10/25/09 Julia's "Duck in Water"

10/26/09 - Good Finder - Not A Finder

Today as I was driving Julia to school, she said she wanted to play a game on the computer with Pumpkins. Okay I said, after Mommy picks you up from school and you have lunch, remember to ask Mommy to find you a game on the computer with pumpkins. Julia replies "But Mommy is not a finder. Daddy, you are a good finder!"

October 21, 2009 When J is too tired...

From Meme's FB post today, a rainy day in Tulsa - you know when J needs a nap when she whines "I want a RAINBOW and you won't give me one!" as Julia points to the ceiling/sky!

October 2009 - Favorite Activities

Julia still loves music, singing, dancing, creating art, and playing on the computer - but a couple new things she's been into is running between the rooms on the 2nd floor of our current home on Oxford Place and she's into more into role play/pretend - ie. from Backyardigans - I was Pablo and Julia was Uniqua, from Wonder Pets - I was hamster, meme was duckling and Julia was the turtle and from her latest favorite - Boowa and Kwala!

Sept/Oct 2009 - Mmmm, steak!

Okay, Julia use to call all meat "chicken" and she hates having anything stuck between her teeth. She eats chicken, fish and some pork (Chinese BBQ pork or Grandpa Moy's famous ribs) but not really beef...until Grandma Ping Sou cooked steak and Julia started eating steak (cut into toddler bite size pieces of course). In fact we just had some t-bone steak on Monday, Oct 19th. More steak please - it's yummy!!!

October 14, 2009 - JULIA spells and writes her names all by herself!

October 20, 2009 "Is Daddy back from the kitchen yet?"

We are all adjusting to our family's new schedule with Julia going to Undercroft Montessori M-F from 8-11:30am. So shortly after dinner Meme brings Julia up to get ready for bed around 8pm and Daddy cleans the kitchen, clears the dining table, takes out the garbage, etc. Well, last night Julia was a bit overly tired and just wanted to brush her hair in front of the mirror and not get into her princess bed, so Meme called me up to talk to our daughter. I spoke with Julia and reiterated what Mommy had said - it's time for bed, you need your rest for school, Mommy will hold your hand to sleep, Daddy needs to finish cleaning the kitchen, etc and then I'll be up to bed in a bit. Okay, Julia laid down in her princess bed and fell asleep within 3 minutes. Meme and I got to watch some TV on DVR after I was done in the kitchen and we went to bed around 11:30pm. Julia woke up "for a sip of water" around 1:30am and clearly asked "Is Daddy back from the kitchen yet?" We can't get away with anything with our 3 year old!! LOL!!!
