Movie 电影

A total of 24 of us went to the Cinema for Thomas and Friends, the Misty Island Rescue. Mei's Life First again. Did she like it? Again, to be answered later.
妹妹第一次坐在电影院的椅子上。她会喜欢黑黑的电影院吗？等一下告诉你。
我们一行24人浩浩荡荡去看托马斯小火车的电影，浩浩荡荡去吃面。友谊万岁！ （好土的口号呀！）

Swim  游泳

Definitely, this is not the first time that Mei went to swimming pool. However, it marked the first time that she attempted to swim, by herself. I mean swim.. not simply playing water. 

• She walked in the wadding pool, refusing my supporting hands.
• She attempted to jump in the water, imaging that she couldn't jump with both feet off ground on the land yet. No doubt, she fell into the water more than once, though most of the time, I was quick enough to pick her up before her chin submerged. There were once or two her head was under the water. But she wasn't put off at all.
• She jumped from the bank off into the water..... into my arms in the water actually.
• She insisted going into the kid's pool at 80cm deep, and wanted to walk in the pool by herself. Of course I wouldn't allow given that she's only 85cm.
• She enjoyed cling onto the edge of the kid's pool with all fours, without my support. A moment of independence in deep water.
• She enjoyed me pulling her backwards, forwards, turning around, up in the air, down to the water.
• She used the shower head to wash her feet and hand, and stick out her head under the running water!
• She wailed her heart out when I hoist her up from the water!

I didn't take any photo as I have to be with the adventurous girl all the time, and Daddy has to trail the bandaged Han Jin all the time. And silly me did not bring swimming wear or cloth for change, thinking that she will just wet her feet in the wadding pool....

In terms of water adventurousness, I think Mei is more advanced than Han Jin, though Han Jin just made his breakthrough with water a few days ago.

今天不是妹妹第一次去游泳池，但是今天的妹妹很大胆地尝试了很多。从玩水已经跃居到游泳了。

• 在水深40cm的幼儿池中自由行走，不要我牵手。
• 尝试在水中跳跃。。妹妹在陆地上还不可以双脚同时离地呢。
• 从池边跳入池中，当然我的怀里。
• 坚持要去80cm深的儿童池，还要自己走。。当然不可以，妹妹才85cm高。
• 自己手脚并用，悬挂在儿童池边，不要我扶。
• 我在水中各种方式托着她游，开心得不得了。
• 在池边的冲凉处，她不光要冲手冲脚，还把头放在流水下！
• 大哭，要走的时候。

很遗憾，带了相机，没有照片。一刻不敢懈怠看着她。

Answer here:

- Mei likes wine. It's not me who wanted to cultivate her love for wine at this age. There was a little leftover after a friend's visit and Daddy put it under her nose. Mei smelled, held the glass with both hands, sipped a bit, didn't frown, cried when we moved the glass away. Tried the same with Han Jin at night after another friend's visit (seems we drank wine a lot), he frowned once we put it under his nose and pushed the glass away.

- Mei sat through the one hour movie in dark. Though I am not sure she enjoyed. But overall she is fine with cinema. Maybe because so many friends there together.

In summary, her little Highness seems know how to enjoy life.

答案：

- 妹妹挺喜欢红酒。我并不是要在妹妹22个月的稚龄就培养她喝红酒。早上一个朋友来，爸爸酒杯里剩下的，放在妹妹鼻子下，她闻了闻，双手捧起酒杯，小啜一口，没有皱眉，我们移开酒杯，妹妹开始哭。晚上另一个朋友走后，我们如法炮制让瀚今试，酒杯放在鼻子下他就直接推开。。。
- 妹妹在黑黑的电影院里吃爆米花，喝柠檬茶。小小不开心，但也坐完了一个小时的动画片。可能很多朋友吧。。。

看起来，妹妹很会享受人生呀！

我这是在培养淑女吗？
