Car Trip

Whenever we go, wherever we go, Belle always ask what can she eat while sitting in the car? I need to bring 2-3 different type of snack just because she often said she got tired with my first or second offer. These are 2 pictures that I took during our way home from church last Sunday, Belle and her Froot Loops.

One Saturday

Every Saturday afternoon, Belle refused to take a nap. She always says that she wants to play with mommy (great.... she thinks mommy never get tired). Well, while daddy is napping, usually Belle would play with me. This Saturday, we were playing puzzle and... guess what, Belle tried to eat marshmallow for the very first time.

Magic Carpet

I can show you the world.... wanna see Belle's magic carpet in mommy's and daddy's room? Here it is....

Belle and Elden

Today is a busy Sunday for Belle. It started off with church at 8:30 AM and then we headed to Rose Hills to visit Belle's grandpa graveyard. Actually, prior to that, we stopped by McDonalds to grab egg muffin for breakfast. After we went and visited Grandpa's graveyard, we went to Kim Ky Noodle. Belle loves noodle so much. She said she does not like "bakmi", she likes "mie" instead.... notice the difference :o) Then, we went to Grandma's house. While we were there, Belle's cousin, Elden came for a visit. Here are some of the pictures taken by my handy camera phone so that I can post them right away:

Egg Hunting

This morning, we went to NLBC Sunday School Picnic for Egg Hunting. Belle was having a blast. She had so much fun looking for eggs while mommy and daddy were busy talking to friends :o)
Thanks to She Mu, who assisted Belle finding those eggs although it was not hard to locate them though... it was pretty much all over the place. Belle was able to meet new friends too. She could not stop talking about it. Thank you to NLBC Sunday School teachers too for allowing Belle to join the Egg Hunting event. Happy Easter everyone.

Special Saturday

Today is one of the special Saturday for Belle (today, her name is Ord, the blue dragon character from Dragontales). Want to see how he looks like? There he is...

We went to Discovery Cube in the morning and play in Clifford Exhibit and also we played how to make bubble out of the soap. These are some of the pictures taken by my handy camera phone. Belle's dad also want to be in the pictures too so there are a few of his poses in this slideshow. Enjoy!!!

After dinner, we went to Target to buy another set of the alphabetical wooden puzzle for Belle. She has been telling me that she could not arrange her own name cause she only has one set of alphabetical puzzle. She could only arrange B E L, she needed another L and E for her name. After we got home, she immediately open the new puzzle and took the one that she has, and arranged her own name, B E L L E.

Favorite Ride

We went to Borders Bookstore at South Coast last Saturday. After a while Belle got bored and asked me to take her outside. As we walked by, she said she wanted to get into the elevator so we decided to go to the upper level. When we sat up there, Belle asked, "Is that a Merry Go Round, mommy?" She saw something that went in circle, the red stuff but I could not see clearly what's there. Then, I suggested her to go to lower level, she agreed. As we approached the "thing" that we saw from upstairs, it was really a smaller version of merry-go-round. Since it's small, Belle could ride by herself. Actually she really rode by herself, no other kid around. She really enjoyed it, that's her favorite ride. Below is when she rode another one at the Main Place Mall a few months ago.

Belle's Grandpa

Even though Belle was too young to remember grandpa, I tried to remind her whenever we got a chance. Grandpa was very proud of Belle. He showed Belle's pictures around to his friends and relatives. In fact, I tried to ask her to visit grandpa's graveyard once in a while. Belle knows that grandpa is now in Heaven and she also knows that whenever she comes and visit grandpa's graveyard, that place's name is Rose Hill.

Gendut, Nemo, etc etc...

Last week, you wanted us to call you "gendut" (aka big tummy in English) because you have been eating a lot. This week, your name is changed to Nemo, just because you just finished watching the "Finding Nemo" movie last Sunday. I think you are full of imagination. Sometimes you even swam in the carpet pretending to be Nemo. You called me, Dori, the blue fish that helped Nemo's dad looking for the lost Nemo. You called daddy Marlyn, Nemo's dad. Unfortunately, Nemo does not have a grandma, so you still call grandma. Let's see how are you going to name yourself next week after we finish watching other movies :o)

Belle and Disney Movies

Belle has been watching a lot of Disney cartoons ever since the President's Day weekend. Actually, she started watching the Surf's Up movie by Sony, a gift from my former coworker. She liked it. Then we started letting her watch Jungle Book, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Snow White, and now... she is watching Oliver & The Company. She usually watch the movie about 30-40 minutes at a time at our bedroom. After that, Belle usually take a bath and heading to her bedroom to sleep.
