And the vocabulary-building continues....
Meimei did say "high-fructose corn syrup" the other day, but she was mimicking her sister reading food labels to determine which fruit snacks (an extremely euphemistic name for chewy, stick-to-the-teeth candies) actually had fruit in them.
She knows the letters D, A, C and M on sight and can find them on the computer keyboard. Nothing makes her happier than to type D, D, D, over and over.
Meimei wants so much to be like her sister and take the school bus and have someone meet her at the corner. "Not fair!" she tells me. She wants a "packpack" like Jiejie's. Although there are half a dozen toy backpacks in the house, Meimei chose to thread her arms through a string of Mardi Gras beads instead of a backpack, a much lighter choice, even though she can't carry much. But aren't packpacks all about fashion anyway?
