Alicia and Jason came by yesterday for a little while to hang out. Bryan was very excited to see them again. He gave Jason a special nickname: “Uncle B.” Unfortunately his desire for a good nap won over his excitement, and he had to take a break.
When Bryan woke up, Jason and Alicia had already left. But from the living room, I could hear when Bryan woke up, his first words were: “Ah-yi, un, un, Uncle B!” (Ah-yi is an endeared name for “aunt” in Mandarin). He was sooooo disappointed that he missed seeing them!
Sometimes it’s interesting to observe little children’s emotions and reactions towards certain situations. In Bryan’s case, he was utterly shocked that Jason and Alicia disappeared! It was unfathomable to his little mind. His face looked as if he was saying: “Get out! What do you mean they’d gone home? There were just here!”
