Evening Walk Home

January 13, 2017 No Comments

I’ve been sick for the past two days and finally felt well enough to leave the house. So, I buckled Peanut up in the stroller and took a walk to Janie’s school.

She was up on the roof playing with WuWu (the one in yellow) and was pleasantly surprised to see me.

We decided to walk home and Janie ran to her heart’s content. It was finally a day that wasn’t raining and she wasn’t bogged down by a rain jacket and rain boots. We also got a few cute photos of them together at sunset.

This one (above) is my favorite.

Peanut also got to watch his big sister do some jumping. She looks like she’s ready for some parkour.

You can also hear Peanut giggling in the background. She’s so entertaining…

These two…

Sometimes I wonder what I did to deserve these two little cuties.

Smooch for Mama

January 8, 2017 No Comments

I’m in love again. Yesterday, this little boy learned how to give a smooch on the cheek and I got the first one. Don’t know how he figured it out but I’m so happy to get them. He often does it unprompted, which is so sweet.

shape sorter

Janie is such a good big sister. I found her teaching her little brother how to sort the blocks today. I love the happy wiggle he does when he gets his block in the hole.

Snuggles for Dada

The kids were particularly fond of Dada this evening. They both wanted a piece of him.

one more meal

December 30, 2016 No Comments

We had dinner with Ankong, Ama, Uncle Jason, and Auntie Jia this evening before driving back up to SF. Peanut was particularly fond of Ankong this evening and hugged his arm.

He also have him “kisses” with his forehead. So cute.

Peanut and Toni sat next to each other and shared food all evening.

Janie had a hearty meal including her new favorite soup dumplings!

Janie snuggled up to Uncle Jason one last time before we piled into the car for a 6-hour drive home.

Lucky for Mama and Dada, both kids fell asleep right away and we only stopped twice for gas and pee breaks. We left Cerritos at 7:30 pm, had to drive through thick fog at times, and safely arrived home by 2:15 am.

Separate Dinners

December 29, 2016 No Comments

This afternoon, we dropped Janie off at Alice’s house. She stayed for dinner and ate Uncle Johnny’s risotto. Fancy.

The girls also had a massive tea party together.

Meanwhile Peanut went out with Mama and Dada for Korean BBQ with Oliver, Uncle Dayantha, and Auntie Krissy.

Magna-tiles Game

December 19, 2016 No Comments

This evening, Janie came up with a new game. She makes a tower with the Magna-tiles and lets Peanut knock it down.

It started out with an accident and then became a fun game for both of them. Janie was super sweet to her little brother this evening.

Here’s the video I caught of them playing together so nicely. I love it when it requires absolutely no prompting or mediating.

This afternoon, we went to Zoe and Maya’s house in Alameda for a holiday dinner party. Peanut played with Maya and Anika while Janie played with Zoe and the rest of the girls.
