When I tried to get the girls to the car, Ella pouted and tearfully said 我不想毕业。我想留在Ms haleemah的幼儿园。Luckily we got to daycare just when they got ready to go play with water. I changed them, gave them sunscreen, and Ms Reshme took them outside. We said goodbye to the girls, Ella did a crab dance while saying in a cutely punctuated tone 妈妈我要把你推出大门。She pushed me out, hugged me, gave me a row of kisses on the arm, gave ba ba a row of kisses on the arm. Mimi also gave us each a hug. Then Ella crab bounced to the water table. Mimi walked slowly, coughing all the way.

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 ...
