these footprints were made by 'hand-prints'.

crystal made it by herself (using her fist and fingers)

在沙滩上的小脚丫。。真好玩！

snails 小蜗牛

when got home from office, mama saw crystal was busy with this.

smarty was helping her.

watermelon 西瓜大大 西瓜小小

crystal's assistant-teacher told grandpa that at her class some kids drew nothing, 1, 2 or maximum 4 slices of watermelons. crystal drew 9 slices!

the same as the number of our big family members:

grandpa, grandma

uncle, aunty, Smarty

daddy, mommy, crystal, angie

what a coincidence!

and everybody in our family loves this picture.

mama loves it so much!

晶晶班的沈阿姨说班上的小朋友有的没画出来，有的画一两个，最多画四个。

但是晶晶确画了九个！

沈阿姨还说：晶晶画画真照！

呵呵！

画的跟我们家里人的数量正好是一样的：

爷爷，奶奶

大伯伯，大妈妈， 聪聪

爸爸，妈妈，晶晶，齐齐

九个人。真巧！

妈妈好喜欢这西瓜图画！

西瓜切的小小。<-- 这是晶晶打的字, 妈妈帮她念出拼音的字母

means: the watermelon is sliced into small pieces

(crystal typed this, with the help from mama for the pinyin .. using abc for spelling the chinese characters)

EXPO Central China 2009

after dinner, Crystal was busy with some hand-works paper materials in our room wooden floor. she was working on it for about an hour. then she was whining and crying .. before i came to help. her creation couldn't raise-up. then i told her how to make a support for her creation. she understood. and to my surprise.. she made an 'expo booth'! she asked me to help her write in chinese for EXPO CENTRAL CHINA. 

she did go to the expo with grandpa and grandma on 26-April-2009.

吃过晚饭， 晶晶在我们房里忙了大概一个多小时，用她的手工书材料做手工。

因为做不好还哭了一会。果然是作品竖不起来。 

后来妈妈过来，告诉她怎样能使作品竖起来。

晶晶明白了。作玩了还叫妈妈帮她写了：‘中博会’ 三个字。

真没想到 。。果然晶晶是做了一个展位！

here are some pics of the EXPO CENTRAL CHINA 2009 in Hefei.

CLOCK 钟

crystal started to tell the time on 23 months, but not perfectly.

by the age of 3, she can tell the hours perfectly. but we haven't taught her to tell the minutes.

as usual, we are not in a hurry for this... =)

below is crystal third clock picture;

complete with the arms for hour, minute and second.

the first and second one without the clock arms.

晶晶第三次画钟。小时，分钟，秒钟的针全都画上了。

第一个和第二个的晶没把针画上。

elephant 大象

mommy thought this was a mouse, because Crystal didn't draw the long nose. mommy suggested Cyrstal drawing the elephant's nose.

妈妈以为是画老鼠 因为晶晶没画大象的鼻子.

后来妈妈建议晶晶给大象画上鼻子.

19-May-2009

last nite, after phone conversation with her daddy, crystal said, "mommy, i'll draw elephant, you help me draw the tusks, ok?"

跟爸爸打玩电话，晶晶对妈妈说："妈妈，我画大象，等一会你帮我画象牙."

numbers and daddy's name 写数字和爸爸名字

people 人

the second person has a smiley face.

第二个的人有笑脸。

rainbow or bridge 是彩虹还是 桥？

mama told Crystal once .. 

but still can't remember the color sequence.

妈妈有次讲过彩虹颜色顺序,但是晶晶还没完全记得.

but then, Crystal confirmed that these were bridges, not rainbow.

后来晶晶说这画的是一座桥，不是彩虹。

grapes egg mosaic 葡萄马赛克画

Crystal could draw grapes, but she insisted mommy to draw for her. this was better than apple egg-mosaic we did together last time.

其实晶晶可以自己画葡萄，但是非要妈妈给她画． 这一次做的比上次做的好一些。
