Where Is Your Tummy?

Ashley has been learning about her body features. Last night, while I was reading her books, the book mentions about mouth, ears and hands. So I decided to quiz Ashley a bit.

"Where is your zui ba (mouth)?"
Ashley pointed to her mouth, and said, "ba, ba, ba..."
"Good job!"

"Where are your er duo (ears)?
Ashley grabbed one of her ears, and I said "great!", then she switched her hands to the other ear.
"That's right! You got two ears! Smart girl!"

"So, where is your bi zi (nose)?
Ashley looked at me a bit confused, hesitated a bit, and pointed to her nose.
"YEAH! That's right! That's your bi zi!"
"bi, bi, bi..." Ashley repeated in excitement.

"Where are your yan jing (eyes)?"
Ashley closed one of her eyes and pointed to it.
"YEEAAH! " I started clapping, and Ashley was so happy and she started jumping up and down.

So I decided to ask her something I haven't taught her.
"Ashley, where is your Du Zi (Tummy)?"
Ashley looked at me very confused and probably was thinking, "What is Du Zi? " But for some reason, she squatted down, and pointed to her butt, "Du, du..."
"Hahahaa, Ashley, that's not your Du Zi, that's your Pi Gu!"

Aaaaarrrrrdooo

Ashley is at the age where she loves to imitate anything we do and anything we say. She is like a little copy machine that surprises and cracks us all the time.

When I came home this evening, the power just went out. I was busy looking for candles, but for some reasons I couldn't light up those candles using a BBQ lighter. Daddy was sleeping in the bedroom, and I said "Andrew, can you come and help me?" No answer. So I raised my voice, "AAAAANNDREEEEW...." At that moment, Ashley screamed, "Aaaaarrrrdooooo....." The nanny and I looked at each other, and burst out laughing.

Well, Daddy, don't be surprised that one day your daughter calls you, "Andrew, come over!"

Tiusse 4-Way

What's "tissue 4-way"? Well, it's like fish 2-way or duck 3-way you might have seen in the restaurant. That's right, Ashley can play with a tissue in 4 different ways!

The other night, Ashley pulled a tissue off her changing table, squatted down on the floor, and pretended to wipe her butt! Hahaha, she saw that we use tissue to wipe her butt all the time and she knows you can use a tissue to wipe your butt!

Afterwards, she ran over to the TV stand, and started wiping and cleaning the TV stand with the same tissue. She looked at me and pointed to the TV stand, "%^*&#)@*)%^@%". That's right Ashley, please make sure you clean the dirt off the TV stand. You're such a good cleaner!

After she was done with her cleaning, she used the same tissue again to wipe her mouth. Well, Ashley, yeah we use the tissue to wipe our mouth, but using the same tissue after you wiped your butt and the TV stand, it's a bit disgusting though.

Last but not the least, you think she's done with that tissue? Noooo. Ashley knows to utilize her resource to the very last bit. She decided to tear the tissue into small pieces on the coffee table, and started giggling out loud.

Well, Mommy doesn't quite understand what's so funny, but I'm glad Ashley can entertain herself so well with a single tissue. Maybe we don't need to buy her any more toys??!! :-)
