This Time Next Year

K-Grandmum and Xiao Goo-Goo came for a visit from Taipei a few days ago. The last time K-bao had the pleasure of taking this shot with Xiao Goo-Goo by the Bay Bridge, it was February of 2010. In the interim year and a half, while Aunt Catherine looks pretty much identical, K-bao has almost outgrown her stroller, and has also developed - as you can see below - a bit of a pre-adolescent "too cool for school" schtick which K-Pop is not entirely pleased with.

Shoephile

Classic K-bao move. With a casual "See you next time!," the little one kicks off her Crocs, grabs an expensive retail item - a Burberry rainboot, what else? - and takes off. The girl has clearly inherited her mother's high end tastes along with her obsession with footwear. (Though what about the pilfering tendencies? Disavowed by both parents)

Naughty

2-year old K-bao had the following pronouncements today:

• (Lying down on the floor of the kitchen) "I want to sleep here today. It's comfortable here."
• K-Pop: "And if you're naughty, what do you get?" K-bao: "I get a hug from Daddy."
• (After listening to K-Mum tell K-Pop that she was a few minutes away in the car) "But Mom you didn't say you were coming on the Pine Street side of the building."
• K-bao: "I want to listen to [Andrea] Bocelli." K-Mum: "We can't do that, we're outside of the home right now." K-bao: "Yes we can, on the iPhone, I'll show you - listen to this" (opening up the Youtube app and turning on Bocelli)

Maternal

K-bao is discovering her maternal instincts, thanks to the cute Baby Sam. Here she is helping Sam, who hails from the Liu clan, take a few steps towards the flamingoes at the Brooklyn Zoo. You can see that K-bao looks quite a bit more pleased than Sam, who is either perplexed about this older woman taking an interest in him or worried about the state of the financial markets, or both.

B-ball

Here is K-bao wistfully watching Cousin Justin warming up for his LA league game and wishing she could don a uniform herself.
