Kids' first time

A little gentleman from Brussels comes over to see his father,
and spends the summer holiday here,
the two only meet once a year,
as the kid stays with his mother who had divorced with his father.

He is my colleague 's son,
in my colleague 's eyes,
the boy is his baby,
though he is 15 years old.

The son doesn't know Chinese,
but learns France and English in school,
though the father and son are Chinese,
it is very interesting,
they communicate in Portuguese!

This afternoon,
my colleague was very worried as his son tried to take the bus by himself from home to our office,
to this little boy,
it is really a new environment,
he speaks nor reads no Chinese,
and my colleague forgot to show him the way this year.

After receiving the phone call that the boy started to leave the house,
my colleague became an ant on fire,
and kept on checking the time,
this is parent 's love -
there are so many first times for the kids.

It reminds me the other time,
for the first time
another friend's daughter took the elevator by herself back home after school,
after she succeed the task,
she told her mom the elevator was so slow and so long,
it is really a special experience for the kids,
a sign to indicate that they are growing up!
