"In a gwass".
Oh the joy of bubbles!
Even more joy from marshmallow bunnies!
Eric has emptied our RV so that we can clean, repair and start again. Serious RV spring cleaning. Jia found some bubbles in the camping gear and she wanted to play with them, of course she had no idea what they were. We went to our front yard to play with them as there was still sun out front and she was just beyond delighted with bubbles. Lili and Fei soon joined in and took the bubbles from me and kept Jia entertained for quite some time. Very cute. Then the Auntie from the front yard joined us and gave her a marshmallow bunnie, sadly the bubbles quickly lost their appeal, the mouthful of sugar became much more interesting. Ya, we still have family living in our front yard. We thought it would be for a couple maybe even a few weeks, but it's been three and half months. We're starting to think they're never leaving. The front yard is just embarrassing these days. Way too much going on out there. I'm hoping everything and everyone clears out soon. I'd sure like our normal life back, and while I'm wishing, I'd sure like it if the Nelsons could be done with all the sickness!
Jia's words are coming fast and furious. Some of it is just so surprising. She's calling me Daddee now, seems completely unaware that she used to call me Mama. She is calling Fei, Pay. Lili has become 'guys'. The other day she wanted milk and when Lili got up to get her a bottle, she stopped whining and said 'in a gwass?'. So, we gave her a Strawberry Shortcake glass and darned if she didn't drink it all without spilling. At lunch time however she dumped her water purposefully on the floor so she's back to sippy's and bottles for now. She routinely says things like 'Jia go home', 'play toys now', 'see girls', and 'night night time now'. When Isabel comes in the house she holds her pointer finger in the air and yells 'DOWN' and Isabel promptly lays down! I can't get Isabel to walk further than the driveway on a leash or sit or go down or well, just about anything, but Jia, she's got that dog responding immediately. Does that mean I'm the lowest member in the pack?!
Jia is such an easy going kid. She loves, loves, loves her sisters and then is just fine when they leave for school or leave the room. I keep waiting for her to say 'hey, get back here and play with me'. Lili plays hide and seek with her, Jia's favorite spot to hide, behind the glass paned door in the living room :) The girls came to Jia's music class on Saturday and although Jia does pretty good in there at doing things, when the girls were there, she did everything. Total show off for her sisters. I thought that was pretty funny.
Our first camping trip of the year is the Easter weekend. I have no idea how or when we'll be getting the RV repacked and ready to go. Lili is the only one excited about going. The idea of camping with Isabel and Jia is just overwhelming every time I think about it.
