One night the kids were playing with paper airplanes -- throwing them from the top of the stairs down. My mom joined in the fun by helping retrieve the planes, so I took a break. After a while, she went back to her room. DiDi noticed and would call out for my mom, "PoPO, lai (Grandma, come)." He didn't call for me even though I was just sitting nearby reading.
Hansel has been sending short videos to the kids. I played the first one for them the other night. Maile couldn't get enough of it. I played another one tonight, and Maile was beaming from ear-to-ear. She's definitely Daddy's little girl right now.
One evening after dinner, Beck came up to me smiling saying he needed to poo poo. That was the first time he had told me. Normally, I just catch him the act and when I ask him if he's pooping, he'll say no. Anyway, this time I asked if he wanted to poop in the potty and he said no. I then said if he pooped in the potty, I would give him raisins. He immediately turned around and headed toward the bathroom. He pooped in the potty, and I almost forgot about the raisins until Maile reminded me. Big sister looking out for her little brother.
Saturday night (11/22) Maile wanted to make a video for Hansel, but I couldn't think of anything for them to do and Maile couldn't either. Pretty lame and uncreative on my part.
On Sunday Beck and I were cleaning up the playdoh toys. Putting things in one by one. Beck would pick up something and ask "Another one?" I would reply yes and he would put it in. When he did this with the last two items, he said "Another two. Another three." Hehe.
Also, on Sunday Maile wanted to draw a picture for a magnetic frame we have on our fridge. I assumed she was going to draw a house or a flower. Instead she drew a shirt, hands, and then a head. I thought this was really clever and interesting. I thought the latter because in the past when she's drawn people, they've been stick figures.
That night I let the kids watch a movie. They picked The Incredibles. During the end fight scene with the robot, the Incredibles are trying to get a hold of this wristband remote that the bad guy, Syndrome, used to control the robot. I used the word, bracelet, when explaining this part to Maile. Later, in the movie the Incredibles run into their house to find Syndrome holding their baby. Syndrome says, "You took my future." Maile then said to me, "Mommy, Syndrome said they took his future not his bracelet."
