Meredith first play date


Boon Hong took Isaac and Meredith and Zoey to the playground near our house and ended running into Kayla, which is another one of Meredith's classmate.

Meredith invited her classmate, Zoey, to our house during Martin Luther King holiday. This is the first time Meredith invited her friend to our home. Zoey is one of the only three girls in Meredith class and Meredith constantly mentions her name when she tells us about her school day. So, we decided to invite her to play with Meredith. For a few days, Meredith was super excited about her friend coming over to visit her. She will obliged to anything we say, including finish your rice, clean up your toys as long as we threaten her with canceling her friend visit. Meredith also mentioned that she really hope her brother, Isaac, will sleep really really late the day her friend came to visit, then she claims that she can play barbie dolls and cooking with her classmate without Isaac disrupting them.

The first question Zoey asked Meredith when she got to our house is:" Meredith, where do you sleep? Can you show me your bedroom?". Meredith is very innocently reply, "I sleep on this small bed on the floor or I sleep with my mummy". Actually, Meredith uses a small baby size mattress that we took out of her baby crib. Her baby sized mattress is laid on the floor next to Boon Hong bed but nine of ten times, she ended sleeping on Boon Hong's bed. Zoey couldn't help but burst out laughing when she saw Meredith mattress on the floor. Most American kids have their own bedroom so she was surprise that Meredith sleep on the floor in our bedroom.

Well hopefully this will prompt Meredith to want to sleep in her own room, fingers crossed!
