Pears

K-bao picked a pair of pears at Grandpa's and Grandma's home today. Obedient as ever, she stopped at two, per K-Mum's instructions.

Beads

K-bao has gotten into bead jewelry recently. Here she models a few trinklets that she made with the help of Xiao A-Yi (Aunty Christina).

Maturity

Yesterday K-Mum showed K-bao a band-aid covering an "owee" on her arm. As K-Mum winced and peeled off the band-aid, little K-bao burst into tears, apparently feeling the pain of her mother's wound.

Tonight while taking a bath, K-bao deliberately ignored specific instructions by taking a sip of bathwater (giving K-Pop a Genesis 3 shiver). Instead of angrily declaring a post-bath time-out as K-Pop normally would have done, K-Pop simply looked into K-bao's eyes sternly and said, "I'm really disappointed in you, K-bao. You deliberately disobeyed me. This bathwater could make you sick." The bath resumed in silence. The little one was quiet for a few minutes. Then she grabbed hold of K-Pop's hands, looked up earnestly and said, "Daddy, I'm really sorry. I won't do it again." And she held his gaze until K-Pop relented and gave her a peck.

Compassion and contrition in our 2-year-old. New breakthroughs in little K-bao's character. 

Ladybug Song

Here is K-bao at her first school musical. You can hear the Ladybug's voice bursting out at the end of the first refrain, demanding to be heard.

Tug-of-war

Here is K-bao rather nonchalantly participating in her first tug-of-war, at an outdoor school event. Somehow the competitive juices didn't kick in for this one. Not sure if she helped or hurt the cause, to be honest.
