GIVING BIRTH

16 September 2011, Friday

I was at the market this morning with my girls.
Lady at market:  "兩個女兒?"  (Two girls?)
Me: "是的"  (Yes.)
Lady:  "生多一個. 兩個這樣少."  (Have another one.  Two too little.)
Me:  "兩個夠了."  (Two is enough.)

I then smiled and walked away.
Min:  "生 baby 很痛的.  Have to cut stomach."  (Giving birth is painful.  Have to cut the stomach).

... showing her 2 little fingers as the scissors 'cutting' her little tummy!

Love her, my little 4yo!

It's Mid Autumn Festival... the kids had fun playing with lanterns and candles lighting.  They had an enjoyable time at a friend's house yesterday night too.

TEDDY'S LAZY EYE

18 August 2011, Thursday
I was putting my girls' soft toys to the washing machine when I found this poor teddy...

Both of my girls have a lazy eye, on their right eye.  They have to patch their right eye for at least 1-2 hours every day.  So, I guessed they must have patched poor teddy and forgot to take the patch off.  :-)
