First poem

wand twirling sparkling
the wand is shinny!
moon sparkling like a crystal shape
I like the moon!

-by April

P.S. This is what she wrote when she come home tonight (I need to spell her some of the words). Earlier on the ride home, she was whispering a poem similar to the above, and actually has better rhyme. I asked her if that's a poem she learnt from school, she said no, she just made it up. Then I asked her to remember the words so we can write it down when we come home. Of course, by the time we got home she completely forgot the words, and she made up another one.

好景不长

阿姨上礼拜才表扬的，这礼拜不知为可180度改变，变得不爱上厕所，而且屡讲不听。阿姨也说本身不要我再带尿布了，现在看来还是给送上为妙。我们也搞不清楚到底是什么原因，华华突然不说也不爱上厕所。烦恼阿！

First baby tooth out!

The Giving Tree

Last night April show me the book she borrowed from the library, it's the Giving Tree. We have the Chinese version at home. She said she really like it and this time she read me the whole book in English and we didn't cry.

misc.

妈妈出差回来，April特别多话，不肯睡觉：
April：程老师says HK is a big city, but you say it's small
Mommy: Yes, it's small but a big city.
April: It doesn't make sense
...(back and forth arguing big vs. small)
April: New York is a big city. Cedric's been there, he saw the statue girl.
Mommy: Ah, the statue of liberty. Well, we can go to New York some time.
...
April: Washington D.C. is our capital
Mommy: What's the captial for China?
April: Beijing
Mommy: Good! (这可不能不知道）

Almost diaper free

没想到老二这么快，阿姨说白天在她那里training pant都是干的。

misc.

Mommy was asking April to help with washing veggie while River was yelling and trying to climb off her high chair. Mommy got her down then back to talking to April. Next we saw River grab the stool from the powder room and stood on top of it by the sink. She's ready to help Mommy wash the veggie while April still has no clue.

Later the night, April was crying downstairs playing piano, Daddy and River were upstairs.
Daddy: 姐姐怎么啦？
River: 姐姐哭，华华乖。
