At night it sounded like the girls climbed out of the baby gate. Then we heard Mimi say 我们不能下楼要不妈妈爸爸会批评我们。 In a really deep hush voice.

The girls helped ba ba sweep. The tools were hard to maneuver. Xiao E slouch troll walked, Mimi had trouble moving the rake on the pavement. They were offered branches. They discarded the branches and picked up the tools. Ba ba finished sweeping, the tools were confiscated with a promise for bubbles. Ma ma put the tools away. Mimi followed. Ma ma came out, xiao E was at the door under the ledge where bubbles rested, expectantly "en"'ed at ma ma. When xiao E was playing, if gor gor stared at her, she would say "ella 在做什么?". When the adults asked Mimi to do something, she would say "No!", stare at the adult, then say "为什么no ah?". When the girls see gor gor, they would say "gor gor 摁摁". Sometimes "摁键", at first ma ma thought they were saying en ji, the pushing chicken. Ba ba reminded ma ma the girls wanted to say 摁键盘. Mimi loved saying hey row (hello) to all objects.

I showered with the girls. I gave them the water light we got from a bubble tea drink. Mimi grabbed onto the cube and grumbled throughout shower. Xiao E kept asking me to put the cube in the water.

I was in the kitchen getting food ready, when I heard Mimi saying "给你俩玩具。" repeatedly. I looked, Mimi was throwing toys into the orange bowl, I'm not sure if she was indeed throwing two at a time. Ella had a horse in her hand, said "玩儿玩儿玩儿" every time Mimi threw, and punched the toys in the bowl with the horse. Then Mimi said "好啦。海豹玩儿。" She took the hai bao, dived it into the bowl, wildly swung it left and right, yelled "玩儿玩儿玩儿". The toys sprayed everywhere. Ella happily bit me goodbye, while stating "今天不去幼儿园". Mimi ignored me. I went out to door, saw Frank standing on the couch handsomely and quietly. James came out in a few minutes after changing and going to the washroom. Frank continued to stand there in the same pose quietly, and watched us drive away. When we came home, the girls ran to us saying "我要月饼。" We offered them some bread and yogurt oats cereal. They ate quite well, and washed well. I still denied them m...
