bedtime conversation

Don't want to forget this conversation I had with N just before bed tonight.

N: I wish I didn't have eyelashes (as she is rubbing them).
Me: But if you didn't have eyelashes, you would get all this mungee (dust in Korean), dirt, and other stuff in your eyes. You don't want that to happen.
N: You never told me that! Oh, that's why boys have eyelashes too!
(All this time, she has noticed that in book illustrations, cartoons, etc...usually it's only the girls that have eyelashes, and hardly ever the boys, but in real life girls AND boys have eyelashes. I think she had an epiphany tonight).
Me: I wonder why we have eyebrows, though.
N: Maybe it's...like for decoration or something!

As it turns out, I googled why we have eyebrows, and it's to protect our eyes from rain and sweat from dripping into them. Pretty cool!

Fast learner

Zay Bear is creeping closer to turning one (10 months right now), and I am trying to cherish every moment, every milestone, every smile. But he seems to be changing so quickly and learning so much! His latest delight are balls! He even says "ball" every time he sees one. He loves playing throw and catch. Just a bit ago, Peter taught him how to throw, and right away he started dropping the ball. In just a few days, he's started throwing it, and sometimes he will even say "doh" for "throw". We are amazed at what a quick learner he is. Like just tonight, the big kids were saying "nigh-night Zay Bear" over and over, just giggling at how cute he was staring and smiling at them. And after just smiling silently and watching his brother and sister, he softly spoke, "nigh-nigh" to them waving his hand.

T-Max's prayer for Noona

Just want to get this down...

The other day, N's tummy was hurting (as it often does these days!), and we asked T-Max to pray for her and this was his prayer:

"Dear God, thank you make Noona tummy better. In Jesus name, Amen"
