1. Kai repeated "wa-vuu" (love you) as I was heading out for work.
2. Bill took Kai to Langara Daycare, and the teachers were all very impressed by Kai. They said he was independent, confident, happy, cheerful, adorable, ready for daycare, a perfect candidate, and a natural sharer.
3. Kai wants to try everything on the table at mealtime, and he seems to like spicy food as well.
4. Bill, "How old are you, Kai?" Kai looked at his father with this "I've never heard this question before" look. Bill answered, "One..." Kai, "Two!"
5. We were playing with his cars after dinner. Kai put two cars on the floor, jumped up, and said, "Two!" I smiled and said, "That's right! You have two cars. Look! One, two,...." Kai threw another car down and said, "Tree!" I was absolutely thrilled. That was the first time I'd heard him count to three, so I asked again, "How many cars do you have, Kai? How many?" Kai said, "Three!" This little guy corrected his own pronunciation.
6. For the very first time, Kai called my mom 外婆 (pronounced "wai puo", which means maternal grandmother in Chinese) with perfect pronunciation and tones. He also showed off "dancing while playing the piano" and blew kisses at my mom during our hour-long Skype conversation today.He totally made my mom's day!
7. At bath time, Kai has started to show interest in making swimming moves. He tried getting me to support his upper body while he peddled with his legs yesterday; and today, he leaned backward (with my hand behind his head) until only his face was above the water line. He has tried to put his face in the water before, but he hasn't done it again in a while. Maybe it's time to visit the pool at the Y.
8. Evidently, Kai knows how to roll up his sleeve before he washes his hands, and afterward he insisted on pulling them down.... all the way down.
