Someone can count to 10 in Cantonese now! After I sent the video to Sucheng, he said “can she do that in Mandarin too?” Hello! I’m in charge of Cantonese here, not Mandarin. That’s all you babe! Pardon my screech in the video. I was overly excited!
Happy Mother’s Day to all the mommies out there. We have the world’s most difficult yet rewarding job in the whole world!
Today we went out for a nice lunch around our neighbourhood and then to the pool in the afternoon. It was quite a warm day so it was perfect! For dinner, we ventured out to Kowloon and went to a hot pot buffet place. We’ve been there once and thought the food was pretty good and it was decently priced. We were so hungry by the time we ate that I think we got more than our money’s worth there! Plus Sienna was free but she ate just as much as Cadence! Woohoo!
Aren’t they just the cutest? We met this little girl awhile back at the park (as you already know from an earlier post) and I finally reached out to her mommy to set up a play date for them. Poor Sienna usually tags along on Cadence’s play dates so it was a lot of fun being able to just hang out with a little friend the same age. Sienna looks like a giant next to to her!
Yes, we did it! Sienna was officially potty trained last week at 22.5 months. Not bad at all. The first few days after our Australia trip was a bit painful. She had 3-4 accidents for 3-4 days in a row. I was about to bring the diapers back out. However, when I told her that if she keeps having accidents she will need to wear diapers again, she said “no”. Well that did it. After two weeks, she has been accident free now for a whole week and most of the time she even tells me when she needs to go. So grown up! Congrats my love!
Yesterday was International Worker’s Day, AKA Labor day which meant a day off for everyone. It was a great beach day!
A few weeks ago, my phone rang and a little voice appeared. I asked who she was looking for and she said “Cay Cay” (Cadence’s nickname). Then I asked who she was and she said, “I’m Huang Chung Yee, her friend from school.” I knew exactly who she was. She is one of Cadence’s classmates at school and she’s super friendly and cute. Whenever I see her, she always says hello to me and calls me Cay Cay’s Mama. So sweet!
Anyway, we thought Cadence wouldn’t be getting any phone calls at least for a few more years, but we were wrong! That little girl called once last week and again today. Apparently, she had questions about homework. So funny. They actually carried their entire conversation in Mandarin and they were singing their school songs too. Before they hung up, the little friend asked Cadence to call her tomorrow. Hmm…not sure if I’m liking this, but Sucheng is loving it since they are speaking all in Mandarin!
Here are the rest of the photos from our awesome trip. Enjoy!
