Online Class Notes (Jesse)

Every Friday is a big challenge for my wife and me because our nanny have a one-day vacation，so we need to do everything by ourselves including feeding. Unfortunately my son got a cold these days，he was not interested in drinking. As before, he can drink 180ml milk only in 30mins.But now it takes more than one and a half hour to drink the same amount of milk. It is terrible，especially when we feed him at midnight.
Next Thursday，we will go back to Wenzhou. I got 1 piece of news that we cant go to some special public place which like ktv ,spa and supermarket if we did not get the covid-19 vaccine. It lead me to search place to get vaccine. It was 2 months after the government encouraged us to get vaccine. So there are not many places for us to get vaccine as before.
