the sumo that is me

Hi it's me Chira, my first time here. I will tell you some of  developments I made these past few months. First, I am weaned already. It's necessary that I should stop to be breastfed I am 26 months already and should take my feeding bottle instead. I took my time and I am happy about it.  I start potty training and I am doing very well. But I won't go to school yet this year as they change the law that 3 year old kids are their priorities.  I can say some words and some phrases as my Maman talks to me in English and Papa talks to me in French and I don't have problems about it as I understand them both. By now, I am able to put on an article of clothing sometimes I make it right sometimes not. I could probably name about six body parts. When Maman ask me to arrange the mess I could and I'm able to do the tiding up but sometimes I could be stubborn I must admit. 

During the weekends we frequently do activities like hiking, climbing, biking, roller skating etc. I love it when we go out as I learn a lot from my big siblings. I am often introduced to many things like I learn how to interact with other children. Learn to wait and have my turn especially when we go to a public park. Learn to also defend when someone is bullying me. And all those things a toddler should learn. I will tell you more about me soon again.

sporty kiddos

Since every Wednesdays of the year we don't have classes it's sports day for both of us. I, Sébastien chose to concentrate on Athletism. I practice from 10 to 12 in the morning every Wednesdays. While me, Mayumi stopped to do sports in the morning as I didn't like to be in the group with all the boys. We are only 2 girls in the group which is not so great. But it doesn't mean that I do not have activity to do. Of course I do Taekwondo every Wednesdays afternoon together with my Kuya. Early June before going on a two month summer vacation we have passed the test. We have both the yellow belt. Kuya yellow belt with 2 bars and mine was only with one bar. Me, Sébastien had my orange belt and jumped to 2 levels. Really happy and satisfied with my performance. Since my sister is young she stays with her yellow belt but with 2 bar and jumped one level. At least she also passed the test and she was also happy about it. 




Listening to speeches of instructors and the founder


My instructor handed me my yellow belt with 2 bars on it
