ElMi logs

We went to the backyard to play while james chopped the fallen branches. Mimi scooted on the motorcycle, pretending to be lai de. The girls explored different parts of the yard with the stick James gave them, James even gave me a super long one. We walked and poked and beat leaves. We came back to the deck. Ella rode the motorcycle, then kept saying it was broken, and lai de couldn't ride it anymore. Mimi eyed here now and then. I asked her if she wanted to ride the motorcycle she only needed to ask Mimi. Ella ran to Mimi, said 我可以骑你的摩托车么。Mimi 可以'ed. The girls played some more with the sticks. Ella came back to ride the motorcycle with the same statement that it was broken so lai de couldn't ride it. I recorded a video, Mimi might have a little reluctant, I didn't feel it in the moment, she never gave permission, they had a brief struggle, but Mimi saw Ella riding and was ok with it. Mimi went to dig stones for 肥料 for the mulch. Ella asked me to push different butto...

Today was the girls' birthday, so we went to regene. We picked them up from bright horizons. The girls had no pee, Ella kept asking for water. We went to the reception to get some whole wheat crackers. Mimi opened her arms and said 抱我抱我。I took a cracker and gave it to her, she said 把这个坏饼干放回去。抱我抱我。I put it back, and offered her the basket. She said 把它放回去。抱我。I held her, she carefully poked at the cracker, and got two, said 一个给姐姐可以吗。I said of course, she ran to Ella, who had been standing in the hallway waiting for James to come back from getting their bag. Mimi offered the cracker a few times, Ella looked at it without interest, then eventually took it. We went to the car, gave the girls water. Mimi started eating the cracker, Ella said she didn't ant it opened. On the way to Regene, Ella whined and asked for 把饼干打开。James asked her why she didn't want it opened before we started driving. Ella said 我要在家里吃。We informed her we were not going home yet. We soon got to Regene. I op...

I was eating at the counter. Mimi got her chair, climbed up, pointed at the fiber one box, said 我要这个。i asked if she wanted the fiber one rod cereal, she said 这不是条条麦片，是饼干麦片。James reported she stuck a Ritz pack in it earlier, there was no crackers in there. James served cucumber instead. The girls reluctantly ate it, while James made egg. After egg was done, with egg as a lure, Ella finished her cucumbers, and was given egg. Mimi lifted one of her cucumbers, said 他孤单。。请给他两个鸡蛋朋友。James rejected providing friend despite Mimi's repeat pleas, Mimi finally finished one cucumber. The girls were playing in the tub when Ella started crying. When I looked, Mimi grabbed Ella's fish and threw it out, then threw her own out, then turned her head and looked at the corner. I asked them what happened, Ella kept crying for 海豚，referring the plastic long nose fish. And Mimi kept murmuring 他坏。I retrieved the fish and gave to the girls. Mimi murmured 他把我弄湿了。I asked Ella if that was the case, Ella pl...
