迪士尼樂園兩日遊---- 一次愉快的經驗 (2)
2008年1月3日 天晴 寒冷
大概昨天玩得太高興了,兩個孩子半夜都做夢叫了出聲。只會說英語的SS,竟在夢中嘟噥了幾句廣東話;JJ則大叫 “I’m wonderful!”, 可見她也滿意自己的表現。
我自然一夜沒睡好,早上要掙扎著起床。但是把孩子們叫醒卻一點難度也沒有,兩個一睜開眼睛看見在酒店裡,就樂得很,立刻換了衣服到其他的房間串門,SS不用說又去了看電梯。
吃過早餐,寄存了行李後,我們再次乘車去迪士尼樂園。今天的天氣暖和了些,遊人也少很多。我拿著舊的Guest Assistant Card和兩個孩子的「殘疾人士登記證」,去City Hall申請新卡,有了舊卡給工作人員對照,申請新卡只需幾分鐘時間。
第N次乘坐樂園裡唯一的電梯,以及懷舊蒸汽火車後,SS要玩「駛車天地」,可是這項設施不能使用Guest Assistant Card。今天的遊人雖然少些,但也要等候30分鐘;我們只好跟兩個孩子說明。孩子們都說願意等,我也就試試看他們的耐力。結果SS雖然有些不耐煩,總算在等了半小時後,終於可以快樂地駕駛小跑車。
今天樂園給人的感覺悠閒多了,冬日的陽光把我們照得暖洋洋。經過了昨天一整天的遊玩,大人都累得不大願意動,兩個孩子卻仍蹦蹦跳。我們吃過簡單的午餐後,又陪他們去「探險世界」坐船。
下午的遊人增加了,等候坐船的隊伍很長,這時又是Guest Assistant Card發揮作用,讓我們避開人群提早上船。兩年前JJ坐船時怕得縮在我們的懷裡,這次則非常投入,聽到船長有趣的講解會哈哈大笑,看見河裡吼叫的大象、噴火的山……等等也會手舞足蹈、呱呱叫。顯然是她對事物的認知提升了,也就「懂得」享受其中的樂趣。
很快到了我們回程的時間,兩個孩子要求再看一次立體電影,玩一次木馬。今天看立體電影,SS比昨天又投入些,只是聲響對他的刺激實在太大了,看完後整個人彷佛散了似的,久久不能集中。
孩子們在回程時一直說要再去迪士尼樂園,尤其希望去看將要開放的「小小世界」;於是立刻跟他們約法三章,如要再去迪士尼樂園,必須在學校、家裡都有好表現,獲得一定數量的tokens。兩個孩子立刻答應――看來迪士尼樂園可以成為很大的推動力。
回家後,趕忙收拾行李、準備晚餐,忽然想起JJ沒有像以往那樣高興過後回家就大吵大鬧;這次竟然拿了動物園玩具,自得其樂地在排列巡遊隊伍;欣慰之餘忍不住親了她一下,告訴她我們非常滿意她的表現。
後記:
兩個孩子第二天在ABA的老師指導下,都為這次的遊玩寫了一篇日記。平時要SS寫日記,他最多只能寫三、四句,這次卻是欲罷不能,自己堅持寫了兩大頁。雖然裡面有些事件次序錯了,並且寫了大半頁是他乘坐電梯的過程,但也是一大進步。JJ則天馬行空,自創了一些人物加入我們的行列。看他們兩個的日記也是一件賞心樂事。
SS and II, you were so good. Mom is going to bring you all again to Disneyland soon. Yeap, if you both are work- hard, possibly you can go to visit Disneyland every month!!!!!!! Hahahha, I want to go too!!!?!?!?!??!? I tell you , you may go to bigest Disneyland one day. It is far far away from home???????

JJ &SS 果然進步不少﹗hh也常嚷著要去迪士尼,但第一次的經歷真讓我怕怕 大些可能會好一點吧﹗

Glad to see JJ & SS can enjoy so much and are willing to put down their memories in writing! Trust both dad and mom were exhausted to accommodate their needs.
回覆刪除We always hope for the best for our children but very often, outcome is not what we expect - I went with my son this morning to CAC for pre-primary assessment and the results are below my expectations! After all, my little boy has shown steady improvement during the past 2.5 years provided with all kinds of trainings, therapies, etc. Although I can expect the not-too-good result, I remind myself of not comparing him with others but only with himself. What a difficult lesson to learn!
Sorry, sjmama, I have put my own things in your blog but just want to find a place to release!
[版主回覆01/08/2008 17:10:00]Dear Justin2002,
I totally understand your feeling! I had such experiences in past years when we brought SS or JJ to do assessments. Now I always remind myself to compare with their previous performance only, not to compare with the other kids. That makes me feel better.
Even when I saw my kids' school performance, I was so Ah Q that I used the screen of my camera to look at them, so that I could concentrate at their performance only without looking at the other kids. And I tried to comfort myself whenever I noted they had shown any, even just a little, improvement. Just because they are my love!
Cheer up! You and Justin have done great job in the past years! And for sure he will keep on improving!
這兩年小寶寶真的進步好多呢,真的是不枉此行!
