ElMi logs

The girls were eating eggs James made, when Mimi started saying 我要那个黑黑的东西。我觉得他很好吃。I asked her what black thing, she said that black thing. I asked her to point it out to me. She stood up on the chair, looked around, said 欸。一定是爸爸拿走了。I said I'll ask ba ba when he returns. Ba ba came back after a while, Mimi said nothing, we ate. After a while Mimi quietly asked for the black thing. James asked what shape the thing was. Mimi said 那个黑黑的东西。。。是灰色的。I asked if it was a circle? She said 它是个盒子。James realized Mimi was referring to the seseme black bean soy milk Lily gave us, in the rectangle black box. We promised the drink after they finish their apples. Then James bounced out to fix his accidental reply all. Lao lao stepped in and accidentally offered cantaloupe before the girls finished apple. Ella ate like a trooper, chewing the cantaloupe pieces to the skin. Mimi ate slowly, and asked for 黑奶whenever we made eye contact. I repeated that they had to finish the apple skins first. After a ...

Before we went to bed, I asked the girls if they knew where my headband was. I always hang it by the towel in the bathroom, and used it to tie my hair back when I washed my face. The girls took turns and said 一定在楼上 and went upstairs, but then said they couldn't find it. We put the girls in their room. After about 5 minutes Ella yelled 我憋不住啦。I took her to the bathroom and she started pooping. Mimi asked for water and I asked her to wait. I picked up a bowl I took to the stairs earlier to change it out for the cat, Mimi asked what the bowl was for and I said it was for the cats. I said her water cup was downstairs and I'd get it after I give the cats water first. I did, then brushed Frank. Then when I was getting water, Ella yelled from upstairs repeatedly 我找到了妈妈。I asked if she found a water cup. She paused a little and repeated that she found it. I thanked her and said I'll check it out after I tended to Mimi. I went to the bedroom and informed Mimi I got water. She said h...

After showering the girls I went downstairs to get their clothes. I came back to screams. I opened the shower door, saw a wailing Ella and a Mimi with her hand by Ella's head. I asked what they were fighting about. After a while it sounded like Mimi tried to move closer to the faucet and kicked Ella, and the argument degraded into physical violence. I reminded Mimi that if she pulled Ella's hair she couldn't watch paw patrol. The girls were silent. I asked if Mimi pulled Ella's hair. Ella said loud and clear 她没有。I asked again, same answer. I asked why was she crying, she said  Mimi要把我的眼睛拿出来。他要把我变成盲人。The girls soon made up and laughed at each other hysterically. At night Ella and Mimi fought. The girls refused to say what they were fighting about. We seperated them. Then I asked Ella again, she said 我们为了锅吵架。I asked was it because she took Mimi's pot or Mimi took her pot. She said it was because she took Mimi's pot. I asked if Mimi took her pot, she said no. I...

上厕所的时候mimi看到了药丸狗龙。她说 "错了错了"。我为什么错了呀，她说 药丸狗在药丸龙的@#$里。I looked and agreed capsules were indeed switched.  She said 快帮他们。while straining to poop. So I switched them. Mimi said 谢谢谢谢 so cutely. Then said 下次洗澡再跟你们玩儿吧.

A little after the 3rd birthday, Mimi got pretty angry about something. James calmed her down in the morning, I slept in. We went to Redmond town center and Mimi and James had a fight about Mimi stepping in the fountain. The fight continued home and James eventually calmed Mimi down. I read a story with Ella in the meantime. Mimi came to listen to the story. I asked Mimi to apologize to James, and Mimi went back to tantruming. James calmed her down again. Mimi curled up on the couch and slept. I played paw patrolled to wake her up, she melt down again, she hit me, I asked her to hit a ball instead, Mimi hit it, it bounced on her face, she slapped it, it bounced on the couch and back to hit her face. Mimi flapped and hit it into the air, it fell down on her head. She scrambled and finally grabbed it, stood up, walked to bathroom, and chucked it in the trash. I laughed on the ground. James calmed Mimi down. Mimi somehow melted again, and the next I saw her she was naked coptering on Jame...

We went to nine way to eat. The tables had big ladle spoons, the girls immediately got them and started banging. The server gave them big bowls, I offered them quan quan and yu yu to put in the bowls. Mimi put quan quan and yu yu one by one in her ladle, then tipped it to drink, she spilled a few. She received criticizing from James. This repeated a few more times and there was a little drama with James confiscating the ladle, then eventually giving up since Mimi started throwing stuff. After I finished eating, I fed Ella noodles and she ate a looot.  Once home Mimi found the recycle trader joe bag in the laundry room, put hai tun in there and carried it around in the laundry room making a lot of sound. I offered her a clean trader joe's bag, she proceeded. I threw another on the ground for Ella, who was eating cheese. After a bit I heard the girls fight, they were grabbing one bag. I came over and saw a bag with hai tun inside laying on the ground, so I asked Mimi why she was fi...
