Zozo the Clown Fish

Adventure Aquarium, originally uploaded by szachko.

Zozo is the reason to start the whole Zachko Aquarium Fantasy.

When visiting a local aquarium shop in New Jersey, Zozo was so amazed the way clown fish swims that she invented the clown fish move. Of course, Mommy, Daddy tried very hard to keep ONE clown fish in the tank. Abby will exam the health of the fish and make sure the fish is fed twice a day.

Surely, Zozo is the trend setter...

Differential Treatments

Hubby was on business trip and I needed to drop off girls at summer camp by myself. Abby looked worried and asked:

A: Mom, who is going to drop us off at camp?
Me: I will.
A: Are we going to walk to the camp?
Me: No. I will drive..

Abby pulsed a second and turned to Zoe saying:

A: Zoe, you have to keep quiet. Mommy is driving today.
Z: ......
Me: .......

Sincere Advice

Reunion, originally uploaded by szachko.

EK was Abby's 1st grade classmate. He is very nice and gentle. After 1st grade, he moved back to France with his parents. We missed the whole family a lot. The whole family came to visit US in summer and we are lucky enough to have chance to spend time with them.

During the chatting, EK gave me a sincere advice:
"Never put your wife's name o Tattoo. What if you get divorce, then you are stuck...."

I looked at him speechlessly and then smiled back and thanked him for this sincere advice...

Both girls learned how to ride the bikes without training wheels this spring. It is one of great achievements that girls have done this year.

A Moment With Mom

Wallace Tea Party 2011, originally uploaded by szachko.

It is Wallace Tea Party. With all her heart, Zozo sincerely invited me to her tea party tea. She was very excited to see me show up in the classroom. She made sure I was in the right seat and listened to her sining. Of course, she made sure I took pictures with her teacher, Ms. DiVicent, and her best friend, Olivia. Zozo helped to pick up my favor cookie and we compared the tea we had the year before. She was such a good girl that she insisted she should have three cookies as told by teacher. Zozo also double checked with me to ensure she got all my favors right. She showed me the my favor list in her mind.

Yes! Zozo, you got them all correct! Mommy had a wonderful moment with my Zozo...
