Pretty little

I love her smile...so pretty and sweet. It's rare to catch her not making silly faces. She has grown so big and witty. She asked me where my rental car went. I said, "It disappeared". She frowned at the reply, "No, Mommy, you gave it back to the man..." She remembers lyrics better than me, and she even remembers the Hello Kitty cupcake given to her 8 months ago by our neighbors! Still mischievous, still playful, but she is sweeter and sweeter everyday!

She still says to me when I ask her "who am I"....

"You are my Sunshine!!!"
Love my baby!

Pinch me

Grandpa commented in Taiwanese, "Shouldn't let that little one pinch you back when you pinch her..." thinking that she wouldn't understand.

Before you know it, Mommy's feeling that little pinch, multiple pinches, on her arm as kari looked up smiling mischievously...

We hardly ever talk to her in Taiwanese, yet she understands!

The reason I cried...

Back from Las Vagas, a two and a half day trip, Kari snuggled next to me. She put her face next to mine and said, "I missed you..."

"Oh really?!" Mommy said, surprised and so happy to hear.

Kari, "yes really. Mei mei kept crying at the restaurant. It's because I missed Mommy..."

Awwww.... you melt my heart.

A smoothie...PLEASE...

Today on the way home from Sumi grandma's house, Kari asked for her usual. Oatmeal and smoothie. Kayla said she didn't want any. After placing the order at the drive-through, Kayla changed her mind and wanted a smoothie. Unwilling to share, Kari decided to take matter into her own hand. As Mommy was paying at the window, Kari screamed through her backseat window at the cashier.

"A strawberry smoothie for Kayla, please! A STRAWBERRY SMOOTHIE FOR KAYLA!!!!!!! STRAWBERRY SMOOTHIE..."

She was loud and clear and determined with her order. Thank goodness the window was closed and Mommy sped away!
