Hamer was very scared the first time she rode the children’s roller coaster. At first, she was too busy crying to even look around, but after one loop, she realized it was actually quite fun. Hamer couldn’t wait to ride it a second time and has already started enjoying roller coaster.

Hamer’s lower baby tooth is very loose and about to fall out.

The two pre-class days are over, and Hamer is looking forward to the formal school opening ceremony on September 1st.

I have tried to set time limits for almost all apps. Let’s see how this will change my phone usage.

Hamer was happy to go to school in her new uniform, but when she saw no one else wearing uniforms, she was a bit worried.

I forgot to cancel the renew subscription of Speak - English Learning and felt regretful about the wasted expense when I saw the renew email. I haven’t used it for a long time. When I wanted to ask for a refund, I decided to give myself a chance, keep it, and start using it again.

Today, I was quite anxious after receiving a message from my sister. She informed me that mom and the nephews need to return home earlier than expected. I’ve been contemplating how to take care of Hamer during the following week.

I just took Hamer to get vaccinated; she received two shots. Today marks her last shot of vaccinations before starting primary school.

Hamer went to the Capital Museum and the National Center for the Performing Arts with her sister, brother, and grandma. They did it by themselves, which was quite an achievement.

Hamer arrived at safety. She felt not alone but accompanied, and not tired but exhilarated.
