My daughters

 I haven't written about my two daughters for a while. Now while waiting for the 3rd to come. i really need to recollect my thoughts in so many months that i haven't sat down to record them. 

Adeline has grown to be a child of determination, focus and intelligence. She excels in Chinese, English and communication. Her word choices have been precise and superior to most kids of her age. She can comprehend Chinese quickly, basic conversational with great memory. When she does something, she give it her full focus with determination to accomplish it. She ran from her elementary school home, about 0.6 miles on a straight shoot without a break. Pace herself and even sprint at the end. She isn't distracted during the course, but state focus on task at hand. Forward looking with determination to climbs each hill. No one taught her that, she just knew within herself and believe with in herself. When she first learn to fully bike on 2 wheel, the summer before kindergarten, she was very proud. Telling herself i got a hand of it. Having more confidence on her ability. 

Adeline does have more anxiety and insecurity within her. She is always afraid of being abandon. Afraid of uncontrollable situation. Getting her into panic mode that she can't calm herself. Of all chance, she was trapped in an elevator. It was pure panic for her. She could help herself and scream for help on the telecom. Her panic weak crying voice just sink your heart. As parents you know it could be bad, but you have to act strong and confidence to reassure her. What are the chances to be stuck in the elevator. The intercom was choppy, nobody provide any reassurance that they will fix it soon. we just wait and wait to know when. Adeline heart race, i can feel it is jumping out of her chest. She is trying really hard holding it together. This poor girl, her biggest fear of being trapped and uncontrolled situation just happens. What's the odd. I makes me angry and helpless. I just can't show any of that. I just want it to be over so this poor girl can be free of her panic anxiety. After over 30 min, it finally moved and we are free. Riding down again to the first floor and back up to the 11.

Audrey is audacious, creative and emotionally intelligence. She does not mind new setting or adventure out. She would spend a long week in NYC with her cousin as 7 by herself. That adventure and fun seeking blood push her ahead even though she would cry herself to sleep at night. Being along in a distance city. At 6 she also spend night alone, the next day after seeing me. She could hide her tears. Emotional tears of joys that she tried to hold back. Audrey is bold to ask for want she wants. Even thinking out of the box to get what she wants with the minimal amount of effort. She would wait after the last tennis game to see anyone might have spare unused ticket so she can ask for donation. Audrey is very attune to everyone feeling. She knows how to navigate them and quickly adjust her emotion to accommodate the other person's emotion and situation. 

Audrey is smart but not necessary hard working. She will find short cut if she can. She like to do thing with her hand and feet, but not so much using the mind. Her right brian is much more activate than left. Creativity, art, accommodating others are the things she likes. Reasoning, logical are for her to find shortcut, optimizing or quickly get out of a situation. She isn't studious, often not focus on her task and easily distracted. Her mind is often else where thinking of the next thing to do. For her wit and intelligence, she would have make us less worry if she is to focus and give all subject in school her full attention.
