BBW

K-Pop's had a few days off this week and has been taking K-bao to some old haunts.

Here are a few shots from the famed "Spooky Hill" and the Presidio's Inspiration Point where K-bao still remembers spotting a dead rat and the subsequent long conversation about the Circle of Life.

This time however she was more concerned with peering behind every tree to find the Big Bad Wolf (BBW), and collecting lots of big sticks so as to fend off the wild beast when he inevitably appeared. When it turned out he was too slow in coming, guess who had to make an appearance as Mr. BBW and suffer a lot of dry wood (and insults) flung his way?

Genius

K-bao: "C-bao, what's 1 + 1?"
C-bao: "10"
K-bao......"C-bao, what's 5 + 5?"
C-bao: "10"
K-bao: "Daddy! Did you hear that? Nobody taught her! She's so smart! Wow!"

Queen of the World

While not yet exposed to James Cameron's Titanic (and hopefully a long ways off from being exposed), young K-bao has one or two things in common with mischievous and adventure-seeking Jack Dawson.

A few months back K-bao figured out how to climb on top of a nearby playground structure. The structure clearly wasn't built for climbing and the maneuver required some precarious balancing. Of course, as soon as she made it up there, she spent the rest of the afternoon shouting self-aggrandizing things from her elevated perch.

She now regularly frightens grownups and children alike by scampering up and down the roof whenever she spends time at the park. Occasionally she inspires some followers, as she did below.

Frozen with Friends

K-bao visited her friends Aidan and Zoe a couple of weeks ago and also saw old pals Sam and Emily.

The children quickly discovered a common bond in, what else, Frozen, the DVD of which A&Z had just purchased the week before. After much cajoling of the respective parents, they were permitted to watch some of the movie together.

Naturally it quickly became a rambunctious sing-along session, with K-bao leading the pack. Here she and Zoe belt out Let It Go with enthusiasm, while C-bao looks on and Sam appears perplexed by all the excitement.

Art

Now this, my friends, is a piece of art: K-bao's first independently completed pigtails. Sister C-bao is the beneficiary.

Time

This is young K-bao with an even younger C-bao at her side. 

The below is K-bao when she was C-bao's current age. This was taken in the fall of 2010, when K-bao was about 20 months.

Dandelion Malfunction

"Here C-bao, blow on this dandelion."

"O no! Don't eat it!"

"Oops! Sorry Daddy!"
