Happy Saturdays Out

Story time in the morning

Today, was the start of our long weekend. We have the coming Monday off, so I actually get two and a half days! Woohoo!

Margaret decided to celebrate the long weekend by showing off a new talent - kissing.

No, not some dirty boy, but Leonard the Bear, formerly known as Ubi2.

This morning, while I was at work, I got a call from Sarah explaining that Margaret had learned to kiss on command. When asked in Chinese to, "qing qing" or, "Kiss kiss," Margaret planted a smacker on Leonard's nose, complete with the little kissy noises.

Margaret then kissed her mother on the mouth shortly later when asked to.

Unfortunately, no matter how much coaxing we throw at her, she has yet to "qing qing" her Dad.

Ready to go out with Mom and Dad in the afternoon



Trying to put her hat back on

Aren't baby kisses the best??? Clara has also recently learned how to kiss on command (although she gives poh-pohs instead of qing qings)! :)

There is nothing more cozy than "storytime in the morning!" Great photo of M and S. I love the quiet breathing and attention as each page is turned. The most active child is still for ever so brief a moment.
Ah. you have so much to look forward to! Years of reading aloud.
