August rush

Mya’s tween days are starting too early..
Overheard:
“Leave me alone!” (I don’t think we say this to her, do we??!! Time for reflection..)
“I’m xxx (doing something). Please do not disturb me.”

***

Her favorite song these days is the “Princess song” that she made up.
“I’m a beautiful princess!
Mummy got me some presents!
Mummy told me to swim across the pool!”
Each line ends with a high pitch note at the end. And for the record, I did not tell her to swim across the pool.

Mya is teaching Na-Na Sylvia Chinese these days, so Na-Na told me.
Except, it’s “Chinese words” from Mya’s dictionary, delivered with a straight face.
“What’s good morning in Chinese?”
“Hong2-gu2.”
“What’s strawberry in Chinese?”
“Hong2-kah1.”
It’s hard for me to keep a straight face and teach my little pixie Chinese!

It’s yet another milestone today for my little Elliot. He’s no longer just rolling around to get to places. He’s kicking and inching forward. Next milestone: army crawl!

And thank you Yee-Yee for coming to hang out with us. These “ordinary” days are extraordinary because of you.
