New Table Slide...

She looked like a little snowboarder... Kari discovered a new fun activity when Kayla wasn't around!

Since daycare began, Kari has stopped crying when I drop her off at grandparents'. It seems now she's quite pleased if she could stay with A-ma and A-gon, as opposed to school.

Each night I ask her, "Kari, where would you like to go tomorrow?"
She'd reply, "to grandmother's, or to mommy's house, not to school..."
Each morning I pick her up, she'd state, "Mei-mei is going to A-ma's house, not to school!"

Perhaps one day she'll learn to like it...
I hope.

Mommy, "Bao Bae... Mommy needs to clean up the table first before dinner can be served. Wait a minute, okay?"
Kari, "Okay, Mommy. 妹妹也要幫忙!(I want to help too!)“

Another day...
Mommy, "? Mei-mei, Mommy needs to do dishes,okay? So...go away..."
Kari, "Mei-mei yao bu yao si wan?"
Mommy, "honey when you grow up..."
Kari, walking away, "ok..."

Yet another day....
Kari came home from grandma's and saw a pile of messy post-it papers left by Kayla.
"uh-oh...shay non de? Shi mei mei non de ma?" Kari thinking.
Mommy, "mei-mei hurry up and clean up!"

Kari proceeded to clean the mess as Mommy watched with arms folded across her chest.

Mei-mei all of a sudden turned around and looked at Me, "Mommy hurry come help ba!"

I can't wait for you to grow up, baby pie...
