My two year old has boundless curiousity and a lot of energy. She is constantly learning about her abilities and the world around her, building her vocabulary as she goes along. She loves painting!

If you want some singing, how about watching Malaya blow out the candles on her birthday cake. She had everyone singing the birthday song to her over and over.

Poetry by Priscilla Lee

yani's monkeysPriscilla is a very good friend of my husband. She lives in San Francisco with her husband, George, and two cats, Zoey and Little Guy. She has given us so many wonderful gifts, mostly additions to our ever growing toy collection. Some of our antique sock monkeys are presents from her. Another set of wonderful gifts Priscilla gave me is the permission to publish five of her poems.

The latest box of presents we received from Priscilla contained a beautiful book of paintings by Wang Yani, who began painting at the age of two. "Yani's Monkeys" was published by the Foreign Language Press in Beijing, 1984, when Yani was eight years old. This book is a treasure! The paintings made me weep, and the story inspires me to nurture my child's creativity.
