Mid Autumn Moon Festival

The moon just starting to rise.

Lili asked to read the story this year.

Jia is helping Lili with light to read by.

 

 We had our walk at Crofton with a few more families than usual.  Fun evening.  The weather was fabulous, the moon was bright orange and sooo clear.  We were all at the perfect spot for viewing and we watched it rise over Saltspring.  Our thoughts were with Luk and we all had a turn carrying his lantern.

On Saturday we went to the Victoria dinner, no moon gazing and we didn't join the short walk across the street to the park but moved our car instead.  Jia had a blast at the park playing with Kalum and Dagen.  Mostly Kalum but she really likes to play with Dagen too.  She is enjoying playing with the boys in preschool too so we see that as a possible good sign that she might adapt to having a brother.  Fingers crossed.  She certainly isn't going to be happy when she realizes she's sharing Mom and Dad.

We're still working on getting her sleeping mostly in her bed.  Right now, she goes up with me to my bed and Eric moves her.  She tells us she wakes up in her room by magic.  She told me the other morning 'Mom, I just appeared in my bed'.

Sunday morning
Jia - MOOMM!?
Me - ya'
Jia - you in your bed?
Me - yes
Jia - you cuddling with Dad?
Me - yes
Jia - groan, sigh, ugh
Me - you can come and cuddle with us
Jia - NO THANKS, I'll cuddle with Fei
Jia - stomp, groan, stomp, Fei?  you cuddle Jia?
Fei - um huh

And that's how it's going getting Jia into her own bed.
