Cagalli's Corner

Kalli attended the Gymboree (Shangrila Branch) Halloween party last October 29, 2009. Although it was a bit crowded, she still had so much fun! Below are some videos of her dancing :)



And another one...

I was trying to make Kalli nap the other day. See, she was really very sleepy but was fighting it. So I took her to our room and told her to lie on the bed. At first I was playing with her ear. That usually makes her sleepy. But she was really fighting it hard. She even told me it was daytime and she wants to go out. I told her she needs to take a nap and, after her nap, she'll have a prize. I then proceeded to sleep beside her. When she saw that I was sleeping, she closed her eyes too. She kept twitching and moving around though so I knew she was still awake. After a while she started hugging me - still with her eyes closed. Then (I guess because of boredom) she started lying down on my back - still with her eyes closed.

Suddenly she opened her eyes, sat down and said, "Mommy, I dreamed!" I was really trying not to laugh.

I told her, "But Kalli, you didn't sleep!"

"I did!"

Hahaha! Oh-oh, I think we're gonna get a lot more of this as she grows up :D

Here's a picture of Kalli reading to her "friends". She really loves books (like mommy!). She can actually spend hours in Fully-booked or Powerbooks just reading. We need a library to store her and my books, hahaha.

Enjoy the picture (taken October 10, 2009 - Kalli @ 2 years and 11 months)

Kalli can talk very well. But even now she still can't pronounce the letter R. It's "wotoy" for later, "latoy" for later. "yabit" for rabbit... you get the point. I bought her this pre-k workbook from national bookstore and there's a section there for phonix. For each letter, you encircle the pictures of those starting with that letter. Kalli's very good at it! When we got to Y though, she got a bit confused...

Mommy: (singing here) The Y says Ya, the Y says Ya, every letter makes
a sound, the Y says Ya.

Mommy: Kalli, does House start with Y?

Kalli: Ya Ya House. No!

Mommy: Very good! Does Yak start with Y?

Kalli: Ya Ya Yak. Yes!

Mommy: Very good! Does Yellow start with Y?

Kalli: Ya Ya Yellow. Yes!

Mommy: You're so good baby! Does Racket start with Y?

Kalli: Ya Ya Yaket. YES!

Oh no, mali! Hahahaha!

This happened a couple of months ago. Even now I still laugh thinking about it :)
