Julia and her Flamingo stand

After reading Eric Carle's book titled the Mixed up Chameleon, I found my daughter calling me and showing me her newest trick. She calls it her "flamingo stand"! Yaaaay! Bravo! bravo! bravo!

I did a sketch below to commemorate her achievement. :) I plan to embroider the pattern one of these days and frame it for her to have when she gets married and have her first child. :)

Funny Julia

It is amazing what children pick up from their surroundings and retain as part of their memory. Julia never ceases to amaze me with all the random little things that she recalls, from the tunes we had sang months ago to the routines we do everyday.

One time I caught her seriously piling up her colors in the corner of the room. I asked her what she was doing. And she replied without looking up, "Colors. Timeout". It was indeed the same corner that I put her in when she is having her timeout. And it had been more than a month already since I have given her one.
After a couple of hours, I remembered about the colors being in the corner and told her that I thought the colors already had enough timeout to last them a year. She promptly removed them from the corner and returned them to their canister.
I found the incident quite amusing. Funny Julia.

Colors having their time-out... I wonder what they have done. They do look like they are sulking, aren't they?
