Today started early with Hamer waking up and making a simple but satisfying breakfast for us. After breakfast, we exercised together, running and playing agility games until noon. On our way back, we bought ingredients for noodles, and Hamer proudly cooked her own lunch, enjoying every bite.

This morning, Hamer woke up early, climbed into my bed, and asked if she could start getting ready. I encouraged her to decide, and she got ready efficiently, finishing by 7:20. We enjoyed a beautiful sunrise on our way to school, arriving at 7:25, likely the earliest.

After dropping her off, I practiced ... puran.blog https://puran.blog/2024/11/29/235210.html

Xiaoyan woke up early, and I went back to sleep, not getting up until Siri reminded me at 7 AM. Xiaoyan had already left by then.

Hamer woke up later, worried about being late for school, but after a quick time check, she felt reassured and we arrived at 7:39.

After dropping Hamer off, I read a chapter o... puran.blog https://puran.blog/2024/11/28/223133.html

In the morning, Hamer got ready mostly on her own, and we arrived at school before the gates opened. Her independence filled me with pride.

After breakfast, I resumed my English practice. On the way to work, I listened to two podcasts: one on parents' emotions affecting kids, and another about a girl prac... puran.blog https://puran.blog/2024/11/27/220946.html

Beijing has been freezing lately. Riding my scooter felt like the wind was slashing at my face. After badminton, the cold cut straight to the bone. I considered buying a helmet but couldn’t decide between a scooter helmet or a motorcycle one, so I chose to sleep on it. That night, the first snow of the sea... puran.blog https://puran.blog/2024/11/26/230743.html

This morning, Hamer snuggled into bed, and I enjoyed the peaceful warmth. After dropping her off, I felt calm, a feeling that lingered from finishing my journal last night.

Reflecting on how to guide Hamer, I picked up Positive Discipline. Xiaoyan and I had discussed her unkind behavior toward friends. I ... puran.blog https://puran.blog/2024/11/25/223401.html

I woke up relatively early this morning, and Hamer and I headed to the small square, full of excitement to continue our training. The weather was noticeably cooler than yesterday, but our enthusiasm remained undiminished. We started with agility ladder drills, ran two laps, and played badminton for a while... puran.blog https://puran.blog/2024/11/24/212205.html

I noticed that a pattern resembling a map had formed on the egg while I was having breakfast.

We started the morning with delight, excited to invite Hamer’s friend for training (or “playing” as Hamer saw it). But we ended it with frustration and hurt.

When I woke up this morning, I felt refreshed and energized—it had been an especially good night’s sleep. Around 8:30, I started packing up to take Hamer to meet her classmate for some exercise. Hamer was particularly excited about the agility ladder and rings that had arrived just the day before. She’d se... puran.blog https://puran.blog/2024/11/23/234805.html

This morning, I placed a phone playing a pinyin song beside Hamer’s pillow before leaving the room. After a while, I returned to wake her, and she slowly got up. Just as she was heading to the bathroom, she suddenly mentioned her nose was bleeding. I quickly helped her pinch her nose to stop the bleeding a... puran.blog https://puran.blog/2024/11/23/230717.html

This morning, I took Hamer and her friend out for some exercise. We used agility ladder ropes and rings, played badminton and tennis, ran three relay races, and finished with a fun ring toss game. The whole morning flew by in no time!

Today, I experienced “Murphy’s Law” firsthand: anything that can go wrong will go wrong, and if you’re worried about something happening, it’s even more likely. Recently, I moved a “sample interval” task on my Kanban to-do list directly into “done” without properly addressing it. As a result, during this a... puran.blog https://puran.blog/2024/11/22/084711.html

Today, I experienced “Murphy’s Law” firsthand: anything that can go wrong will go wrong. If you’re worried about something happening, it becomes even more likely. A task related to the sample interval on my Kanban to-do list was marked as “done” a few days ago without actually being addressed.

Last night, Xiaoyan had planned to continue taking Hamer to school, but by morning, she felt too tired and ultimately gave up on the idea. She decided not to go to work today, opting instead to take a day off and rest.

The morning’s work went relatively smoothly. I followed the Pomodoro rhythm to tackle t... puran.blog https://puran.blog/2024/11/21/084837.html

Today is a special day. In the morning, when the alarm went off, Xiaoyan opened her eyes. I nudged her and asked, “Are you taking Hamer to school today?” Last night before bed, she had mentioned wanting to try something different, but she hadn’t agreed to my suggestion at the time. This time, however, she ... puran.blog https://puran.blog/2024/11/20/085443.html
