Water Fun
Katy is getting more like a little girl. She is at the height of the "Terrible Twos". Just a few months ago, she would look sorry when she spilled something and then try to clean up. Now she acts defensive and screams at us when she spills.
The other day, she was mad at her mommy for some reason. Well, her mommy made something yummy and was carrying it across the room. Since she was mad at her mommy, she sat very still, refused to look at her mommy, but watched her very closely from the corner of her eye. You certainly don't want to miss yummy food even when you are mad at someone. This watching from the corner of her eye thing has been going on for a few weeks. She does it occasionally when she wants to pretend she is not interested in us.
And her language development is reaching a new stage. She understands Chinese fine, but she would respond in English. When her mom told her in Chinese to put on shoes to go out for a walk, she ran over to her shoes and said, "shoesh." There are few words she says in Chinese exclusively, like cat, bath, and cute. I think these just might be the only Chinese words she says. I guess as long as she understands it, she might still be able to master it someday.
Our baby lies too. There are times when we notice her diaper is not fresh and we would ask, "Did you poop?" She would say no and expect us to leave her alone. It is quite a change since she was very little. When she was very little, she didn't like her diaper soiled. But now, she just wants to play and not be bothered by diaper change. Of course there are times when she is telling the truth.
Finally, a big point that proves she is a little girl: she loves new shoes (or sandals). She likes some new clothes too, but she definitely loves new shoes.
