My Little Chinese Soup Drinker


Little Bibou is just such an entertainment center. Tonight at dinner, she just got us into stitches. We had chinese take out for dinner (gasp I know! But we just had soooo much to do before we leave for a short trip to
Tunbridge Wells tomorrow!). I got my usual favorite, glass noddle with bits of shredded chicken in a clear(ish) chicken broth. I got two orders as sometimes Bibou likes it. Well, what do you know... she didn't like it... she LOVED it, and just couldn't get enough of it. She asked for more and more. In the begining, she kept going 'oooo hot hot' as it was hot, and would stop every few spoonfuls to ask us to 'blow' on the spoon. She even blew on it herself.... it wasn't that hot, but she likes doing it... I think also because we were just tickled pink by it too.
She had 2 whole bowls (not so neatly, but it's far better than her usual, 'throwing everything on the table' self). oh no... she tried to finish every spoonful. Not easy, eating slippery glass noodle soup with a small spoon. Then she asked for more soup! So I filled up her bowl with soup (and there were bits of glass noodle in there too). She got sooo impatient trying to drink with the spoon that she just lifted the bowl up and drank it straight up! She finished 2 bowls of soup and even licked it up! She loves her soup.
This morning, we taught her a new song. Ring around a roisy (you know, where everyone hold hands and go round in a cycle and then we 'all fall down'). She couldn't get enough and kept laughing and laughing. She'd jumped right up and asked to hold hands to go again.
We'll see you when we get back!
