Mimi started bawling around 2. She writhed on the ground, very loud, so I dragged her into the bathroom. After a few minutes, I opened the door, Mimi cried "花被被。" I showed her her blue flower blanket, she reluctantly came back to bed. She asked for ba ba, I said he was sick and couldn't open his eyes, Mimi said "爸爸在地牢里睡觉呢。"

Sometime after 5 Mimi started bawling again. I went to their room, Ella was sitting in bed trying to dodge Mimi's kicks, who had gone horizontal with legs on Ella's pillow. I put Mimi in the bathroom again. She again asked for hua bei bei. I lifted her blanket and she crawled back. When I went to leave Ella asked me to sleep beside her. I did and fell asleep soon. I woke up with Ella crawling on me laughing. I left.

Sometime after 6 Ella started crying, ba ba went to get her. I heard her cry for ma ma and went into the room. Both girls perked up and ran out of the room. They came downstairs to wild, and lao lao and lao ye came to get them. I went back to sleep.

I got up and shaved my hair. Ella saw me and pet my hair, asked "妈妈你的头发为什么变小了。"

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
