Discovering new horizons...

Dato was in NYC for a talk, and Amélie missed her daddy very much, she wanted to call him every 5 minutes - every time she got him on the phone, she kept beaming:



Enlightening overheard conversation between them this morning:
a: daddy, you're a genius!
D: Thank you pingulinho, what does 'genius' mean?
a: Silly!
D: Uh?
a: YEAH, in Korean! Grace (her friend from Korea) told me!
Alright then!

Talking about other languages and cultures, Amélie also had a great experience this weekend, dressing up in gorgeous clothes from India with her new friends Isha and Koel:


On our way back home, we were having a conversation about nap time:
M: OK big kid, once we get home, you can watch one clip, then we brush your teeth, and then you go to bed, OK?
a: no no no mommy, let's make a deal!
M: well, give me your plan and we'll decide...
a: OK here's my deal: I want to watch a long clip, then I want to brush my teeth with my tinkerbell toothbrush and my strawberry toothpaste, and then I want to go to my room to rest ok?
M: WOW big kid, good description, that is an awesome way to make a deal: so OK that's a DEAL!

It's all about control!
