Emily Gets A Mandarin Lesson



Hui finally got tired of us pointing to her photograph book and asking her "Who is this"...... she turned the tables with Emily by taking the book, pointing to a picture, and in Mandarin asking (WE THINK!) "Who is this?" When Emily replied in Mandarin, she shook her head as though to say, "That was awful! Try again!" The funniest moment is when Hui is saying snowman and Emily just can't quite get it right. (This part is not recorded) She said Baba something something something.... so I repeated it apparently to her satisfaction.... she looked at Emily and said...this was pretty obvious "Dad can say it correctly but not you!" then reached out and tapped Emily on the forehead. Very funny! Enjoy these moment between two sisters. Hui is now the teacher and Emily the student!

That is so sweet. You are going to have to really be on your toes to keep up with that little gal! Karon

That is just priceless. Hui obviously demands a little more than the basics. I can see you're going to become a bi lingual family!!

She continues to be absolutely amazing. We are loving all the clips. Lili was enthralled by the hand over, and watched it all so carefully.

This sounds like the racket I heard over the phone last night when you called me!

Too funny!

Just about a week before I get to meet my new sis.
