Little Donkey

K-bao's love for song and dance has only increased over the last few months. Multiple times a day she will shout "Some music!," slide over her little white chair to her toy kitchen in order to reach her mini-CD player, and put on a few of her favorite tunes without consulting whether anyone else is in the mood for cacophonous children's tunes.

Here she is galloping about to the tune of "My Little Donkey," an old classic about a young donkey rider who ends up with a face full of mud, a story line that seems to resonate with our little one.

Because I'm Worth It

K-bao has floored us with a few of her recent pronouncements. Here are a few tidbits from just tonight:

1. At dinner, when given a bowl of rice and meat that excluded the striped bass on the table: "How do I eat this without fish?!"

2. After demanding a cookie ("Share with K-bao! Share with ME!"), when asked for her rationale, she declared: "Because K-bao is so cute."

(This was so stunning that we asked her a few more times on film just to be sure - see below)

3. During her after-dinner music session, after listening to half of the Chinese jingle "My Little Donkey," she ran over to pause the CD. "Rest for a bit," she said. Why, K-bao? "Little Donkey is tired." It's true, the song had a bit of a galloping rhythm.

Spider

K-bao's latest song. See if you can make out the K-bao-lese.

Vanity

As we know, K-bao likes to watch K-bao. Since she discovered her own blog and Dad's collection of videos, she has become very specific about her viewing requests. Her top two asks are for the clip of her throwing K-Pop's sandals into the ocean on the beaches of Waikiki, and the one of her breaking her promise to K-Mum about eating her grapes one at a time (which she labels the "Don't Worry" video, since in it she gives plenty of glib assurances before she promptly "forgets" her promise). She will watch these videos of her naughtiness with a sly smirk on her face, basking in the glory of her own rebelliousness. And then she will shout, "New one!"

Bananas

One thing the K-folks have to give K-bao - she's pretty quick. She mastered the potty-training in less than two days. The only slight issue is that she insists on calling her #2 "bananas." She will literally sit on the potty and count, "one banana, two banana, three bananas..." all of which makes K-Pop's banana and oatmeal breakfast a whole lot less appetizing. Indeed, K-Pop may be forced to cut the fruit out of his diet altogether.
