In the car...

Mommy: Did you have juice for lunch? (Grandma packed the lunch, Mommy has no clue.)
April: Yes, apple juice
Mommy: ok, ic.
April: I like grape juice more, can you get me more grape juice? I want two four.
Mommy: two four? You mean two four-packs?
April: yeah, that's eight. That's a lot!
Mommy thought: No way, she knows multiplication?

Mommy: What about two three?
April: six
Mommy: What about two five?
April: I'm going to trick you...ten
Mommy thought: WOW! Am I dreaming?

River report

今晚妈妈无意地让 River 抓妈妈的手指头放在嘴里咬,发现小白出来了!River 不再是无齿之徒咯!比姐姐早了正正一个月。妈妈从一个多礼拜前停了喂半夜里的一顿,River 现在每天4顿奶,每顿5.5 - 6oz,都是喝奶瓶。妈妈只打奶,不喂奶了。没想到就这一个多礼拜牙齿就冒出来,时间对挺准的。而且,只从奶奶来了,发现 River 不爱吃 babyfood 了,现在她跟大人一样,喝粥吃饭。剩下的好多瓶 babyfood 不知能往那里送?

还有就是 最近 River 喜欢做小兵,天天要站岗,也喜欢把自己拉站起来。今晚妈妈又看到她不用帮忙的,自己抓着东西站起来。但是还不会爬,只会原地打圈。

Miss April

April: Ok, story time. I'm the teacher and you are my kids.
Daddy: Oh, okay.

She started reading and held the book facing outside for Daddy to look at.
April stuck somewhere, and Daddy was trying to help her.

April: You can't help me. I am the teacher, you are my kid. You don't know things.

Daddy grew tired and laid down to listen.

April: No napping, you only nap at napping time. Now sit up. You sit cross legs and hold your hands in a fist.
Daddy: Oh, okay.

April stopped reading...

April: Where's your friend?

Daddy paused and realized she meant River.
Daddy went to the other room and grabbed River(student #2) over.
...
April's done reading the story.

Daddy: Good job!
April: No, you can't say "Good job", because I am the teacher. Teacher always do good job.

Wave bye bye

Recently River learnt waving bye bye, we love to do it with her before heading out to start our day at school or at work.

公公婆婆走了,奶奶来了

上星期公公婆婆回香港,奶奶来帮忙带 River。River现在很认人,头两天不要奶奶抱,累得大家。这两天回正常多了。

无齿之徒爱上黄瓜

River loves sucking and chewing raw cucumber, she will cry furiously if we take it away from her. She will also be angry if she couldn't get any more juice out of it by her gum.
