Mimi gave ella a pair (of mismatched) chopsticks in the shower. Ella wedged them between the shower door panes, hooked a cup on them, slid the cup up and down, told me it was an elevator. I asked if rubber ducky could ride it. She took the ducky and said yes because it was her 鸭鸭. She pretended the ducky was at different places along the door frame, and she guided it to the elevator and moved it around. I left her for a while to eat. She called for me, I ignored her, she went quiet. When I came upstairs again she was standing cutely with her hands behind her back. She asked me something about the one punch man cover (big shuiryu small saitama), then went back to play with ducky. I started reading 1q84 and after a bit I noticed she was saying 这个鸭鸭不喜欢人，我就是那个人。我帮了鸭鸭，我帮鸭鸭赢了比赛，但是鸭鸭不喜欢我，因为我很严厉，因为鸭鸭总是跳错，我很严厉的教它，我帮鸭鸭赢了但是鸭鸭不喜欢我。I explored how she felt for a bit, she said 不要伤心它是我的鸭鸭。

At night after evening video, I asked if the girls can leave their room. They said no. I asked what would happen if they came out. Ella said 会被你打死。

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 ...
