Twice I caught myself trying to tell James something over Sophie's head in Chinese, hoping that she didn't understand and each time she did.

 

Just a few days ago, I told James in Chinese, "Don't give her too much ice cream, just a little will do" and immediately Sophie looked up at me and said back in Chinese "No! More!"…. sigh… gone are the days we can talk "behind her back"!

 

Need to find a new language! :) :)

Mama and Yeye, thank you for the Strawberry Shortcake books! Sophie likes them VERY MUCH. She's been reading them everyday.

 

Sophie is really into Strawberry Shortcake, princesses, dress ups, make up, jewellery and being Cinderella at the moment. I donno how many times we've had to act out the Cinderella scene where she drops her shoe and the prince asks if the shoe belongs to her and they live happily ever after. Btw, she's dropped her shoe on purpose in public many times so that we can reenact this scene! It's super funny!!

 

She's also been asking me to get her a ballerina outfit! I'm starting to get all influenced and attracted to fairy costumes and frilly frilly things I see on Trademe (an ebay equivalent here)!

 

Oh my! Oh my! Never thought we'll get here – the day when pink is the only colour on earth.

 

Thank God she's still wearing what I choose for her to some extent. (Love the tights that the Sept Mums got for Soph! Thanks girls!)

Sophie has a soft spot for sweets – cakes, ice cream, hot chocolate, candies etc……….. ok pretty much just like any other kid.

 

P/s I love this pic, check out the waitress laughing at her. During our stay in Auckland, we took a ferry to Devonport, a little seaside village. Very quaint and pretty. Here’s where we stopped for lunch.

Sophie: Mummy you outside?

 

Me: Yes I’m always outside waiting for you to wake up k? You don’t have to be scared when you sleep. (She sleeps in her own room)

 

Sophie: Jesus is with me? (ok she said something to this effect. I can’t rem her exact words)

 

Me: (Wow!) Yes yes! Jesus is in your heart and you don’t have to be scared.

 

That really really made my day! Last night we read about the Lost Sheep, about how God loves us so much, He would do anything to look for us, even dramatised it by looking for her sheep. We ended off the night singing

 

"Be bold Be Strong

For the Lord thy God is with you

I am not afraid

No no no

I am not dismayed

Coz I’m walking in faith and victory

For the Lord thy God is with you"

 

She remembered!
