姐姐 (older sister, Kiana) and I asked 妈妈today a lot of questions about death.  妈妈tried to explain the concept of death.  姐姐asked whether it meant that a person was in several pieces.  I listened very carefully and intently.  When at last I spoke, I said, “如果人死,我会保” (If a person dies, I’ll protect them).  When妈妈tried to explain that you couldn’t protect them and that you didn’t need to once they were dead, I said, “那我可以安慰他.” (Then, I can comfort them).  Then when 妈妈told me that was really nice of me, I added, “我也可以唱小小姑娘.”  (I can also sing “xiuxiuguneurng” (the song that I always sing to the girls to comfort them) to them). 

 

I was so very sweet.

 

We had fun at library time tonight.  Mama let me pick out 4 books even though I’m only 3 years old so she let 姐姐 pick out 5 books since she’s 4!
