1) Christian has been trying to teach his meimei how to put her thumbs up to signal satisfaction/approval. “Good meimei!”
Somehow, Calista only manages to stick her index finger out. She’ll innocently ask “Like that?” and we’ll burst out in laughter, before her brother patiently wraps her fingers inwards and pushes her thumb up.
2) We were reading together last night, the kids and I, when Rae En suddenly kept going on and on about “butter cake, butter cake..” I was puzzled and asked her if she wanted to eat cake, she repeated herself a few more times, realised she wasn’t getting through to me, and said “Mama come,” pulling my finger and asking me to go towards the bookshelf.
She then made some hand motions and I realised she wanted the book with the nursery action songs..she was referring to one of her current faves “Pat-a-cake”!
Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, baker’s man
Bake me a cake as fast as you can
Roll it and prick it and mark it with a ‘B’
And place it in the oven for baby and me.
Christian laughed and ran to fetch the book for her.
3) A few days ago when I was putting her to nap, she didn’t feel like sleeping and gestured that she would take over the fanning. She grabbed the fan from me, waved it in front of my face, asked “like that? Um.”
She proceeded to ask me seriously “Are you hot? Meimei fan.” before pushing my hair away from my forehead, pretending to wipe my sweat away.
*heart melt*
4) She has started saying “Oh.” “Orh.” “Nrg.” just like I used to when I was young. She also gives the most emphatic, exaggerated, long-drawn-out “YESSSSSSSS!!!” when she is asked if she wants something she really likes, like TV or cookies. Amusing.
What are we to do with her?
