Kimi is almost 2yo

Just an update. Kimi will turn 2yo on April 26, she is growing up so fast. This week we started a music class, Mandarin, and next week we start swimming. She is not so sure about the music class as she kept trying to leave the room then got in a battle with a boy over some toy they were not supposed to be playing with. Ken gave me that report. I do recall the easter musical in the mall and she kept trying to leave so maybe live music is intense for her. Today we went to kindergym for the first time, it is a huge gym filled with all the toddler toys you could imagine. She ran in the gym and was in some push car at the other end before I even put the bag down. She loved it and it was great to see this amazing confidence she has. In the music session at the end she was the only kid singing and didn't even know the words it was really cute and everyone was chuckling with delight. She waves hi to everyone, the parking attendant, the little crying baby, any and everyone everywhere we go it's so fun to watch and heart breaking when the angry teen or people don't wave back. I sometimes have to tell people she is waving so they'll wave back to her. The fire truck goes by the park we go to and kindly waves and rings the bell she gets very excited and screams with delight. She really seems to understand things we tell her like how we flew on an airplane from Taiwan to here. She also has an amazing memory for detail. Our Aunt just came over tonight about the 4th day we were home she brought over a big polar bear. Tonight Kimi she was saying bear bear (brrr brr)and pulling out her big dog riding it like she did the polar bear which is down stairs. We realized later she remembered the bear which she has not seen for a while and that Aunt Joyce brought it over. I was impressed maybe it's normal toddler behavior but I think she is extra special. She seems so aware and considerate for an almost 2yo it is hard for me to remember sh is not even 2 yet. She also spots the tiniest picture of an animal anywhere and says the name often it's so small I need my glasses to see it and same with airplane sightings. The other night at Sushi she remembered Uncle Max broke her chop stix a long time ago (her first time meeting him @ Sushi) and asked him to break them again. I was also told she would lose all of her Mandarin skill by 2mos and not remember anything. Well, I learned a few new sayings in Mandarin and they really help when she is crying I can ask her what she wants and she can tell me for the most part. She does talk in English now and she is talking a lot, a few new words come out everyday.
