I have been pretty busy growing up the past few months. Mommy has been sick for nearly a month, and I was too! Daddy and Jonathan have also had a cough for a long time. And today, we got the stomach flu. Yuck!
A few things about how things are going:
- I love to talk, talk, talk and talk some more. I speak English, Mandarin and Cantonese. Unfotunately, most people are not sure what I am saying because I like to mix it all up. But when I have something to say, I will say it!
- One of my favorite things to do is to scoot along on my big brother's tricycle. He recently got a new trainer bike, so I inherited his nearly new trike.
- I sleep with a menagerie of stuffed animals. I MUST have my baby bear (from Auntie Susan & Uncle Greg), Jonathan's Pooh Bear, my doggy, a giant Nemo fish, a rabbit (or what Mommy thinks is a rabbit) and my long pillow to sleep. I count them and ask for anyone who is missing.
- I am my big brother's biggest fan! He is my best friend, though he does take away my toys a lot.
- I love baths! I often stand at the tub and beg to get in even if I already had one today.
- I love my Chinese music. I dance at dinner when big brother turns on the tunes.
- My favorite food is Chinese shrimp dumplings. Yummy! I pretend to go shopping and I always buy shirmp dumplings.
- I like to draw. Unfortunately, that includes drawing on the walls, tables, and other things I should not draw on.
- I have been sick a lot this summer and fall. I had croup, bronchitis, and a double ear infection. That was after I had hand, foot and mouth - TWICE!
- I dressed up as a ladybug for Halloween. We only got to go out for about 20 minutes because I was sick, but the doctor said that the cool night air is good for croup. Thank you, Mr Doctor!
- I love blankets. I sleep with at least two, and I like them wrapped up tight. It makes me happy to be mummified by blankets with lots of stuffed animals.
- I call myself "maymay" because that is what big brother calls me. I cannot say "I" or "me" so "maymay" it is!
- I am not a very confident runner yet since I am a bit clumsy, but I do love to go out for walks.
- Whenever I fall or hurt myself, I always say that my big brother knocked me over even if he was not home. I am not sure why, but if I am hurt, I always think he has something to do with it.
- We moved! I like our new house! It is a little bigger and it is closer to Mommy and Daddy's work. I like it a lot because it has a big yard for me to play in. The old house had a pool so I was never allowed outside.
- Daddy had to give up his old car. It was on its last legs, and he was afraid to let Mommy drive it anymore. So we got a new Hyundai Elantra. I like to play in it.
- Both my grandpas are really sick. So please pray for them. I am sad, and I ask Mommy and Daddy to pray for them everynight. I miss them lots.
That is all for now. Take care and I will visit more often.
