EARLY SPRING RECAP

一、早春回顾

A couple of weekends ago we went to the 100 days party of our friends’ baby. He was born in mid December so he is 3.5 months younger than Baby A. but they already weigh the same! We even got a hand-me-down onesie that was too narrow for him and that Baby A. can wear!! I don’t know what’s in Chinese women’s breast milk to produce such big babies! My downstairs neighbour has a baby two days older than Baby A. and he weighs THREE MORE KILOS. 

几个周末前，我们参加了朋友家宝宝的百日派对。他出生在12月中旬，他比我的宝宝小3个半月，但他们的体重已经一样了！我们还买了一件连体衣，对他来说太窄了，但我的宝宝可以穿！我不知道中国女人的母乳里有什么特殊物质，能生出这么大的孩子！我楼下的邻居有一个比我的宝宝大两天的婴儿，他的体重比我的宝宝重三公斤。

Another day we went to bury Nico’s ashes. It was about time. We buried them under a tree in a little park that should be safe from any construction works as there is a big high voltage tower in the middle. Nico’s neighbour for eternity is a friend’s dog who is also buried there.

另一天，我们去埋葬尼科的骨灰，是时候了。我们把他们埋在一个小公园里的一棵树下，这样就不会受到任何建筑工程的影响，中间有一个高压电塔。我们的邻居有一条狗，是尼科的朋友，也埋葬在那里。

Last Sunday it was a blue sky day and those days are not to be wasted as they are so scarce. I noticed our district is full of cherry trees. Are they new? I had not noticed them before. Maybe they were planted so Chinese people don’t feel the need to go to Japan on holiday, hehe.  

上周日是一个晴朗的日子，这种日子是如此稀少，不能浪费。我注意到我们的地区周围到处都是樱花。它们是新种的吗？我以前没有注意到他们。也许种植这些植物是为了让中国人觉得没有必要去日本度假了，呵呵。

Tomorrow is a holiday! It’s the Tomb Sweeping Festival, when people go to visit the graves of their dead relatives and ancestors. C. and his parents will go to their family’s village but I won’t because it’s at least a couple of hours by car and Baby A. is not too happy with long car rides. Besides, according to Chinese superstitions, babies can see spirits so they should not go to cemeteries!

明天是假期！是清明节，人们去拜祭他们死去的亲人和祖先的坟墓。C和他的父母会去他们家的村子，我不会去，因为开车至少要几个小时，我的宝宝不太喜欢长途的车程。此外，根据中国的迷信，婴儿可以看见鬼魂，他们不应该去墓地！
