How (much) do I love thee? This much! (1.54MB)

Laundry

Thursday, March 30th, 2006

There is fun to be had in everything… even doing the laundry!
I insist on going to the laundry room with mama or papa (4.71MB).
I help out where I can, or if not, I supervise the loading and unloading. I don’t know what they’d do without me!

Showering

Wednesday, March 29th, 2006

You know how I like to bathe. It’s not because I like to be clean, it’s just so much fun!
Once in a blue moon I get a bubble bath and that is even more fun. But I have discovered that I like to shower like mama or papa.
Normally papa will use my “hippo” shower head [...]

Operator?

Tuesday, March 28th, 2006

The day of the telephone operator is almost over. But if you call the Tan household, don’t be surprised if you hear from me first!
I love to pick up the phone. There is even a challenge as I have to get it before the answering machine kicks in!
I like bringing the phone over to mama [...]

Haiku

Snowballs in the spring
Big or small I do not care
Throw… splat… on the ground!
Watch it (3.25MB).

Rubbish

Sunday, March 26th, 2006

Here’s a chore that’s not a bore… I love taking out the trash (3.20MB)!
Papa will take a big bag while I will carry a smaller bag of rubbish. We bring them to the dumpster, and well, dump ‘em.
Don’t worry. Even though the dumpster is big and open, it does not smell… much! People here seal [...]

Numbers

Saturday, March 25th, 2006

I can count… or can I?
You’ve watched and heard me count coins. I also recognize numbers in books or signs or if you write them down. I can show you how many fingers each number represents. But my folks aren’t that convinced.
They say I have just memorized the numbers, what they look like, and how [...]

Lullaby

Saturday, March 25th, 2006

You already know that mama reads me bedtime stories. Two books of my choice, that’s the policy. But what a nice way to end the day!
Not too long ago, I decided that I should return the favor. So I sometimes sing before I sleep. At least I try to.
I go through my repertoire of twinkly [...]

Priorities!

Thursday, March 23rd, 2006

Papa is getting forgetful! He didn’t share something of me with you on my behalf. He forgot to post a photo of me playing with a wagon!
Where are his priorities?! They should be with me-me-me, not with his dessert-thingy or attending meetings or teaching online or grading work. Everything I do should be savored and [...]

Man!

Wednesday, March 22nd, 2006

OK, no prizes for guessing that I did not get to build my snow man. The snow just wasn’t wet enough!
Fortunately, I did manage to play in the snow with my shovel, cups, and bucket. I loved bish-bish-bishing down the snow walls and bucket castles that mama and papa made.
My folks tell me that [...]
