Kayla: I have a surprise for you, Mommy
Mommy: What is it, Kayla?
Kayla: I can't tell you right now
Mommy: Please? Can I have a clue?
Kayla: No, you need to be patient
Mommy: I can't be patient, I need to know right now!
Kayla: That's too bad, Mommy
Mommy: ....*stunned*...
Here is K-bao "reading" one of her favorite stories, Wombat Walkabout, a story from Down Under about six little wombats and their adventures battling a crafty dingo. After a shy start, she gets to her favorite part with enthusiasm at 0:57:
"Two little wombats, Jen and Jack,
Thought it awfully quiet, so they looked back.
'No little wombats? That's not good!'
So they jumped off the track and into the wood" (demonstrated by jumping off the bed)
(...the two wombats scheme to save their friends....then at 1:36 she gets to another delicious part where little Jen successfully deceives the dingo:)
"'I'm a poor little wombat, all alone,
Lost in the wood, so far from home!'"
Uncle Calvin was here for his 25th birthday a few nights ago. K-bao was delighted to help celebrate it with him, not only because he's one of her faves, but also because it meant both staying up past her bedtime and lots of cake. Here she is enthusiastically joining in on both the Chinese and English versions of Happy Birthday.
