D' Chinese Girls

This picture was taken October 24, 2008. Sam's wearing this Chinese dress for their school's International Day Celebration. Each student was asked to present any talent or skill they could show off on that day. Sam loves to solve jigsaw puzzle and that's what she presented to the audience.

A Family Together

This is one of Sam's masterpieces. Every time this kid draws something, her family is always the content of those simple yet meaningful creation.

House Rooms...

Sam and I was reviewing for her first grading exam about different rooms in the house.

Me: Sam, where are you going to eat?
Sam: Eating room
Me: Not eating room, dining room. Where are you going to watch tv?
Sam: Tv room
Me: Living room. Where are you going to sleep?
Sam: Sleeping room
Me: Bedroom. Where are you going to take a bath?
Sam: CR room
Me: Bathroom. Where are you going to cook?
Sam: Kitchen...

Hurray...! At least she got the last one right... I thought she was going to answer cooking room.

Peanut Please...

Sam was eating peanuts and Ella was asking for some...

Ella: Sam, give peanut
Sam: Say please
Ella: Please
Sam: Say Please....
Ella: Please....
Sam: Say PLease...Sam
Ella: Please...Sam
Sam: Say Please...Ate Sam
Ella: (slaps the peanut on Sam's hand)

At last, the younger sister realized that her ate was just making fun of her. So, at the end, she gave up begging.

Tickled by a flower

Bleh... The only comment baby Ella can give while feeling the tickle of the flower on her ears.

Posing with Barbie

Proudly showing Barbie on her drawing book...

The Memoirs of Geisha

Sam on her Geisha look...

Singing with the wind

Suddenly the strong wind blew... while feeling the touch of the wind on their skin, these kids sang in amazement.

Artwork

This is one of Sam's artwork.

Sam's Smile

Sam with her cutest smile... so far(just don't mind the colors around her mouth).

The #4

These kids were having a hard time finding their best #4 position when they had this picture taken. But you can hardly tell, right?

Kids with Jollibee

Sam and Ella really love Jollibee. Whenever they pass by a Jollibee store, they would stop to say hi and give a hug to Jollibee.

Anyway, this picture is solely for the purpose of showing the viewers the likes of Sam and Ella... and not for advertising.

Cuddly Cute Demonyita

She's not evil, she's a little girl named Ella. She may not be as good as an angel but she'll never be as bad as a devil.

The Singing Baby (Start 'em young)

As early as one year old, our little Ella has been practicing her singing talent...

The Bleh Bleh Kids

I always have fun whenever I watch this video. Laughter is indeed one of the many miracles that a child could bring into a parent's life. I do hope you find this video cute.

Wonder Woman Sam

This is little Wonder Woman Sam with her little sidekick sister, Ella. Sam was wearing this costume for their school's Cartoon Day.

Sam and Ella

This is Sam and Ella, our two lovely kids. Don't you find this picture cute? Sam is now 4 years old and Ella, 2 years old.

Sam with classmates

This picture was taken during Sam's recognition day, March 15, 2008. With Sam are her classmates from nursery.

Looking at this picture made me realize that my kids had grown up so fast. It made me wonder how I was when I was as young as Sam. Did I smile like her, did I pose for pic like her?
Just some of the few thoughts that I can hardly answer...

Anyway, aren't kids nowadays very much more advanced than the kids a generation before them? I think they mature too fast that we can hardly notice that they think fast too. They are able to think fast of multiple reasons for buy-that's and go-there's. Or is it just because we, as parents, keep spoiling them?

Pooh Bear, Tgr, Piklet and He-Whore

Kids sometimes pronounce names in a funny way. Here is a transcript( or an attempt to create a transcript) of an actual conversation that took place during my birthday party between one of my friends and my eldest daughter.

Unca Earl: Who is this Sam?
(pointing to the favorite lovable yellow bear)

Sam: Pooh!

Unca Earl: Who is this Sam?
(pointing to another lovable character)

Sam: Tgr!

Unca Earl: Who is this Sam?
(pointing to yet another lovable character known as Piglet)

Sam: Piklet!

Unca Earl: How about this, Sam?
(pointing to Eeyore)

Sam: E-wore

Unca Earl: He-whore?
(obviously amused)
