Miniseed

Lia was playing in Eli’s room when Karen heard this loud “BOOM!”.  Here was the aftermath…

This is why it’s important to watch your kids at all times.  This morning I was too tired and let Lia roam around, and when I regained consciousness, I heard clicking noises coming from the bathroom, which is never a good sign when you have kids.  I ran over and found Lia trying to cover up some mischief…

Here’s a better view of her handiwork…

The strange thing is, mommy doesn’t use much makeup.  How did she innately know where things are supposed to go?

James and I are considering to redo our yard. (we’ve been talking about this for the past of 5 yrs. haha…) Maybe having a hammock in between 2 tall trees? Since we cut our only tall tree 3yrs ago, I can only use the self standing hammock for now.

Lia and her favorite bear was testing the hammock that we got 2 yrs ago…

She had so much fun playing outside our yard and refused to get inside, so I have to bribe her with my homemade waffle cone ice cream…

Karen had been attempting to potty train Lia in the past, but the attempts have been futile. Lia would sit on the potty for a short while, but as soon as she gets up she’d pee or poop, never in the potty.  Until recently.  A couple days ago, we employed the Chinese tactic, which was to let Lia walk around bare and without diapers, and surprisingly we’re reaping massive benefits.

First, Lia was in the bathroom and closed the doors on Karen saying “bye bye mommy!”, and the next thing Karen knew, Lia peed in the potty!  Then we let her walk around while the potty was on the hardwood floor where our kitchen and family room met.  When Lia had to go, she ran to the potty and sat down, every time!  Then to top it all, yesterday she hadn’t pooped all day, so we made her sit on the potty before going to bed, entertaining her with her favorite toy, the iPad. After a short while, we got:

Let’s hope this is not an isolated incident.

I ventured out with 2 babies last week. Well….. to our backyard. :-p

Lia is playing her water table she got from Da A Yi…

While Eli is having sun tanning section…

We’ll go further out next time…

When I read the story of Winnie the Pooh to Lia, I read the part about the honey from the bees, and Lia exclaimed “Daddy’s ‘honey’!” (reference to what Karen calls me). When we asked “then what’s mommy?” she answered, “pooh bear”!

Here’s a little clip in San Diego.  My mom said something about “in the basket”, and Lia started dancing…
