Princess Growing Up

My princess is growing up too quickly!

Last week she finally asked for ballet lessons. So I brought her for a trial today.

She absolutely loved it and spontaneously thanked me for bringing her to ballet class. The teacher couldn't quite believe she is only 3 years (plus). I guess we will enroll her until her interest wanes.

Her precocious vocabulary includes big words (used in correct context) like ...

automatic

auditorium

advertisement

celebration

mannivannan

mammenchisaurus

fiddlesticks

and not forgetting essential words like sexy and skype.

She speaks a smattering of spanish, saying Buenos días instead of Good Morning and takes to mandarin more eagerly than her kor kor because she says, "I'm a chinese girl!" unlike her brother who says that he is an English boy.

Her bladder control is way better than mine as a child. She rid herself of daytime diapers at 24 months and night time diapers since she turned 3 yrs. My mum says I wet the bed till I was 4plus.

And her latest phrase that tickles me..... "Wa bo pui....wa tu tu ho!" (I'm not fat....I'm just nice!)

Lantern Walk

Last night we took the kids down for our annual mini lantern parade...

The sky is still very hazy no thanks to all that burning in Sumatra so I didn't see any moon. But the light in the background kinda makes up for it...

We just walked round and round the swimming pool until it started to drizzle a wee bit.

Now that the lanterns are coming down, it's almost time to dig out my Christmas tree... I know it's only September....but this year the tree comes out early before I go into labour!
