Boys on week long break





With the boys being older, the school holidays seem alot more fun but we're only half way thru this one week holiday trip and I find myself planning for our Chengdu trip in summer.

We zipped up to KL for a few days, the first time I have driven up in some time. Quite an easy drive, the boys will sleep half the journey after having lunch. They seem to remember KL and had a great time with their cousins. Here is Nate holding up a BIG mango that dad brought for dinner one night. Nate and Wei-Wei are now best of pals as they are both quite brave on all sorts of jungle gym type stuff.

Here is pistol resting, some cockatoos (kakak tua as they say here) roaming free and landed to eat fruit at a tree in the boy's school. Nate's painting of Mei hua (plum blossom), he had a very good report card, excelling on all fronts (which makes me think maybe the competitive local school environment may be a good challenge for him?) and still catching up on chinese. Though he got a good report for effort. He likes learning fruit names and seems to be on the verge of reading. When he wants something he can already string together a 14 word sentence in chinese.

Ike seemt to have elongated ie his head doesn't seem too big for his body now. Talking alot but needs a bit of effort to figure out what he is saying. My favourite is, "ike leepy" (ie sleepy).
