On this special occasion, it has been the family practice to go over to the temple for a praying & offering session to my paternal grandparents.
While waiting for Daddy to lock the house door and everything, Ern roamed around the porch area happily.
On our way to Poh Poh house, Ern dozed off. It is a blessing to us to see Ern loves to read the Puja Book (Buddhism Verse Book) over her normal flip and flap books that we put in the car. The Puja book has no picture but words after words. Still, she loves to hold and if I am sitting next to her, she will ask me to read the verses to her.
Once we reached the temple, Ern was ‘charged up’. After paying respect to the Buddha and her Great Grandparents, I let her run around the hall area. Can you imagine a mother half band her body to chase after an active toddler, with a camera in one hand trying take photo? 45 mins later, an exhausted mother sitting on the step while the happy Ern still running.
Ern met a 2+ old Che Che, isn’t she has a beautiful eyes and face?
Ern was trying to say hi to Che Che..but it looks as if she is trying to beat Che Che, right??!! LOL
She is a mixed, according to her Yeh Yeh. At first, we thought she is a Chinese-Caucasian child, but to our surprise, her mother is a Thai. She can’t speak much like Ern but both kiddo run and played happily.
Poh Poh is too busy to prepare the Tang Yuan by herself. So, she bought some while also received some homemade Tang Yuan from our neighbors. This is the 2nd DongZhi festival for Ching Ern but she only get to eat the Tang Yuan this year. She gets to eat 3 because Poh Poh said she is 3 years old (in lunar calendar year age counting)!! No need to guess also can know Ern loved it (because it’s sweet)!! She didn’t chew the Tang Yuan but just swallow it immediately. Actually, Ern hardly chews on her food except biscuit. Weird huh?! We are still in the process of teaching her chewing.
