Girls Be Ambitious


Here is K-bao scaling the climbing structure at a local park last weekend. If there's one thing our girl has, it's "a fire burning in my bones" (in the words of one of her favorite musicians, Rachel Platten, in her hit Fight Song) to seek out thrills and challenges.

Karaoke & Other Treats

While at her good friends the Liu's the other day, K-bao got her first taste of karaoke.

Apparently it was a pretty sweet taste, because K-bao had a hard time letting go of the mic. Here she sings Sugar by Maroon5 (also by The Lighters, by the way).



The rest of the day was pretty fun too. K-bao got to go to the park...

The kiddos all had some wheels
...hit the swings...

"Higher! I said, 'Higher!'"
...climb trees (which K-Pop was very directly told he was not welcome to)...

"No boys allowed, Daddy. You can't come up here."
...enjoy great food, including some fantastic cake (there was even some birthday singing and belated celebration of January birthdays, including K-bao's, so she got to blow out yet another candle)...


...and overall have lots of fun with her buddies DL, NL, EL, SL and EL2!

Cool Biking

Now that K-bao has learned to bike, her latest hobby is zipping along the Golden Gate Park bike lane (veering recklessly, one might add), with sister C-bao scootering behind her, and K-Pop huffing and puffing on foot in third place, trying to keep up.

Uno Madness

K-bao has earned a few dollars recently, via a generous Tooth Fairy, a variety of chores and some memorized scripture. One of her first investments was in her Aunt Christina's charity run, to which she committed $2 (and, to her credit, would have given virtually her entire savings before her Aunt scaled her back).

The other major purchase - costing her $5, the majority of her bank account - was in a pack of Uno cards. Yes, that's right. A blast from K-Pop and K-Mum's (mostly K-Mum's) past. And since that fateful day, the family has whiled away many a long hour strategizing on skips and reverses, throwing down Wild cards, and dropping the dreaded +4 grenade. As the K-folks have learned, no Uno session is complete until K-bao asks "Can we play one more game?" and is turned down at least four or five times.

Uncle Chris, Aunt Lynn, and visiting out-of-towner Uncle Dave each got a taste of the Uno craze this past weekend, when all were roped into a marathon session with K-bao at Golden Gate Park. Forty minutes and multiple deck re-uses later, an exhausted Uncle Dave finally emerged victorious from the single game. K-bao's first response? "Just one more game? Great, I'll shuffle."

Poetry in the Park

Inspired by the numerous grassroots programs around the country promoting recreational poetry, K-bao rattled off her own interpretation of several old Tang Shi pieces while enjoying the fine weather at her neighborhood park. Unclear whether marching round and round little C-bao was meant to be her way of encircling her sister with affectionate rhythms, or an effort to establish literary dominance over her 1-year-old sibling.

Buddies

Several months ago K-bao made a friend at the park she frequents. The two found common interests in hide and seek, acting silly and "picking beans" (which turned out to be hunting and gathering a variety of plant species in the park - several of which are now endangered thanks to their over-zealous hunt & gather sessions). K-bao now clammers to go to the park every day to meet her buddy Fiona, whom she is pictured with below.


#TimeFlies

January 1, 2021! How time flies. K-bao's growth from a spunky little kid to a rambunctious tween is one of the most tangible markers of ...
