Potty

K-bao has been spending some time on the potty recently and here she is passing along her accrued wisdom to Baby.

By the way, you can tell that she's clearly a believer in the power of positive affirmation.

Boots

Here's K-bao marching around the hallways wearing K-Mum's boots (with U2's "Sexy Boots...Get On Your Boots" playing in her head).

Snuggle

Here is K-bao taking in her latest addiction, the aforementioned Three Little Pigs. Notice the concentration, the intensity. Often times K-Pop will have to wave his hands around to get her to blink, or actively move the cracker into her mouth so she remembers to take a bite. Of course, Pig Time is also Snuggle Time too for K-Pop; he knows these days are numbered so he'll take them while he can.

Arginine

K-bao was at our friends S&A's home today and saw her old Exersaucer, and for old times sake she asked for a couple of spins in it. When she sat down, her knees scraped the bottom. Check out the before and after - the passing of perhaps a year and a half, if that? Our little girl is on a little rocketship.

Pigs

K-bao is a major fan of Disney's The Three Little Pigs. While she's terrified of the Big Bad Wolf, she loves the pigs' song and dance routine - especially the two foolish pigs who sing "Who's afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?" right before they scamper for their lives into their flimsy homes.

Under multiple assurances from K-Pop that he won't allow the Big Bad Wolf into "K-bao's home," she now asks for the 8 minute clip pretty much every day. Here she is demonstrating her excitement ahead of her nightly viewing. Again, the Feraba African tap dance.

Tortoise

K-bao has been listening to Chinese CDs sent to her by K-Grandpop and Grandmum, with the old tale The Tortoise and the Hare being a favorite.

Here as the story begins you can see her chanting "Story of the Tortoise and the Hare!" gleefully, and then, at 0:25, she happily anticipates her favorite line of the story, which is when the Tortoise indignantly says to the Hare: "What are you so proud of?!"

Generally she is so tickled by this line that she will run around the house shouting at everyone in sight: "What are you so proud of?" which is a question that leaves the K-folks speechless.

Brushing

"Let's get those sugarbugs out"

Here is K-bao extending her good oral hygiene habits to Baby. We've noticed that as a caretaker K-bao is the epitome of inconsistency. She can be warm and doting - hugging and kissing Baby regularly - and quite responsible with Baby's food and hygiene needs. On the other hand, she likes to stand on Baby's head until it is flat as pancake, throw Baby headfirst out of the crib (chanting "1, 2, 3, Throw!" as she does it), and send Baby ahead to scout danger. Would likely receive poor feedback on Yelp as a sitter.
