William loves hanging out with his friends

Summer in San Francisco is unusually beautiful. It was hard for Julie not to want to take William to go play at the beach with his new friends. Watching them dig and chase dogs and birds became Julie's favorite thing to do this summer.

William is a very independent toddler. He doesn't want to sit next to mommy at the museum. Here is Pax want to be just like William. They look like such big boys sitting by themselves eating their bunny crackers.

Julie loves this video of William and Pax holding hands and taking each other to the gift shop.

Hallelujah soccer is over!

We are so glad that the swimming class is working out so well for William. He is not the next Michael Phelps yet but he is sure loving the time he gets to spend in the water ^_^

To help William burn off more energy during the day, Julie signed him up for a teddies soccer class. I guess we should have expected that he is going to have a hard time listening to instruction since he is the youngest in the class.

William's favorite part of soccer class is snacks. He doesn't like to run after the ball, jump through obstacles... he just wants to stay close to mommy...'s bag where there is cheddar bunny crackers. You can also expect to see him stare into space, looking for trucks in the parking lot, or planes flying over head. Since he started talking more, he actually will say "done! done!", proceed to sing the bye bye song, and start walking towards the gate 10 minutes into class (class is 40 minutes).

True to Julie's Taiwanese nature, she was not going to let any of these classes go to waste. She still loyally brought William to soccer class for the past 8 weeks... running after the ball with William in hand, jumping through obstacles while William cling on like a baby koala, praying for the class to end soon. When the teacher announced that today was the last class and reminded all the parents to sign up for the next session
all Julie wanted to say was " PRAISED THE LORD!!!"
We will not be signing up for any soccer classes for a while.


Here is a picture of William's friends: Paxson and Zachary. Julie took this shot while the boys are still on the train at the zoo.
