Charlotte got up in the morning and shouted “爸爸飞走了daddy flew away” and pretending she was crying and hurried to get off bed. Momny told her daddy is home, outside cooking and she went look him around. Charlotte loved daddy so much that she wouldnt want him to go to work on Friday when she woke up while daddy was leaving for work. She just wanted daddy to hold her and be with her.

She would say “xx 飞走了 (flew away) ” if something is missing or someone is gone. She has been saying this expression since mommy told her 奶奶坐飞机飞走了 grandma took the plane and flew away.

Charlotte was so excited about the first snow this year and had her boots and walking on the snow. Mommy made a snowman with her and she was so happy being in the snow. Mommy’s back got twisted though that I could barely walk today. But then we still made it to the church and waigong waipo’s house, maybe wasn’t the best idea.

China Auntie said Kasia looked just like cousin Yingying when she was little. Waipo said she always thought Kasia looked like someone but she couldn’t think of who, and now that auntie said it’s cousin Yingying, everyone agareed that Kasia and Yingying do look alike.

Charlotte night be ready to potty train. She likes playing with the toilet and put her seat on it. When she pees she would tell mommy “Charlott 拉臭臭”， she will also hop on the changing table herself and lay there waiting for mommy. Today she got up on it by herself again didn’t want mommy to help her get on. She sneaks the snacks a lot and knows where to them. She would eat the snacks while mommy don’t see her. But if I see her eating she would spit out what’s in her mouth and gives all the snacks to mommy. Last week she was trying to eat the chocolate in the drawer, daddy told her mommy is coming with a hurry sound. She put the piece back to the box and closed the drawer. she was so cute. Charlotte started not wanting to lay down and let mommy brush her last week. She would only want to brush herself, eat up all the paste.

Kasia is able to stand on couch for quite a few seconds. She can easily roll herself over now and has fell off from the couch or her bed to the floor. Even while she’s being changed, she wants to roll over and makes hard for us to get her diaper on. Every time Kasia poops, her poops leaks out.if there are 3 poop sounds , it will be leaked out, her clothes would need to be hand washed otherwise the stain stays.

We went to Saigon market the other day. There was a black lady saw Kasia and mommy said, ” she looks just like mommy”, but then when the lady saw daddy, she said” No , I think she looks more like daddy”. Many people say Kasia is more like daddy, some people say looks like Grandpa too.

Charlotte is speaking so much more that when mommy says something, she would repeat it, literay almost everything I say to her. She recently has been saying ” xx 坏了，咋办”,something not working, what shall I do. When she says 咋办， it sounds like 吃饭 eat, in Taiwanese. The moon had been bright and big and we were able to see it during the day. She would say 月亮 every time she saw it, and it sounded like 尿尿 pee. It’s so cute hearing her saying different words and her accents are cute. Charlotte beast naughty today , didn’t eat regular meals and wanted to eat candies. Mommy was mad and said to spank her. When she heard mommy saying 打屁股， she pranks herself while saying打屁股. Kasia was so attached to mommy today that when she didn’t see mommy she was OK. But when she saw mommy walked by she would be so excited and jumping and smiling. When mommy walked away she started crying. Kasia just wants to be held as much as she can have. She loves mommy so much.

When Charlotte sees Kasia sleeping , she would say ” mommy mommy, 妹妹睡觉meimei sleeping，shhh”, but she says it so loud that sometimes she wakes up Kasia.

Charlotte asks for a snack especially the animal crackers. When she asks and mommy gives to her, she always says “妈咪，一个就没了 mommy, just one then no more”. Because mommy always tells her only one, then she cannot ask for more, she always remembers it though she would keep asking more and say the same words at times. She’s so cute and says them so loud and seriously. Mommy would give her one piece and put the snacks aside that she can still see. She would just keep pointing to the snack box and saying 妈咪妈咪一个没了，she would also play with the container too.

Charlotte just wanted to ear plain rice or plain noodles. Mommy mixed some rib juicy stuff on the rice for her lunch and was too much , so I added more rice. Charlotte pointed to the white rice that had not been. Touched by the juice. If I spooned other part she wouldnt eat. She ate only the noodles and shrimp for dinner, not the veggies.

Kasia got strong legs that when she lays on bed and mommy tries to pull her up to sit, she just stands up when I pull. She’s lovable, whenever she wakes up and sees mommy she smiles so big, even when it’s dark during the night. She’s such a happy girl that melts mommy’s heart.
