Font app & good boy

We’re so busy with our new mobile app Fontogram and new house. I think we’re busy partly because we’re so enthusiastic about app development that we always over-commit to perfection (especially me … booooo ). So we’ve been severely sleep-deprived — going to bed at like…3am. That’s not a good habit at all. But we like to make good things even better… and we don’t have time when Jonathan is awake.

Nevertheless, our house construction plan has finally been approved by the architectural review board 4 months after initial submission and numerous revisions. The next step is construction documents and then the city’s approval.

The funny thing is Jonathan always thinks our new house is “Bob’s house.” Bob is our architect, and almost every time we talk about the house, we’d mention Bob. So whenever we visit the site, Jonathan would say…“Yeah! Bob’s house!” and then ask “Bob goes to work?”  So he thinks Bob goes out to work and lets us play at his house.

……

Jonathan grows up so fast. Whenever I think of the speed he’s growing and all that we have gone through together, I melt. He’s so precious and adorable.

We (daddy and mommy) agree from the beginning  that we’ll try to raise Jonathan to be successful and happy in whatever he chooses to do… even though the path he chooses might be atypical … as long as it’s morally sound. =)

…….

With that said, here are some new photos and videos to share.

So, in October after daddy’s birthday, we took a break and went to Hawaii…

Then it’s the big day – Jonathan’s Birthday on the Thanksgiving day. Turkey baby ate lots of turkey and corn.

VIDEOs – train, balloon, cake, happy hallow

Jonathan at Zoe’s birthday party.

He’s so considerate as we went shopping for Zoe’s birthday present. Jonathan wanted dump trucks, but when I presented him with 3 options for Zoe, Jonathan picked the flowery drawers with very cute beads while saying “This one. Zoe likes flowers.” He remembered from when he played with her all these months.

Here’s a video of Jonathan played with his new friend, a 3-year-old boy, at OJCC. It’s really cute that they tried to talk to each other, and the other boy was acting like Jonathan’s big brother.

Train Train and Train…

Video Jonathan picked up the train. “Knock Knock JonJon is here.” แด๊ดดี้ออกไปกดเงิน บอกว่าจอนจอนไปกันก่อน เดี๋ยวค่อยกลับมารับนะครับ ตอนนี้คืน Thomas เค้าก่อน จอนจอนก็เข้าใจ เนลสันบอกว่า He’s such a good boy หลายรอบเลย…

แต่เห็นแสนรู้อย่างนี้ เรื่องหน้าแตกก็มีเหมือนกัน จำผิดบ้าน จอนจอนตกใจที่ประตูบ้านปิด แล้วพอแด๊ดดี้เลื่อนรถก็ร้องจ๊ากเลย นึกว่าอดซะแล้ว

And Jonathan has quite impressive memory. Many months ago a grasshopper gave Jonathan a visit in his bedroom. We eventually put it outside our front door, but many hours later I accidentally stepped on the poor grasshopper when we were getting ready to go out. Mommy explained to him that it was an accident, and I felt really bad for the grasshopper.

And many months later, Jonathan spotted a picture of a grasshopper in a book, and he said “สงสาร grasshopper (poor grasshopper) … mommy stepped on it.”  (==’)

He’s also a very good assistant to daddy as he reminded daddy to do many things such as … zip up his pants and jackets, put on a matching pair of shoes, remember to get something daddy forgot like daddy’s backpack… or when I asked daddy where Thomas was, Jonathan promptly said “mommy…it’s in the trunk.”
