Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder

Kaitlyn was sitting on the potty. It’s poopy time.

“Oooh, stinky!” said Melanie.

Kaitlyn replied, “It’s not stinky, it’s beautiful!”

Another Snow Storm

Another big snow storm = another snow day (school’s canceled) = another long weekend. And so here’s what we did to celebrate for & kick off the weekend.

Kaitlyn turned 3

Ether — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 18:27:34 +0000

Well, Kaitlyn’s 3 already. This year we had a smaller crowd (partly due to the snow storm) but we had just as much fun as the years before.

That means I don’t want to clean up

Dinner was almost ready. We had already told Kaitlyn that she needed to clean up all her toys in the living room before she can eat. Instead of cleaning up, she went into her room & started playing there.

“Why are all your toys still out on the floor here?” asked Melanie, while getting Kaitlyn’s bowl of food ready in the Kitchen.

Unfazed & with no hesitation, Kaitlyn replied, “Whatever.”

An hour or so before, I put her in timeout because of something she said.

When she said “whatever,” I happened to be in the room.

I guess I can still laugh about it because she is only turning 3 & not 13.

I’m an orange, what are you?

It was bedtime.

I tucked her in & then said, “Good night, sweety pie.”
“Good night, Da…,” she paused, then started smiling & said, “Good night, orange!”

Witch

Mel — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 15:41:23 +0000

Kaitlyn and I were looking at a book in the bathroom while she was on the potty. The book had some famous cartoon characters in the back cover. I was asking K who each character was (in Chinese).

Mel: Who’s this? (Ni個係邊個呀？／Ni gaw hai been gaw ah?)
Kaitlyn: A witch (巫婆). (pauses for 5 seconds) You are like the witch, mommy. (妳好似個「witch」噤樣呀。／Nay ho chi gaw ‘witch’ gum yeung ah Mommy.)

That was random. I guess that’s what she thinks of me. =/

Make Corn

Ether — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 14:56:16 +0000

Ether: Daddy needs to go to the bathroom.
Kaitlyn: To make corn?
Ether: Huh?
Kaitlyn: You’re going to make corn poopy?

Kaitlyn says…

原句：「爺爺，要唔要腳腳係ni度lay埋呀？」
翻譯：「爺爺，要不要我用毯子蓋著你的腳呵？」

-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-

Kaitlyn: 媽咪，要唔要食糖糖呀？
Melanie: 你係度做甚麼？
Kaitlyn: Kaitlyn胃食囉！

Kaitlyn saw a Uniqua doll on display inside a store. She wanted to tell us that she has one, too, so she exclaimed, “Daddy, 我有「左」啦！”

What she said: “Daddy, I have already!”
What she said means: “Daddy, I’m pregnant!”

-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-

Kaitlyn pooped in her diaper, so Melanie took her to the bathroom. Once the diaper came off & she saw the poop, she pointed at it, smiled at Mel and said to her, “Mommy, chick-o-cheep!”

This is what a typical “breaking news” on the death of a famous person is like on American television:

Two Saturdays ago, Kaitlyn was invited to her classmate Emma’s birthday party at the Build-A-Bear Workshop on 5th Avenue. Here are some photos taken on that day. Enjoy!
