嘟嘴


From time to time, Nathan would make this funny face that would always elicit a smile from me. Although Katrina also had a very wide range of facial expressions, she's never made this one before - so I've been wanting to take this picture for quite a while. But as most moms know - by the time you pull out the camera to capture a moment, kids are usually onto their next thing - so I was glad this time I got it.

Eat at school

Since we want Katrina to stay proficient in Cantonese, we haven't really taught her how to speak in English athough she does know single words like numbers, colors, animals, etc. We just assumed she'll one day magically learn to speak perfectly all on her own. She did pick up a few phrases here and there from preschool but I guess all bilingual students need a little help every now and then:

Out of the blue, Katrina proclaimed: Saturday and Sunday, I don't go to school eat,

then added prouldy: 即係 Saturday and Sunday 唔喺學校食嘢啦 !

Jonathan smiled and said: 唔係咁講, 應該講 I don't eat at school.

Katrina repeated: I don't eat at school...

then went: 喔,咁咪即係食咗學校囉?
