Taiwan 2017

This summer K-bao made her third summer trip to Taipei to visit K-Grandpop, K-Grandmum and her other beloved relatives.

Indeed, as it was both her grandparents' 70th birthday and Father's Day in Taiwan, the entire extended family made it out from various cities around the world for a full reunion.


K-bao and her sister C-bao don't get a lot of time with their cousins and aunts and uncles on K-Pop's side, so it is always a blast for them to hang out.



Whether it be burying themselves in card games (Uno, The Big 2 which they both learned to play on this trip and absolutely love), huddling together over a table to watch the Netflix show Horseland, or just plain goofing around, whenever the cousins or Shu-Shu or Xiao Goo-Goo (and Uncle Zech) were around, it was a quick goodbye to K-Pop and K-Mum and the girls would be off.




Needless to say, K-bao also enjoyed plenty of great Taiwanese food -- beef noodle soup, red bean paste buns, black sesame desserts, ice soy bean milk and tea eggs. 



 K-bao had many other adventures in Asia this past August -- more posts to come!

Grace


Today the girls, while sitting side by side in a Costco shopping cart, got into a scrape, as sisters are wont to do. In the midst of it, however, young C-bao expressed her frustration in a highly unacceptable manner, and K-Pop was forced to intervene.

Pulling C-bao off the cart and after giving her a very stern talking to, K-Pop promised severe consequences for our 3-year-old after we returned home. C-bao walked meekly and sadly beside K-Pop as we came back to the cart.

That's when K-bao sprang into action. Though she was technically the victim in the altercation, she asked to come off the cart so she could comfort her little sister, who burst into tears as she ran into her older sister's arms.

Later, when we arrived home, K-bao intervened on behalf of her sister. "Please Daddy," she asked. "Can you not punish C-bao?"

This demonstration of grace and good sisterhood could not go ignored, so K-Pop took it easy on the little one, making sure to attribute his leniency to K-bao's advocacy. What started as an unfortunate conflict ended as an incredible relationship builder.

Later, when K-bao was getting ready for her shower, K-Pop observed little C-bao run into the bathroom to shout, "K-bao, I love you!" out of sheer gratitude.

To Our Nieces


K-bao and C-bao's talented Aunt and Uncle (Shu-Shu and Xiao Goo-Goo) penned, sang and recorded a brief piece of music for their 4 nieces, including K-bao, one recent afternoon in Taipei. The song contains a number of worthy messages for our little one.


Lyrics:
寶貝妳要做個乖小孩
Watch the tone when you are asking why
做個討神喜悅乖女孩
Our love will always be with you
永不分開
寶貝乖乖跌倒不用怕
It hurts a bit but you will grow a lot
別因妳可愛就不用聽話
Learn to love and trust in God
Your life will be
Right where it should be
記得永遠守護妳的心
