Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush

Amazingly, C-bao is coming to the end of her year in the Rainbow Dolphin class at her school, and in celebration of a great year her class put together a spring musical.

The musical was Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush, and C-bao was assigned an important role as one of the Gardeners.

By the way, C-Mum astutely noticed that the key sign with the show name had a number of, um, "autographs" repeated several times in 3 or 4 places on the sign.

Here the performers enter the outdoor stage area, to great fanfare and applause.



Here are a couple of snippets of the story narration and accompanying songs.


Both C-Pop and C-Mum attended the show, and  Aunt Christina cut short her workday and came all the way up from South San Francisco to catch little C-bao in action. Aunt Christina brought a nice flower for our star performer.

Chores

C-bao and her sister K-bao are gradually coming up to chore-readiness age, and for the C-folks it cannot come sooner.

Today was a big day as the girls did a full load of (their own) laundry pretty much from beginning to end. Here they rest and observe their work.

Potty Joke

"It's hard for anyone to make me laugh," said sister K-bao last night in the car, with a serious but proud face.

A few seconds later the following conversation took place.

C-bao: "Where are we going?"
C-Mum: "To a party, C-bao. Remember I told you? Sister K-bao's friend is having a party."
C-bao: "Pah-tee?"
C-Mum: Yes.
C-bao: (Pause)..."Why are we going to the bathroom?"
K-bao: HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Seriously, you couldn't make this stuff up. 

Center of Attention

C-bao showed up to pick up older sister K-bao at the end of her ballet lesson the other day.

The little one was somewhat startled by the reception she received. K-bao's friends immediately crowded around and took turns picking her up and complimenting her on her outfit. In the meantime, K-bao beamed from ear to ear and proudly showed her off like a coveted doll in a show and tell session.
