joy in my life was the joy I saw in yours. And I realized that my own life wouldn't count for much unless I was able to ensure that you had every opportunity for happiness and fulfillment in yours. In the end, girls, that's why I ran for President: because of what I want for you and for every child in this nation. I want all our children to go to schools worthy of their potential-schools that challenge them, inspire them, and instill in them a sense of wonder about the world around them. I want them to have the chance to go to college-even if their parents aren't rich. And I want them to get good jobs: jobs that pay well and give them benefits like health care, jobs that let them spend time with their own kids and retire with dignity. I want us to push the boundaries of discovery so that you'll live to see new technologies and inventions that improve our lives and make our planet cleaner and safer. And I want us to push our own human boundaries to reach beyond the divides of race and region, gender and religion that keep us from seeing the best in each other. Sometimes we have to send our young men and women into war and other dangerous situations to protect our country-but when we do, I want to make sure that it is only for a very good reason, that we try our best to settle our differences with others peacefully, and that we do everything possible to keep our servicemen and women safe. And I want every child to understand that the blessings these brave Americans fight for are not free-that with the great privilege of being a citizen of this nation comes great responsibility.
That was the lesson your grandmother tried to teach me when I was your age, reading me the opening lines of the Declaration of Independence and telling me about the men and women who marched for equality because they believed those words put to paper two centuries ago should mean something. She helped me understand that America is great not because it is perfect but because it can always be made better-and that the unfinished work of perfecting our union falls to each of us. It's a charge we pass on to our children, coming closer with each new generation to what we know America should be. I hope both of you will take up that work, righting the wrongs that you see and working to give others the chances you've had. Not just because you have an obligation to give something back to this country that has given our family so much-although you do have that obligation. But because you have an obligation to yourself. Because it is only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you will realize your true potential. These are the things I want for you-to grow up in a world with no limits on your dreams and no achievements beyond your reach, and to grow into compassionate, committed women who will help build that world. And I want every child to have the same chances to learn and dream and grow and thrive that you girls have. That's why I've taken our family on this great adventure. I am so proud of both of you. I love you more than you can ever know. And I am grateful every day for your patience, poise, grace, and humor as we prepare to start our new life together in the White House.
Love, Dad
最近常常在想，孩子们的天命是什么？我究竟要让他们成为什么样的人？自然而然地又回到‘我自己要成为一个什么样的人’的问题上面。。。。。。
