When I was washing in the bathroom in the morning, I overheard the conversation betweem daughter and her mom. It amused me when she said: "I feel as if I don't know myself." The means of that became clear later in the conversion when she said something like: "I feel I only know myself as the honey pot."

“水是没有颜色的！”So did she kept repeating when she's on the toilet.

Daughter is having a 102+ degree fever since this morning. She's able to get up in the late morning. Sitting in the couch, she complained of neck pain. It turned out to be an enlarged lymph node in the back side of the neck, just above the shoulder.

Mommy said that uncle noticed that a long time ago but my daughter's doctor said it's OK.

"吴医生[Doctor Wu]说没关系。" daughter seemed to be relieved hearing that.

Guess I just have to follow it up in a few weeks!

As we were crossing a big parking lot after a concert, my daughter made her comment: "I have no dea where the car is."

"Did you go somewhere today?"
"I went to the zoo."
"What did you see?"
"Monkey and elephant."
"What else?"
"Tiger and eh snake."
"And what else?"
"Bird and ... bird!"
"How about bird and bear."
"OK, bird and bear."

We've been trying hard to teach our daughter math lately. She managed to learn 2+3. But when she's asked to do 4+2, she's reluctant to give an answer and opts to "you tell me." at the question. When pressed, she'd take out her hands and start counting in fingers.

The other day, I was making her rinsing her mouth after helped her brushing her tooth. She counted to four time when she want to stop.

"Two more!", I command her.
"No, not six time!" She exclaimed.

Both my wife and me are surprised, and delighted too. She does have the concept of numbers.

So when I got another chance today, I decided to test again today when .... I asked her how many more would it take to make [a seven] to nine. "Two!" she answered promptly and confidently. "So how much is seven plus two?" "Two?" it seems she's still in a one way street.

As she started to play the quiz game, I squeezed in a question: "How much is five plus two?"
"..."
"How about five plus how much is seven?"
"Two!"
"So how much is five plus two?"
"Seven..."

"I'll put on my spring shoes."
"Good choice!"
"'Good choice' means 'Good pig', right?"
"Yes, you're right!"
"But I'm not a pig, am I?"
...

"Good idea!"
"Good Youdea!"
"What is good idea?"

Mom was making dumping. Daughter was helping by rolling doughs.

And she says: "我先yo-yo过了再给你!"

English: Good at using "I" and practicing in using "You".

Math: Two plus two is twenty-two.
