Chotoye Chat

Elise and I discuss it briefly!

Yumo jumps in too!

Volleyball!

We say some things.

Elise freestyles but the microphone didn't work so well.

Reading with Yumo

Yumo tends to speak to me mostly in Chinese, even if he mostly understands what I say in English. Sometimes though he'll use Chinese and English in a sentence. E.g. when reading he said - me jia you, which means ‘me house has that' so starts English and switches to Chinese

Big takeaway was Elise was braver than we thought she'd be. Yumo had to deal with not being big enough for some of the rides.

Daddy cuddle!

We do some more reading.

Elise likes these books, Daisy has an active imagination!

Yumo and I read a story together

Also, hot dog.

Elise talks about the banana laden book.

She talks about Zog by Julia Donaldson

We talk about Willy the Champ by Anthony Browne.

Yumo talks about some of the things he sees in a book. His Chinese is currently stronger than his English.

Yumo has a brief chat

Yumo plays a clip from the nutcracker over and over.

We talk about Christmas and I try to make the most of my premium subscription!

Phew!

Roast duckkkk

Does what it says on the tin.

About unicorns obviously.

Plus Yumo says some stuff.

And they have a horn

See title.

Elise's choice: Paw Patrol.

Hi again. A quick chat before Elise went to sleep. Hopefully this is the start of more regular episodes. We'll see…

Hi again! Elise talks about our evening out.

We try to talk about Father's Day a little.

We've just read Aaron Becker's third book in the Journey trilogy that's called Return. Though, at school the kids have been calling it Journey Number 3. It has really grabbed Elise's attention. In fact, it has grabbed mine too. I keep seeing new things every time I read it and more than once have got into conversations about it with colleagues at school.

A brief chat about scooters

Picking blueberries and waiting up for mum and dad.

Yumo says some names of people in our immediate family but not others!

Some dinosaur chatter.

Elise reluctantly talks a little about school.

TLDR: See the title.

Elise presses buttons, Yumo wants to join in, I put it online regardless.

Elise talks about pizza and Yumo lays down a backing track.

Elise talks about her new toy

Elise talks a little about dinosaurs.

Following straight on from the last episode. Lyra learns what scruffy means.

Elise gives her brother a new name.

We've read this a lot this weekend. She did pretty well!

Bit noisy this.

A trial run of talking with Yumo… Who is on the verge of talking. He understands what we're saying and knows what he wants to say, it just doesn't come out right, yet.

The audio of a video I took of Elise talking to a friend about a book we've read called Journey by Aaron Becker. Which I highly recommend. Still need to read up on how to use Wavelength more effectively though.

Elise and Lyra talk about Paw Patrol.

We talk about the time Elise fell off a swing.

We, briefly, talk about salad and vegetables. Which is apparently our families favourite food! Who knew?!
