Natural

Today we took LanLan to a soccer field to play for the first time. I was really impressed at how well she did. She was able to kick and run with the ball with ease. (I'm always tripping over it.) She had a lot of fun taking turns kicking it into the goal and then being the goalie. I think she is a natural at sports. At the end she had played so hard her whole face was red but she informed me that she wasn't tired yet.

First, Second, Third, 4thhead

Xiao BinBin was crying so I went into the room where he and LanLan were playing together. I asked LanLan: "Why is BinBin crying?"

LanLan replied: "I stepped on his forthhead"

4 in the bed and the little one said . . .

I walked into Xiao Bin's room and LanLan said: "Shhhh Mommy! The babies are sleeping!" She had brought in her pillow from her bed placed all the babies in the bed put toys in there for them to play with and then covered them with the blanket. She had even closed the curtain. She is a very good mama!

Sum Up

So every night before my little orchid goes to sleep there is a very specific bed time routine that we follow. Change into pajamas, brush teeth, go to the bathroom, Daddy reads a book and sings a song. When that is all done I usually go in and sing a song as well and then pray. Before we pray, though, I try and talk with her about her day. I ask her to tell me something that happened to her that made her sad and then talk about something that made her happy.

Tonight we had a very fun evening at a friend's house decorating Easter eggs. She told me that decorating the eggs was her favorite part of the party. She then said to me, very seriously and all grown-up like, "Did you have fun, Mommy?" I thought it was so sweet!! My sweet little girl wanted to know what I thought about the party and what my favorite part was.

Hungry?

"Mama, I'm SOOOOO full!". . . a few seconds later . . . "Can I have some cake?"

Fingers, Fingers Falling Down

LanLan woke up this morning and came to me all excited and said: "Mama, my fingers are still on!"

(I think she was referring to her nail polish)

Sun Shine

I woked up the sun, Daddy!

Dinner Prayer

Dear God,
Thank you for the food, thank you for Daddy, Mommy, Bin Bin, thank you for my friends and thank you for Marshmallows. Amen!

The Beginning

I have decided to begin this blog so that I can keep notes of the cute things that my daughter says and does. I also will document things we do together and hope this blog will spur me on to do even more fun things as Mommy & daughter
