Making up song words

Abi has started to sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star in a funny gibberish that she says is Chinese. She is learning everyone's names in Chinese and is curious about the names of the older generations (GPs, parents) as well as hers, Pascale's and Owen's.

Being at Yee Ma's for a whole day, she reportedly demonstrated a lot more independence that at home. Dressing herself, helping with making lunch and washing up, and going to her nap voluntarily (admittedly it was the novelty of being in a sleeping bag on the couch). Afterwards she enquired about Kau Foo - she was worried about him being caught in the rain while at the dragon boat races.

When she was "returned" to her mother at Por Por's place Abi became a bit manic and rough towards her little sister. Maybe she is just tired.
