Filial Piety

C-bao heard that her mum is suffering from a stiff neck and shoulders, so like a good filial daughter she immediately gets to work rolling out those knots.

Rosie

C-bao, like her sister, loves to both sing and dance. Here she performs Ring Around the Rosie, one of the many rhymes in her repertoire, with sister K-bao.

His praise

While C-Pop was away on a business trip recently, the girls gathered for their nightly scripture reading. The memorization verse of the week was Psalm 34:1, and both K-bao and C-Mum handled the English version from memory with aplomb: "I will extol the Lord at all times; His praise will always be on my lips."

When it came to the Chinese version though, K-bao recited the first half ( "我 要 時 時 稱 頌 耶 和 華...") but then got stuck. C-Mum was similarly perplexed. Mother and daughter looked at each other blankly. 

Suddenly, the littlest one piped up. "讚 美!" she cried. By George! That was it. 

The rest of the verse flowed out, and C-bao even finished the sentence for them: "口 中!" she inserted, at just the right time, while pointing to her lips. "讚 美 他 的 話 必 常 在 我 口 中!"

Amen! shouted C-Mum. "C-bao! I'm so proud of you!" chimed in K-bao.

What's the big deal, Mum? 

Touchy

C-bao has turned out to be quite a touchy-feely girl. She has loved to touch animals, for example, from an early age (despite being simultaneously petrified). Whenever she sees a dog walking by, she shouts, "摸它! 摸它!" (Touch it! Touch it!).

Predictably, she has turned out to be a big fan of petting zoos, and will run around like a glutton at a buffet, from one animal to the next.

Here she is with the goats:

And the pigs:

And the rabbits:

She can also be quite friendly with any little cuties she sees at the park or on a play date, insisting on generously doling out hugs whether requested or not. Here is a young gent she met in Scottsdale who was quite pleased with all the attention.

In other cases, such as with stalwart little Emmett, a friend she sees from time to time, the affection is not as visibly appreciated.
