At noon ba ba caught Ella ENNN and put her on the toilet, she took a shit. We gave her a piece of candy. Mimi asked for candy. We put her on the toilet, she couldn't pee. We said no pee no candy. She whined 可是我尿不出来。And became more and more inconsolable.

After nap we put Ella on the toilet and she took another pee. After seeing the pee go flushed in the adult bathroom, she slowly strolled to me, said in a tiny voice 妈妈我上厕所啦。所以我可以吃糖吗。Lao lao broke the candy into many small pieces and I gave ella one.

The girls both saw haibao on the ground and headed to it at the same time, with mimi grabbing haibao a little earlier. A fight ensued. I said for ella to wait because mimi got to haibao first, and mimi will be done soon like usual and she'll get her turn. Mimi said "我玩儿完了。给你。" Threw haibao in the air towards ella. Ella picked it up and stress kissed it. Played with it happily.

In the afternoon, grandpa was sleeping in the play room. Ella went to him and bat at him, said 我要上厕所我憋不住了。Grandpa got up and put her on the toilet. She took a shit. After Ella went, I considered candy but held back. Mimi still tantrumed when we tried to put her on the toilet. I asked if she'd like to try for a reward. Ella came and asked in a small voice 我在厕所里大便了我有奖励。I gave her a small piece of candy. Mimi didn't go.

We were eating tang yuan and she said 我憋不住了。 I put her on the toilet, she still fought, and didn't pee. After a bit she said 我尿完了。 I got her up. She said 我不会打扰你的。我不会尿在地板上的。我也不会尿在那个地板上的。And pointed at the floor she peed on earlier in the day.

At night mimi started crying immediately after music started. Lao lao comforted her while ba ba and I got ella upstairs. A little after we settled the girls and came down. Mimi started calling lao lao. Ba ba went to check, I heard mimi yell "姐姐痒痒。" ba ba gave ella some lotion and came down.

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 ...

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...

Lao lao reported xiao E said "xiao woo ma ma 坐这里". And pointed at ba ba's computer chair outside the fence. (This was the first report of "woo ma ma". Later it was revealed by "woo ma ma", xiao E was referring to herself). Lao lao taught the girls to say song yue and jay mu 死. By the time the adults got camera out, ba ba's name had became sparky. When the adults came home after work, Xiao E was unhappy to see them. She nonono'ed. She was taken to high chair. She continued to whine. Lao lao was afraid it was because she didn't nap. First bite of meat into xiao E's mouth, xiao E munched and stopped whining, no more whining afterwards. She remained happy the entire evening. Xiao E ate almost all the yogurt oat bao. Mimi only took a small lip touch of the yogurt. She spit a little, looked at ma ma, hit her head, said "bad bad". She was offered some water, she drank, put down the bottle, looked at ma ma, hit her head, said ...
