The girls were offered the nice toys they received from Hillary, Sophia, and Jennifer yesterday. Today we took the girls out for a little bit of errand running. We dropped uncle Gordon off at the restaurant to help out while the girls went out to play. We stopped by a nice family Mexican restaurant for lunch and ate some nice chips, rice, and beef. The girls loved the saucy beef with rice. They saw the nice paintings on the wall and pointed out all the animals there.

After lunch it was time to do some shopping. We stopped by Target to stock up on diapers and then checked out a Halloween costume store. There were lots of costumes, and they did not care for the scary ones. Ella saw a scary giant baby mask, and walked away saying "nooooo~~~~". They tried on some hats and tried to take them off immediately. There were not many nice costumes, so we went to our next stop.

We went back to the restaurant for a snack and some play with the grandparents. Ella and Mimi sat down with menus and browsed the new selection. Mimi held hers upside down, not sure she needed the words. They pointed at the pictures and told grandpa what they wanted to eat. And then they had a little snack of more meat and rice.

All tuckered out from the feasting it was time to go home for a nice nap. After the nap, the girls were equipped with the panda packs from haoyu jie jie. Uncle Bill came over to visit and play with the girls. Uncle Bill brought them nice stuffed sea creatures. Thanks Uncle Bill! After a little bit of playing and running around, the girls got hungry. They had a little bit of scrambled eggs, fruit, and milk. And then it was off to bed!

ella letter 4 year old

4 year old Ella is a straight shooter. Once you wanted to take soft soft (flannel pajamas) with you to bed, but your hands were too full with other stuff, that you were also taking to bed. You looked at me, barked 'carry them for me'. Turned and led the way.  Once you went to bed without your soft soft, when I reminded you, you turned around on the stairs (arms full of toys), closed your eyes, leaned back, wailed with your high clear voice 'meeemeowwmaameow', looked at me, barked 'Carry them for me!" As I was picking them up, you noticed Mimi coming upstairs with a basket. You pointed at the basket, barked 'put them inside!' Mimi happily said 'oh I help you carry upstairs'. I put the pajamas in, and Mimi carried them up.  Once you ordered me to sing twinkle twinkle little star with you. After we sang a verse, you said 'hmm we need to sing by the blinds'. We went to the blinds and sang a few verses, then you said 'hmm we have to look

Ba ba reported in the morning the girls didn't get along. There was a lot of fighting over who gets to play with which toy and Mimi always lost. She was pretty upset. Given their fussiness, they were released from their play area before we went out for the day. They wandered around the house, grabbed some paper and some markers, and ran to their little desk. They each sat down and pretended to doodle on the paper. The marker caps were still on to protect the walls. I watched peppa with the girls, while pausing and quizzing them what was going on. They got some questions, like where was George's dinosaur? They answered "丢了".

mimi letter 4 years old

4 year old Mimi is a proud Mimi. When you accomplish something, you skip around the room. (Like riding a horse, one leg in the front, one leg in the back, never crossing each other, shuffles in one direction until hitting a wall, then turn around and do it the other way)  Things you're proud of:  Being 4 years old. When I praise you, for good counting, good cleaning, or good reading, you'd proudly say 'because I'm 4 years old already'.  You identify with being a helper. Once after you helped me feed Frank, I called you 'little helper for feeding dog'. The next day when I was standing by Frank's food, you bounced to me and said 'mama I really like it when you call me little helper for feeding dogs'. You've been feeding Frank since.  One night you and Ella both wanted to take a toy rider upstairs to bed. You picked the metal cart, Ella picked the lady bug. Ella took hers up one step, and started to whine to me (cutely with squeaky voice) 'I
