Your Highness

The usual roam about the backyard, but with a little bit of royal treatment today!

Gate to Paradise

Today was a good day. Sunny and hot, and the girls had a great time playing outside on their tricycles. I opened the back gate to the paradise outside of the house while doing chores. As soon as I turned around, the two had raced forward and came to a sudden halt in front of the open gate. Kayla paused looking curiously outside. She had no plans of proceeding forward. Kari looked out, and looked at Kayla.

"GO ON!" she said, "go right out, Kayla"
"NO no no no.... Don't," said Mommy, blocking the exit to Paradise, "媽米說不可以！(MOMMY SAID NO)"

Pause.

Insisted Kari, "但是妹妹說可以呀！（But KARI SAID YES)"
Go on Kayla...

Kayla remained frozen in space. To go ...or not to go....
Wow, there seem to be two commanders of the house as of now.

A mini grown up baby

Two and half. Almost.

When her father's battery ran dead the other day, I made my first phone call.
She curiously asked, "Mommy! who are you calling?"
Calling your daddy, I said.

The I got on a roll!

My third phone call, she walked over to me looking solemn, "媽密不要打了啦！“ (Don't call any more..)
Mommy, "不要打什麼？“ confused. (Don't call what?!)
kari, "不要打給爸爸了啦！“ She said patiently. (Don't call Daddy anymore..)
Mommy, "為什麼不要打個爸爸呢？“(Why not?)
Explained Kari, ”你刚才 以經打了啊。。。大一次就好了啦！“ (You just called, one time is enough..)

Mommy hung up the phone...and Daddy came home.
