Video is up from Peyton’s splash mountain. Another is here for Radiator Racers. The whole week, we’ve been surrounded by Chinese-speakers. The Tom’s did not, but Peyton was listening to it for almost 24/7. Brandon never paid any attention to Chinese when he heard it when he was Peyton’s age. Peyton is more observant in that respect, and after the first day, she started imitating what she was hearing. At first, I thought she was just being a baby, but then I realized what was going on – she was trying to fit in! She didn’t want to be left out, and she was trying to learn. Also, I noticed that Dave’s parents weren’t talking to her as much because 1) she doesn’t speak Chinese, and 2) she doesn’t respond to them when they do try to talk to her. Jeff is really good with her, and he will keep talking to her even if he only gets one word responses. Eventually, she opened up to him, and she talked lots to him, especially when he took her on tea cups. She started calling me “Mama” which is what Penelope uses to call Meg. Normally, it’s “Mommy”, but I think she was trying to copy her. I told Meg and Jeff, and they told me it’s not too late to have Dave speak to her! He still refused, so I took it upon myself to teach her. I taught her “Wo yao”, and she practiced it. I don’t have many words to teach her, but I told her I’d teach her a new one every day. We were only there for 5 days, so I was good with that. They had already taught her “Xie xie”, which she repeated in context. By the last day, she was even practicing “Chinglish”! She mixed her “jibberish” and English words like she was hearing. Maybe she didn’t know the jibberish word, so she substituted an English word. Finally the last night, at Dave’s family’s house, I had a fruit tart on my plate. She pointed to it, and said, “Wo yao this one.” She could totally handle it! I was ready even to teach her a sentence – “Wo yao bing xiu”. Very sad considering I’ve been around it for 16 years.
While we were by ourselves one day at the park, Peyton wanted to listen to the dixie land band. They throw beads on the floor for the kids who are around the area. She saw another family take a picture with the musicians, and she pointed to the area. I asked her if she wanted a picture also, and she nodded. I got her out of the stroller, and she went over to stand next to the musicians, right in the middle. She’d already gotten one necklace, and while she was up there, they gave her another. I was able to get the picture, but not before she’d already gotten the second necklace. She’s definitely coming out of her shell!

I threw in a picture of the cousins as well. Peyton loved the tea cups. It was thrilling enough, but not too scary. The first time Jeff took the P’s, they didn’t have much of a choice of tea cup colors. They ended up in the yellow one. The little girls were trying to spin the cup, but Jeff had them laughing enough to distract them. The next day, they went with Abby, who is smart enough to read the directions on the cup, and she was more determined to spin the cup. Again, the P girls loved it, as did Abby, even though they did spin some more. I think this may be her new favorite ride, only Dave and I don’t do as well with these kinds of rides.
