new words!

i have lots and lots of new words this week! i thought you would like to know about them!

near our house there is a BEAUTIFUL (yes i can say that) WATERFALL(and that too). sometimes i see BUTTERFLIES and i love pictures of DINOSAURS and i like CATERPILLARS too.

at bedtime mummy lets me play for 5 minutes by myself and and i was reading my book "the bears picnic" mummy reads it to me every night and i mean every night since we went to thailand and i think it is the best book in the world ever. sometimes i let her read me another book but well if it isnt the bears it just isnt bedtime!

this is how it sounds when mummy reads the first page

Mother Bear, put your apron away
We are going to go on a picnic today
Where are we going on our picnic Dad?
To the very best place in the world my lad!

when i read it, it sounds like this

mummy bear pu you pron away!
we going picpic toooooo day
where going picpic dad?
to best best world my lad

when mummy heard me reading it she was very very surprised cos she hadnt realised that i was listening every single time she read it to me, and she didnt know that i have remembered the whole book, but i still like her to read it to me, sometimes it just isnt bedtime unless mummy reads the bears

night night everyone, night night toes

microphones are cool!

i love my red dress and my new red shoes but best of all is my microphone!

the man playing piano didnt know any of my songs, but i sung my words anyway and he played his songs(i dont know how anyone doesnt know ali bali bee, or twinkle twinkle little star??

chinese new year dance!

outside my great grandads' house at chinese new year, there was this great stage, with lights and music and people watching and lots of people clapping their hands, so i took advantage of it, to show off my funky dance moves and to let everyone hear my great singing!

everyone clapped even harder and mummy said there must have been 200 people watching, i dont know how many that is cos i can only count up to 10

the week from hell!

mummy hasnt been very happy this week, and neither have i!

mummy has no money cos she hasnt been working for a month(chinese new year) and so she went to teach one of her friends classes. with gak away and vuvu busy that means i have been going to school from 8.30 am til daddy comes and picks me up at 5.30!

mummy told me all about her week:

monday she goes to school to find out the kindergarten class she is meant to be teaching has doubled in size, with lots of 2 and 3 year olds in it, and all the 5-6 year olds as well. so there is a lot of noise, no other teacher in the school and all the kids have to listen to my mummy (i think she should go to school with me) there is only enough books for a quarter of the class, and half the class dont speak any english anyway (whats wrong with them? i can speak english and chinese and i am not even two yet)

the second day she gets a brand new student that is 7 years old and has ADD (attention something or other) who rips up the other kids books, paints on the walls and rips down all the art on the walls, walks out of the classroom when ever he feels like it and the only word he can say in english is NO!

by wednesday mummy looks really sad and tired but she is trying her best i am sure

thursday comes and on her way to school she stops to get a coffee and as she pulls in to 7-11 another lady on a scooter rams her bike and knocks her off! the lady started shouting at my mummy in taiwanese and mummy just stood there with her mouth opening and closing like a fish, then the lady drove away. mummy went into 7 bought coffee and sat on her bike having a cry. mummy is ok there are no cuts or scratches but she couldnt sleep thursday night cos her neck was really sore and she was sick cos her head hurt so much

friday mummy got smart and took a video to school with her and the kids all watched it!

and oh she didnt get paid today like she should of and has to go back to the school on monday!

we are both very glad it is saturday tomorrow. anyone want a pancake?

ooops i ate it all

mummy made me a great breakfast this morning - cheese and toes, its great and i can sing the head, shoulders, knees and toes song when i am eating it, but sometimes i get cheese in my hair when i am touching my head, oh well it will wash out

so after breakfast i decided that i would wash my hair, i took my bottle of bubbles, opened them and poured them all over my head and said "mummy, nana wash hair!"

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaarghhhhhhh"
"Mummy ouch eyes! AAARGGHHHH WAAAAAA"

mummy came running picked my up and put my head under the tap in the kitchen to get the bubbles out, how can anything that is so pretty by so paaaaaain full!!!

mummy said that we could go to the shop to buy something nice (chocoleee) to cheer me up, so i put my shoes on, still crying a little bit, and my coat and we went out for a walk, well mummy walked, i was carried. when we were nearly at the gate of the complex, i saw the meow meow, and told mummy "mummy buy fish, meow meow eat fish, nana go shopping!"

at the shop the Ayi there, offered me some chocolee and told me not to pour bubbles on my head, but i said NO meow meow eat fish, nana buy fish, so mummy bought tuna and we went to look for the meow meow

meowmeow liiiiie, meow meow come ere! well she didnt want to come here so mummy and me opened the fish and sat down and mummy threw some to the meow meow but she ran away

mmmm fish mummy nana eat fish! so i ate alittle bit, yumyum mummy, i ate some more, "more pleeeease mummy" mmmm more more more more moremoremore and then the meow meow came back and there was no fish left so i said to mummy
"bye bye mummy, nana go shopping buy fish, meowmeow eat fish!

how could i forget shoes!

i love shoes! shoes are great! i love daddys' shoes, mummys' shoes, gaks' shoes and everybodys' shoes!

when mummy is taking me out for a walk she says tiana go get your shoes, yeeehaaa shoes! i go put on my shoes and then i bring mummy her shoes, i dont understand how shoes can be wrong but mummy was wearing her jeans and big fluffy socks and i brought her the shoes that she wore for her wedding, i thought they looked great with the blue fluff coming out from between the silver straps


shoes at McNono (McDonalds) are great cos all the big brothers and sisters have to take off there shoes to go play on the slides so there is always heaps of shoes for me! sometimes i like to put them in the box but most of the time i love to try them on and walk around (slowly)

well on no school day mummy and gak and me went to McNono and i found the nicest, sparkliest, big girl shoes there. they were pink and had a little heel and sparkles and Wow i loved them, i walked around showing them off for everybody. it was great, they were the best shoes ever! so i played forages like this and then the big sister came to sit next to me and was asking for her shoes! then her mummy started shouting at her cos they were going home and i would NOT take off her shoes! finally my mummy came and took them off of my feet WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

i am heartbroken!

the important things in life

there are certain things in my life that have gotten much more important recently, take cups for example

when i got up this morning i really really really wanted to drink my chocolee milk from my babys' bottle but mummy said the bottle was in the car and that daddy had taken the car to work this morning cos it was raining and that i could have it in one of my cups! well i dont want a cup! no mummy i dont want the cup with handles, no not the pink one either, NO not the green one I WANT THE BABY BOTTLE so mummy suggested the dollys' baby bottle mmmm ok

clothes are important just now, i HAVE to chose my own clothes and put them on myself or i wont put any on at all, so on friday when gak and steeeve were coming to take me out i decided to wear:

long sleeved white tee shirt
short sleeved orange, pink, red and yellow chinese style tee shirt
one green sock
one orange sock
a cream skirt with little red roses
lilac trousers
purple and pink hat with fluffy tassles
blue gloves
and pink sunglasses
i looked great!



oh and fish sweeties
fish sweeties are really really really important! mummy keeps them in a big jar and they are golden little pearls of juicy fishiness! mmmm yum yum mummy! mummy says that they are NOT candy and that they are Cod Liver Oil tablets?? but i know that they are candy and i want more! mummy says its not nice hugging or kissing a baby that stinks of fish but i love them! more pleeeease mummy!

bloody minded

when i get up in the morning i like to stay in my jimjams until i have eaten my breakfast, and i will not let mummy take them off til after i am all finished

my favorite breakfast is porridge of course, so mummy cooks some for me, puts raisins in and then i sit down and watch the "wiggles" and eat my porridge

i dont let mummy help and i dont want her to sit next to me, it is my breakfast not hers! so she sits me on a towel and leaves me to it, i am not quite sure what the the towel is for but i have to make her happy sometimes

ok i admit is porridge is hard to wash out of my hair, but it feels great on my face and neck, and i think it looks good on my jimjams

so when breakfast is finished mummy insists i get washed and dressed, but i insist that i pick my clothes myself, or i will scream and scream!

this morning i got dressed nearly all by myself (shirts are still hard) so i put on my big girl pants, then i put on my pink trousers, then i put on my lilac trousers, mummy helped me with a lilac shirt but i wanted the orange and red one, so she helped me with that too, then i put on my socks - one pink one and one orange one, then i was cardi time and i thought that the peach and white cardi was just what this outfit needed, then my yellow hat and i am all ready to go!

mummy and gak said i looked like a refugee - dont know what that is but i look great!

cooking for mummy

i love cooking! i have a great set of kitchen things that aunt sally bought for me ages ago and i like to use them for all sorts of things but now i can cook!

mummy was doing her emails the other morning and i decided to cook an apple for her. so i brought her little bits of apple in the pot and spoon fed her some and said "mummy nana cook! mummy eat apple" so like the good mummy she is she ate it all up

so i made some more and she ate that up too "good mummy"

then the pot was empty and i left it in mummys' hand and went to get the apple "wait mummy, nana cook apple"

so i brought back the apple and showed her how i was cooking

i take big bites of apple, chew them up into small pieces, spit them into the pot and then spoon feed them to mummy

after she had seen my cooking she didnt want to eat any more, i dont know why? its her fault she wont let me have a knife

living with the waltons?

when i go to sleep at night it is really important that i say night night to all the important things in my life, so here is my bedtime routine

first, i take off all my own clothes

second, milk machine runs some warm coffee into the bath for me and adds bubbles

third, i wash myself, my mummy, my dollies and anything else i can fit into the bath, somethimes my clothes, sometimes mummys clothes, my teddies, the toilet paper, and ohhhh i can open the shampoo bottles and make more bubbles yeaaah and have a swish(swim) in the bath

then, i get out of the bath, brush my teeth ALL by MYSELF!

then, into bed for a book, a snuggle and of course a boobie from mummy

then comes the important part night night time
