Original

I am always amazed with Casey's vocabulary. Although she can't explain the meaning of words, she often uses them in the right context. She loves reading different types of books and recognises quite a lot of words.

There was a bottle of Lucozade in the kitchen and she never came across it before. She asked me what that was and I told her. Then she pointed a word on the bottle and said "original". She was absolutely right. It was an original flavour of Lucozade. Mummy then asked her where she picked up the word from. Sadly, she couldn't tell me. However, mummy was still very impressed with her performance.

Mama's Birthday

08/11/09

We got a phone call from mama this morning. She and grandad just got back from HK. As soon as Casey had said hello to mama, she started singing "祝你生日快樂" to her. Her birthday was actually on the next day. We had been practising this little celebration song for a few days just to impress mama with Casey's new found chinese words. Despite it was sung one day too early, mama was happy to hear from Casey again.

Leah Estava's Birthday Party

It was Leah's 4th birthday today. All the children were dressed as pirates and fairies. Casey particularly liked her outfit as there came a pair of wings as well. She was also given a wand at the party and later started performing magic..... abracadabra.

The trip to London

We took Casey to London to meet up with Berta, David, baby Samuel, Wendy, Roger and Jessica. She was really excited as she had the chance to travel on the train again. For it was nearly two years ago since our last visit to the capital.






There were a lot of announcements at the stations and she kept repeating after them by starting with "Ladies and Gentlemen"... and of course "Mind the gap". It was funny to hear her saying it all the time. She admired London very much and kept telling us that we should come back soon. I supposed she was attracted to the busy life and the buzzing atmosphere in the capital.






We also managed to find some time to visit Regent's Park and my aunt in China Town.

Ten Pin Bowling


Mummy and daddy took Casey bowling today. Casey had played before but it was a long long time ago. She did quite well with the barricades up and managed to beat mummy.
