New Commitment

By -
Renee is almost 1 year old, and I haven't spoken much chinese with her. Even when she was first born, it was mostly English with Kira and everyone else in the house. It's too bad because I remember a time when Kira knew more Chinese words than English words. Here's my resolution to speak more Chinese to Renee. And, I'll make it Cantonese, too...even though my Cantonese sucks really badly. But, I figure, if this gwai loh can do it, then I can too!



Here are some ideas I have for keeping us motivated:
1. During mealtimes, we must speak Cantonese
2. Take videos of conversations and new vocab
3. Watching cartoons in Cantonese

Wish us LUCK

Where are the videos of Renee??? I have some, but honestly, they are boring. Renee's range of emotions and expressions are not as extreme as Kira's were, and so her videos are not as interesting. I will post an interesting video as soon as we capture one! In the meantime, here's one of Kira =)

Food Diary

By -
I think after a few more days of this, I will only make food diary posts when there is something worth mentioning.  For example, yesterday I made steamed eggs for Kira for the first time and she LOVED it!  I'll definitely be making that more often.  Here is what she ate yesterday and what she's eating this morning: Breakfast:  - french toast (just a few bites)  - strawberries  - 8 oz milk Lunch:  - rice porridge with chicken  - steamed broccoli Lunch was awful!  Kira had a temper tantrum because she wanted to feed herself, but I overheated the jook so it was way too hot for her to handle.  I tried to explain that to her, but she wouldn't listen.  Instead she had a FULL OUT temper tantrum.  It was really awful. Snack:  - apples  - 1 slice of muenster cheese Dinner:  - green beans (she only had a nibble or two)  - steamed egg with roasted chicken  - 1/3 c white rice Breakfast  - 1/2 peach  - mini croissant
