My Auntie Maria sent this for me. (Thank you Auntie Maria!) It is the softest outfit in my closet. It must be made of puffy clouds and my Mommie’s kisses. – Kiran

HONORABLE MENTION POST FOR OCTOBER 8, 2006

Stay tuned for our next program “When Babies Attack”.

Yesterday we celebrated the Autumn Moon Festival, a popular Chinese celebration of abundance and togetherness. The Festival falls on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month when the moon is at its fullest and brightest, marking an ideal time to celebrate the abundance of the summer’s harvest. Traditionally, on this day, family members and friends will gather to admire the bright mid-autumn harvest moon and eat moon cakes, like we did. (‘No moon cakes for me this year, but my Po Po promised me that I’ll have plenty to eat next year.’) – Kiran   

 …. Gwrk! Gwwwrrrkk! … Ahem, ahem … Rug: Not as tastey as you’d think. – Kiran  

In the afternoon, I like to read magazines with Mom. But unlike most people, I like to turn the pages with my toes. – Kiran  

Guess who came to visit me today? My Po Po and Kong Kong are back from China! – Kiran

What do you mean ‘We’re out of Veggie Puffies’? – Kiran

[Chew, chew, chew…] My Mom didn’t tell you? I’m training for the International Chew-a-Thon Competition. [Chew, chew…] In the mornings I power-chew with Mr. Catepillar and in the afternoons I hit the gym with Mr. Buttah-fly. [Chew, chew, chew…] – Kiran
