Cold Sunday - how to have fun?

I was telling Antoine that Selina yiyi is probably the only one in the world (after Ming Ming's parents) that would understand all the conversations in MM's videos. But apparently baby language is more difficult to understand (still remember that when Oscar sang "twinkle twinkle little star" to me in the phone, I thought he was singing in Korean!). Ming Ming was not saying "cooking" or "coca", she said "coquine" and "coquin" (naughty in French), and she was trying to distinguish between the masculine and feminine form - "maman coquine" and "papa coquin". This is one of her favorite words now (after "no" and "encore"), she would do sth funny and then say "Ming Ming coquine". She also likes to say "c'est bon" when she really appreciates sth. She is particularly expressive in mealtime, she says "Ming Ming er er /餓餓" (hungry), "Ming Ming bao/飽" (full), "hummmm", "c'est bon", "pour ming ming" (for MM).... And, she woud mix two languages in the same sentences, such as "nai nai/奶奶 encore", "nai nai/奶奶 all gone".

After a week in daycare, her English words is coming alone: happy, okay, truck. hummm, actually I can't think of any other words, maybe she isn't making so much progress in English.

shaking hands with a steadfast friend who does not mind the cold...
out-running papa in a race...
banging on a window to see the tv
eating delicious hot pizza..

and then hot chocolate wtih wipe cream in mama's usual hangout - Mudhouse.
last but no least, a hair-cut by mama while I slept on papa's chest... [she looks like a mushroom from behind]

Bon, c'est bien la stereotype depuis 1.5an... maman cooking et papa coca!

c'est pas bon, ce sont de Junk Food, le coca et le pizza!! :-)

Elle a l'air une teletubbie avec ce manteaux et le cap!

Encore une derniere commentaire, sa pronuciation en anglais est bien plus nette que en mandarin! "Boy", "Happy", "Cooking", "bye bye", etc. Il est vrai que la langue chinoise est difficile... Bon courage, Sacre Ming Ming!

Gross Bisous a vous 3!
