Double Happiness

Here are some photos for the months of Dec/Jan. There was a lot of activity with Christmas and New Year; and it’s not over yet considering Chinese New Year is just around the corner.

The kids are growing well as you can see. In fact their language development is unbelievable! Both babies understand French, Chinese and English well. Although Tristan is making only moderate efforts to speak well (boyz!), Celestine is getting more and more fluent in all 3 languages. For example, if she wants me to carry her, she’ll say “Papa, porte-moi, s’il te plait” (French for “Daddy, Carry me please”). When Yuki, bites the christmas tree, she can warn the household by saying “Yuki Bites Christmas Tree!”, and if Tristan tries to climb on the table, she might say: “Koko pa gao gao die dao” (Chinese for “Koko climb high high will fall down”). Tristan on the other hand is devoting most of his energy in running and acting crazy. It is quite tiring looking after him given all this energy.

We are organizing ourselves better to make the kids have a variety of experiences. To this end, we are now trying to go to new places and parks, such as the newly opened Marina barrage, Sentosa island, the botanic garden, and other parks. It keeps the babies interested and brings us to nice places we sometimes had never heard of before. That’s always nice .
