Guiter Player

Shi-Shi's family went to San Diego, and Papa and Mama bought a guiter for Shi-Shi at Old Town State Historic Park, where the first Europians settled in California, and there are original building re-creating the era from 1821-1872. (those buildings serve as musiums, shops, and restaurants. ) Old Town is quite interesting place to see cultural things. Papa and Mama thought of adding a new instrument to Shi-Shi's toy box. First, they saw maracases, and Shi-Shi played with them for a while, but when Mama asked her about which one or two getting, she lost interest. Then she bamped a shop and saw a guiter. Suddenly she toutched and started playing. A guy at the shop came out and showed her him playing, and she showed interest. It was only $11, and Mama thought that it was good for beginning. She sees her music teacher playing the guiter every week, so she does know how to hold it, and it looks like she already know how to play and is a good guiterlist!

Bubble Bubble

Shi-Shi was invited to a friend's birthday party. She found a bottle of bubble liquid and enjoyed making bubbles. She's had great time with friends and got tired afterwards, and she's been asleep for more than 3 hours!

Creazy about Bubble!

Shi-Shi went to Elizabeth Gamble Park with friends from her playgroup. It was a perfect weather for walking around the park. There is a rose garden, and it is really beautiful. Mama had never seen such a lot of roses in one place. Mama remembers that she once visited a park which was famous for roses, though, the day she visited was not the season and only saw leaves. Shi-Shi was interested in roses and touched flower petals. Later on, they went to a cactus garden, and there was a girl playing with her bubble maker. The girl generously let others to play, and Shi-Shi and her friend enjoyed making bubble.

 

Grown-up girl

Shi-Shi's grandma bought the pink dress last summer, and it was really big for her at that time. Now she wears it, and it's just her size!! She's grown up since last year. Grandma must be really happy to see her next month!

Home-grown carrots

A friend of Shi-Shi and Mama has a home garden and brought a bunch of carrots!! Shi-Shi only knows carrots in a store, not carrots with leaves and earth. Mama asked Shi-Shi to help cutting off the head part, and Shi-Shi curiously tried and tasted the freshest carrot. They were really crunchy and sweeter than one at a store. Mama made carrot salad for dinner.

Baking Bread

Mama is a big fun of a bread, though, she has never baked a bread by herself. She found a book about how to bake a bread for biginners the other day, and thought " well, maybe we (Shi-Shi and mama) can bake together!". So mama bought everything needed and was ready. Mama started scaling flour, yeast, suger, salt, olive oil etc, and, Shi-Shi was very curious what mama was going to do. Shi-Shi distracted and annoyed mama, but by the time when all the ingredients were mixed and got in a big one dough, Shi-Shi could touch and be allowed to knead some part of the big dough. It looked like she was playing with play dough. Shi-Shi is now sleeping, and mama is waiting for the second fermentation. Baking a bread is time consuming!!

Balance Bike

Shi-Shi got a balance bike and has practiced since then. She seems to be really fun pushing her bike in the living room. On the first day, she took her bike outside and steped it over and walked around the apartment. There were so many things which distracted, such as a manhole, leaves, seeds of some kind of tree, etc... and never went straight. A friend of Mama told her that she had to be really patient for the several days until Shi-Shi found an interest in riding a bike more than finding something else outside. But mama was not that patient person, and she got really tired after all. Actually, Shi-Shi did really well for the first run. Mama was so proud of Shi-Shi!
