Love Poem

A couple of days ago, in a moment of affection, K-bao was inspired to pen a spontaneous verse for sister C-bao.

She uses quite sweeping language in her description of her 4-year old sister: wise, generous, kind.


Of course, a few minutes later, all the inspiration was quickly forgotten and the sisters went back to their normal, um, less loving routine. 

Home Math Academy

On Saturday mornings, K-Pop has established a routine consisting of:

1. Hearty breakfast, normally a combination of eggs, oatmeal with chocolate chips, fruit, yogurt and sometimes cereal (though any cereal in the diet invariably elicits protests from K-Mum when she appears later in the morning). 
2. One to two sheets of math
3. Two sheets of Chinese
4. Piano for K-bao (with ABCMouse, an educational app, for C-bao)
5. Free play

Both girls have made good progress with their math. C-bao has only recently started her worksheets and is currently on basic addition and subtraction up to 30. K-bao can now do double digit multiplication, basic division, and very simple algebra. Here are a few recent problem sets that K-bao tackled. 

Birthday gal

A few weeks ago K-bao celebrated her 8th birthday. Xiao Ah-yi and Jiu-Jiu joined her on the special day along with the rest of her family.

As usual, K-bao asked to go to her favorite Japanese restaurant, where she gobbled up numerous orders of unagi.

Afterwards, she enjoyed fruit and cake, while wearing a self-made birthday crown.

Uncle Calvin had also given her a Dubs shirt, which she sported proudly.

By the way, for the record, this evening was only the first of quite a few "birthday treats" that K-bao enjoyed over the course of the week. The celebration went on for a bit, which seemed perfectly fine for our little.
