Our friend flew in from Calgary for a short visit. Sana calls him Uncle Shan. She also keeps telling us "shhh, Uncle Shan is sleeping!"
She also tells me "shhh, daddy is sleeping!"
I have not been told by any source that she tells anyone "shhh, mommy is sleeping!"
Ok, I got it. I am awake all the time she is, and more.
Mothers need to be cared too.

I like it!
We went to the beach on the 15th of January in Chinese Lunar Calender, to appreciate the beautiful full moon that night. We took our teas along. Sana wanted to try my green tea. I let her take a sip, she put on a smile and said, "I like it". Then she finished my green tea for me. Small as she is, she already knows what she likes. Sometimes I do wonder, should it be my job or her job to teach her?

We moved into the family housing on campus.
Sana got sick. Ear infection, the first time in her life. Apparently it was painful. She fell in love with the pink antibiotics. It was finished three days ago and she was asking for "medicine" yesterday.
I had assignments due. The last piece was sent out midnight last night. So all is good and fresh. New assignments and exams coming up. School!
Daddy also stayed up late to file stories for BBC.
What happened to our new year resolution of not staying up late?
Victoria is beautiful as ever. We wake up with the birds chirping in the back. Small animals run in the forest steps away from our patio. Nature is a gift.

Sana picked the black and red dress three mornings ago and asked me to put it on her. "Mommy, dance, " with a smile. This is the typical language she talks in. Then she surprised me by bringing out a dress and saying clearly "ok, we'll go with this one!"
"Happy ... to you, happy ... to you, happy ... dear Sana, happy ... to you". This is how she sings "happy birthday to you". I sang it twice and she was singing it with me the third time. The fourth time she is putting different people's names in the song. She totally got the idea. This is how I forgive her for not being able to spell "birthday" and many other words. Brain before tongue is considered a virtue by me anyway.
We read books. Sana has seen the sun, the moon, the stars, and the owl in the book. Somehow she made the connection and showed us the sun, the moon, and the stars in the sky; then the owl in the movie "Bambi". Again, it is the idea that counts.
Above all, this is probably the only time in kids' life that they do not have to rush for things. Why pushing?
She keeps me balanced. This is how.
