Mommy, That Raincoat Makes Me Look Fat

That's the second time Jiejie, barely 6, has said something makes her look fat. I am stunned and not sure how to respond to these comments from my 40-lb. beanpole. Kindergartners are getting older every day.

Daily (?) Headlines: Snacktime for JieJie and MeiMei

JieJie has been enjoying helping with her little sister, trying to change diapers and t-shirts, wresting the spoon from her spirited sister to feed her, and fetching her snacks and drinks.

Yesterday's treat was prunes. Lots of prunes. I left the room for a minute and when i returned they had made baseballs of prunes and were munching away. JieJie did not understand why i said they had eaten enough prunes. After all, PawPaw Dave had told her they were good for your tummy!

So far no ill effects.
