Forgetful? Try eating memory-boosting foods


In another study, the phytochemicals, anthocyanin and quercetin, actually reversed some of the age-related memory deficits in laboratory animals. Some of the memory-boosting foods are:
  1. Some of the best cruciferous vegetables: Broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, and bok choy.
  2. Some of the best leafy green vegetables: spinach, collard and mustard greens, kale and Swiss chard.
  3. Some of the best foods for anthocyanin: Berries (all varieties), cherries, black currents, eggplant, red, black, and purple grapes, plums, rhubarb, red onion, red apples, red/purple cabbage, and red beets.
  4. Some of the best foods for quercetin: Onions (red, yellow, white), kale, leeks, cherry tomato, broccoli, blueberries, black currants, elderberries, apricots, apple with skin (Red Delicious), and red, purple, and black grapes.

爸爸,请吃!Papa, please eat!

On the 19 May 2013 evening, TK offered a packet of roasted seaweed to Papa with a bow.
Papa was very touched by this gesture of TK's filial piety.
TK didn't eat much though as the crispy sheets of seaweed were not shredded.
Nonetheless, this act of offering and sharing
was first captured on lens
at 2y 8m 12d old..
Something TK picked up at Childcare Centre..and still practising
since joining at 18m last April..

自己来 自己来 Let me do it...myself / for you..


母亲正要拉开储藏室(没关紧) 的门。 
孩子:(讲出自己的名字XX) 来!

母亲动作太快了,把门拉开了,结果孩子上前把门关了再拉开。母亲刚进去正要把婴儿拖车搬出来,放在大门外。
孩子:(开始慢慢地关门,淘气地问) 你要一个人在(储藏室) 里吗? 
母亲:(快速地把婴儿拖车搬出来,笑着回答)不要。谢谢你, 宝贝。妈妈要拿鞋子了。
孩子:(立刻向鞋厨走过去,边走边说道) XX来!

孩子把门打开,从鞋厨里拿出母亲的鞋子,再拿自己的鞋,然后把门关上。
母亲:谢谢宝贝。妈妈帮你穿鞋袜吧。
孩子:XX 来!

母亲:好,你长大了,会自己穿。真好! 
孩子:(挣扎着,好不容易成功穿好一只袜子) 我不(会)费。
母亲:哇!宝贝穿好了右边的。来,妈妈帮你。
孩子:(穿好鞋袜拒绝母亲扶他起来,说道) XX 来!

准备好一切孩子上学所需要的东西后,孩子不要坐在婴儿拖车里,选择帮忙拖车到电梯里。
母亲:(到了电梯厅)宝贝,按电梯吧。
孩子:XX 来!
母亲:过来,电梯A要来了。
孩子:哦!

孩子:(进了电梯后)我要上车。
母亲:好的宝贝,谢谢提醒。
