Sports

 My current favourite sport is cycling. Well, after jumping on the trampoline.  What makes cycling better is my new helmet, which Uncle S used to wear when he was just a small boy.  I'm too big for my old helmet, so I am sharing it with David.

Last weekend, we had a great day out at the beach. David and I were racing.  Unlike what you may think, I had difficulty keeping up with him.  When we stopped to rest, he would demand "Go!".  This made his pillion rider and I very, very tired.  But I tried my best.  My mummy says that it is important that I have tried my best.

When we're both exhausted from cycling, we dug on the beach.  I planted a tiny branch which fell from the tree. David just dug. 

Did we have fun playing together? Well, have another look...

Happy Family

Claire drew this. My papa is very proud of her. So am I.

Copy me

Everyday, there is a blue school bus that brings Claire to school. And everyday, I will try to get on, but I am never allowed to.

When can I finally take the school bus with Claire, I wonder? Will carrying her bag help? How about following her every action?

Des vacances françaises mémorables

My mama suspects it is not typical to bring young kiddos to France for a vacation.  In this trip, there were no museums, no shopping for Louis Vuitton, no Michelin star restaurants and no chateau hopping, but yes to hurried meals, yes to carousel, yes to very early morning walks with jet-lagged David and Claire.

Did we enjoy ourselves?  David and I did.  I think my papa and mama too, except that they probably need another holiday to recover from this one.


But we did see some famous sights.  We were at Champs de Mar but were more interested in playing in the big park and by the small pond nearby than Eiffel Tower itself.  Can you tell where we were?  Not I.

My papa and I also went to Les Invalides.  Yes, only the two of us.  Isn't that a special treat?  David and my mama were still sleeping in the wee hours of that morning.  I woke up early that morning and my papa didn't want our neighbours to knock on our door they did the morning before when David woke up at 3am and cried for two hours.

It was more enjoyable when we moved from the hotel to the countryside.   There was a trampoline, a swing, open spaces to run, chickens and a rabbit to feed.  We also have our little corner with toys and books.

What's more, David and I got to eat some decent food at last.  No more hard baguettes, biscuits or steaks, but delicious porridge and rice with seaweed.

What did we there?  Jump on the trampoline, pick stones, play house, gardening and feeding chickens.

For me, it was an unforgettable vacation.  And, my mama agrees.

Lunch break

David gives a whole new meaning to the term, lunch break.

Medal

Claire went to school the other day and came back with a medal. Isn't that great? My mama says that when I am bigger, I can go to school too. Then, I can have a medal too.

My papa says that Claire earned her medal from her good work during Sports Day.

First, she has to run with two rubber balls under her arms. Claire looked so relaxed. Must be quite a breeze.
Then, she has to skip through colourful hola hoops. This is definitely not my cup of tea. More likely, I will trip and fall, but look at my Jie-jie!

Then, Claire has to balance some ping pong balls in soup spoons, and
.. bean bags on her head!

Finally, after a long and tiring day, Claire received her medal from her teacher. Good job, Jie jie! I am very proud of you!

Buses

Buses are big. Buses are noisy. Buses bring us places.

Both Claire and I love buses, but we rarely get to ride in them. When we do, we love to peer out of the window, watching cars, motorbikes, taxis and other buses zip by.

On Monday, Ah-Ma brought us on a bus ride.

Where did we go? It depends who you asked.

If you asked Claire, Claire will say, "We went to a huge playground!"

If you asked me, I'll tell you, "A nice air-con place to sleep."
