Little Buddha (阿弥陀佛)


"1234567890abcdefghijklnnmopqhrstuvxyz"
Dulcea's very first Buddhist spell, a complete input from A to Z using a keyboard all by herself. There is no more wisdom beyond the combination of these characters.
We will try not to let her play with computer too much at this age.

Ladybug or babybug? (2y7m) 多星瓢虫


My kiss cures (and a portrait of her favorite doll 2y8m) 爸爸,我吹一吹,你就好了。

My kiss cures and it does.
My first independent non abstract drawing

From time to time, Dulcea would like to kiss or blow a gentle breeze over the wounds on dad. She believes the kiss cures. It really melts my heart.
She wants to be a pediatrician, a repairer and a musician for now. I suppose a good musician who heals the hearts of kids is her career.
At two and half, she finally finished a potrait all by herself. It is the doll that she is kissing if you can not tell. :) (Comments: Actually, Dad is wrong on this. The portrait is of strawberry shortcake.)

Holloween round 2 (闪电麦昆)(2y7m)

Too eager to wait.
Ready to go


Home, sweet home with an axe.

This is the 2nd time Dulcea went out for "treat and treat" and this time she could speak "trick or treat" loud and clear. Mom and grandmom escorted her out. The real treat came after the holloween when a neighbor's mom gave her a big lightening McQween.




Word police in action (只许多官编歌,不许爸姓改词)(2y7m)


Dulcea has been composing new tunes and editing lyrics all the time. But whenever dad does the same thing, she has to correct me. According to Dulcea, only she has permit and dad is not allowed to mislead her. :(

Rain/time, please stop, I want to play with the slide. (21m) 白马过隙,多多滑梯


‘Well, well, go and play till the light fades away,
And then go home to bed.’
The little ones leaped, and shouted, and laughed,
And all the hills echoèd.

Dress-up. 俺们今个发财了,手镯买两个。手上拿一个, 胳膊上缠一个。(21m)


Life is about the hard work, and the burst of happiness. (20m) 多多的鸡蛋桌球。




Cherry-ripe (樱桃小嘴)(20m)

A big milestone: Dulcea is 20 month now and is old enough to make comments on all her photos. She has learned so such, can talk with 500 words in Chinese, can sing the tune of over 50 songs, can play a trick or two. 喜欢“踩”蘑菇,会要买路“踩”. There are still so much to learn.
As about this photo, no one can say it better than Thomas Campion ,

"There is a garden in her face
Where roses and white lilies blow;
A heavenly paradise is that place,
Wherein all pleasant fruits do flow:
There cherries grow which none may buy
Till 'Cherry-ripe' themselves do cry."
