We went to our neighbors, the Jelaco's for the holiday. Elizabeth was in fine form. She is coloring a turkey here early in the day- she's working with a mono-colored palette currently.She scarfed down the stuffing and turkey to the exclusion of everything else, and shouted Yum Yum at the end of the meal. She topped this all off by giving her mother a real kiss - the first one - right before bed. As you can imagine, even the most pragmatic and stolid New Englander would have cried, and so I did.
The next morning, after refueling on leftover pie
, she ran around the kitchen saying "E Ar, E Ar, Nee How, Nee How Mama!" which is Mandarin for "One Two One Two Hello Mama." Andy and I were bent over laughing. This was two days after the destruction of my cell phone, which she pile-drived (piledrove?) into the floor of the local grocery store. So now, I have a beautiful new cell phone, my thanksgiving present from the baobao. Andy is seen here recovering from the turkey, his cold, and a week home with the family.
