The Disney commercial came on last night while I was watching TV and Mckayla was playing at her table after dinner. Mckayla paused and looked up from her puzzles when she heard “It’s a small world” song came on. Then, she said “Icky Mouse” (that’s how she calls Mickey) and when it was over, she [...]

Mckayla’s “Brothers”

Then, next day Ted told her that they’re going to meet up with “GurGur” (big brother) at JCC to swim. Mckayla said “Brandon”. Ted told her it’s not Brandon. Then, she [...]

More English Words
We’ve been surprised by the amount of English words Mckayla had picked up recently. Few days ago, I was reading the big animal book with her. She pointed out several animals in both Chinese and English – tiger, lion, camel, elephant, hippo, cat, dog, bird, rabbit, goat, horse, and zebra. We haven’t been teaching her [...]

Mckayla had her first dental check up today. She was very excited when we arrived at the dentist’s office because there were pictures of animals hanging from the ceiling and the wall. She cooperated with the assistant and went to the x-ray chair with Ted’s help. They took one picture, but when the assistant asked [...]

Cold?
Mckayla and I went out to grab dinner after playing at Gymboree. After dinner, we walked back to the car which was parked around the corner. I put on a sweater on her before we left the restaurant since it was a little chilly outside. As we walked out, I asked Mckayla if she was [...]
