A few months ago, we used to see her near our house and just wave "Hi!" to her her. She is so cute, fair with short, shiny black hair. She's our Chinese girl neighbor who is as tall and as old as Tricia. She's often seen cycling just inside their gate every afternoons and Tricia would casually go to her and say "Hello!".
Then early this week, we gave her an invitation to attend Lyle's kiddie party. And from then on, she regularly visits Tricia in our house. She's Chinese and doesn'nt speak much English. But even with their communication barrier, they could still play and 'talk' to each other. She feels so 'at home' here that she would even eat with Tricia and sleep beside her for afternoon naps.
Then just tonight, she came to the house again. It was already almost 8 pm when she came. She helped out in putting all the goodies in the goodie bag for Lyle's birthday tomorrow and was just on the bed with Tricia. And since it was almost late, we were wondering whether her parents are looking for her. Her Aunty came and talked to her in Chinese. It seems she wants her to go back but she refuses to go back home. But as Tricia 'interprets' it, the Aunty is permitting her to sleep in the house for tonight ( hehe!). Of course, Tricia must be excited to have a friend to sleep over. Her Chinese friend was already in her PJs too and brought her milk with her. But after half an hour, her mommy came and asked her to go back home. She really refused to go back and even cried. It seems she really wants to stay behind and sleep with Tricia.
So, that's Tricia's new friend. She's also quite a lonely child since she doesn't have any siblings. That must explain why she likes to come here often and of course Tricia's also so happy with it.
