Asahi baby


You know something is wrong when there is a toddler in the house and the house is quiet!
Miles was quietly and happily experimenting with the big Asahi beer can from the fridge (somehow, he manages to sneak something out of it each time I or the helper open it). This is what I found Miles doing today...don't be alert, it's not an open can.
A few more years before you find out what's inside, Miles!

Do I look like a little Mexican in the first picture? Yes, that's my new hat from Japan. First, I refused to wear it but after seeing myself in the mirror, I thought "hey, I look pretty cool!", then I kept it on me for a very long time. I also have this new table at home just for me. It comes with 2 chairs so that if I have pals over, they can sit down and eat and draw with me too. My Monday night dinner buddy here, Ethan, was over last night. He started walking yesterday--now he can run around amok with me!

Daddy & Mommy's on holiday

Mommy & Daddy went to Japan for a holiday with Granma & Granpa over the weekend, leaving me at home. This is me still smiling just before their departure, obviously having no clue they were making an escape from me for 4 whole days! I even escorted them down to the taxi, knowing diddly about where they were heading with those big suitcases! Thankfully, they are now back safe and sound, and in consolation for leaving me in HK, they brought back all sorts of colourful, loud, hip clothing from Fukuoka for me. I will model them for you once I put them on!

My summer swimming party


Normally our pool has cold water but the scorching heat outside warmed our pool. I had my regular Monday playgroup buddies with me, one of them, Ethan, is photographed here with me. His mommy, Annie, is the one holding me. I am very comfortable in the water now since Daddy takes me in every chance he gets but I still drink the pool water because I still do not know how to spit out the water yet. A little chlorine won't kill me, I'm sure....

Musical Miles

Lately, I've been feeling this music bone in me much more and each time I hear music, I automatically groove, sway, clap and sing along. In this picture here, I am holding my songbook and singing my heart out.
In case you're wondering what I am wearing--it is my Gandhi look created by mommy with my old thin cotton baby wrap. It's perfect for hot, muggy weather in HK!

My first day at school!


Today was my very first day attending Casa dei Bambini Montessori playgroup. I was all ready to go with my knapsack, as you can see here.
It was overwhelming (for Mommy) because she learnt so many new things that she had not done before at home. The toys are not quite like the ones I have at home. I get to pour, sort, open and close little drawers, and lots of other activities to train my hands to be quick and nimble.
I was pleased to find miniature water glass at my disposal at snacktime because it fits so well in my mini hands. Welcome to my world of little people! It's going to be a wonderful summer!
