Happy 6th birthday to Rayzel

9 March. She had her party in school in the morning, and after that we brought her to the library (she'd been asking for some time) and then to Sakura for her fav foods.

So how has she changed over the last year? For one thing, she's more responsible towards her brother. She has a better idea of how to look after him, and I suspect she learnt more from her best friend than she knows. She can get rather forgetful sometimes, and also very careless, and often teaches Ruvie dangerous things (like standing and leaning over the back of the sofa) (and gets shouted at for that), but she is more considerate towards others, and of course more self-dependent.

Academically, she seriously needs to brush up on her Chinese and Mandarin. She speaks Mandarin like a foreigner, eew. I'm supposed to converse with her in Mandarin, but I keep forgetting. However, she's managed to memorise a Chinese nursery rhyme about a crab crossing the river. 床前明月光 is still way beyond her though, mainly because she doesn't understand what it means.
