Auntie Viv (known to Kimberley as 'Scarlet's Mom') showed Kimberley her birthday present on August 27 at Auntie Viv's home. Snce we were about to move to her neighbourhood, Kimberley agreed to Auntie Viv's suggestion to keep her present until we moved to our new place, which is just 200-300m away from her home. Then the moving, the schools, the school bus, the banking, the visas, somewhat filed that present away into the background. Two weeks elapsed when Kimberley next met Auntie Viv again. To our surprise, Kimberley asked 'where is my present?'. Photo shows Auntie Vivien helping Kimberley in unpacking her Barbie dolls.
That same evening, Auntie Viv, Scarlet and Tom took Kimberley and Kristine to TianTan (Temple of Heaven), a popular site for Beijingers on evening of Mid-Autumn (mooncake) Day. All went well until the way back. Kristine and Scarlet decided it was fun to sare the front seat in Uncle Tom's big Buick. Kimberley felt left out and gave Auntie Viv a hard time, by jamming the back door with her two legs. The stalemate lasted a while. Took Auntie Viv a lot of explanation and persuasion to find the Kimberley's frequncy. She was still unhappy after reaching home, but she began asking me last night if she could sit in front seat when she is 7....
