Quick Update
I had the longest conversation I’ve ever had with Keira last night. It went something like this:
Me: Keira, are you cold?
K: No, I not cold.
Me: If you’re cold, tell me and we’ll wear your jacket ok?
K: Ok, I not cold, later I cold I wear jacket.
Me: (Astounded that Keira knows and understands how to use the word “later”) OK.
K: Mama, you cold?
Me: Yes, that’s why I’m wearing this blanket.
K: I warm, no need wear blanket.
Me: Ok.
She’s growing in leaps and bounds.
So we’ve been here two weeks. Keira has gotten homesick once or twice, when she remembers all her toys at home, and Daddy at home, then she’ll say “I want to go home now.”
I sort of encourage it by saying “When we go home Daddy will buy you a kite OK?” Just to keep her mentally prepared that we will have to leave all the fun and games of this “holiday” in Australia eventually.
She wants a red kite.
I’ve taken lots of pictures and videos of Keira and Yong Hao together, but can’t upload now, cos of slow internet… will put them up later.
CY will be coming over in a week plus time for CNY, yay! Looking forward to us taking Keira around Melbourne, and showing her all the sights:)

When we were on holiday, I didn’t talk about London much until near the end. Then I talked about his friends in London so that he will look forward to coming home. I was worried that he will miss KL but he seems to understand. I told him that his grandparents, etc are far away and he knows that and hasn’t really asked to go to their house. Kids are very versatile really.
