Ni Hao Kai-lan!

You speak Chinese!

One of your new favorite shows is Ni Hao Kai-lan (Ni Hao means hello in Chinese and Kai-lan is the main character's name). The other day, we were at the bookstore and you were looking at a book and you kept pointing and saying, "Komo! Komo!" I looked down and sure enough, there was a picture of a dinosaur (komo means dinosaur in Chinese)!

What do you want to be when you grow up?

Your teacher asked you if you were going to be a Police Officer when you grew up, you said, "no, it too dangerous". Instead you told her you were going to be Batman and get the bad guys! Another kid in your class told you there were bad guys at his house and you told him, "it ok, I be Batman and come to you house and get the bad guys for you". Such the imagination!

My Mother's Day Gift

As Mother's Day approached, I was trying to find out what Daddy was getting me, so I asked you what you were getting me for Mother's Day. You told me, "a small baby two wheeler" (you were talking about the battery operated, ride on four wheelers for kids smaller than you). I said, "really, for me?" You told me, "no Moma for you small babies at work". How much sweeter can you get!

Time Out!

Today, we were flipping through the channels and we came across Sponge Bob. I told you I didn't want you watch it. When you asked me why, I told you it was b/c Sponge Bob's a bad boy. You said, "well, he needs uh go uh timeout". LOL!

Riding on the Big Boat to Messyco!

We all just went on our very first cruise and our very first time to another country. We had told you about what we were doing and you were very excited! Everytime we would look off the back of the "big boat" as you called it, you would ask, "is the big boat goin' uh Messyco?" I would tell you yeah, we're going toward Mexico. After we left Mexico, we were again looking off the back of the boat and you asked, "are we goin' uh Messyco?" I had to tell you, "no, the big boat is taking us back home now". You said, "NO! I want the big boat to turn 'round and go back uh Messyco". You were so sad! I have to agree with you though, we didn't get to spend enough time in Mexico.

Nosey Rosey!

Lately, more and more I hear. "What's you talkin' 'bout?" or "What's you doin' in dere?" If you hear me and Daddy talking about something, you will come out of your room and say "What's you talk' 'bout?" If I'm in another room such as the bathroom, you'll stand at the door and say "What's you doin' in dere?" You're certainly turning into a little Nosey Rosey!

"A Prize"

You crack me up kid! I think I've told this story to everyone:

I went out grocery shopping today and when I got back, Daddy had wrapped one of my Christmas presents and put it under the tree. When I came and sat down, you came up to me, with your hands behind your back and brought them out to show me a small box and you said "a prize" (surprise), after this, our conversation went as follows:

Moma: "You got me a present?"

Chase: "Des" (Yes)

Moma: "What is it?"

Chase: "A watch for you (your) arm"

Moma: "Really!"

Chase: "Des" (Yes)

Moma: "What color is it?"

Chase: "Princess Pink"
