Preschool

C-bao has started at her new preschool for several weeks now. With her array of experiences over the summer at various summer camps, C-bao was emotionally much readier than the C-folks had anticipated, though there were still some moments of sadness at various points during the first couple of weeks. Overall, though, our little one has adjusted to her new environment like a champion.

Both the art and music programs at her new preschool are areas of emphasis, which the C-folks really like.

So is hands on learning. Above C-bao collaborates with a friend to build a Magnatile tower.

The school also has an extensive playground in the back that is entirely covered with sand. We all know what this means: daily sand in the shoes, socks, sandwiches, car and everything else she comes into contact with.

Head Restraint

For a little 3-year-old girl, C-bao's appears to have quite a heavy head. Full of grey matter, C-Pop would like to think. The unfortunate consequence of that, however, is that when C-bao falls asleep on long road trips, her head ends up dangling forward at uncomfortable and seemingly even dangerous angles.

The below is a home-made contraption C-Pop set up on our last road trip to try and prevent any whiplash-like neck strains on our little one.

Sharing is Caring

C-bao attempts to eat a frozen dessert, only to be ambushed by her older sister. 

"Hmm...this looks pretty yummy"

K-bao: "What you got there, C-bao? By the way, you love me, right?"

C-bao: "Wait a sec, sis...just hang on one minute...easy there..."

Dancing on Water

C-bao grooves to her Aunt Catherine & Uncle James' iconic song Running on Water.

All moves self-taught (including the floor sprawl).

The "elbow freeze" is particularly inspired.

"Excuse me, Daddy, who did this to me?"

(Who else?)

Royal Jigsaw

To celebrate meeting the princesses last week, C-bao put together the above puzzle this weekend (mostly on her own, the C-folks might add). She's come a long way with these puzzles over the past few months.

Princesses

C-bao's visit to Disneyland of course included meeting various princesses, including Snow White, Cinderella and Belle.

C-bao was quite shy, actually, and didn't appear to be overly comfortable with royalty etiquette. Luckily the princesses were all quite gracious and encouraging. Good training, Disney!

Here she is having a nice conversation with Cinderella, who complimented her on her blue shirt.
