Above, some new pictures which were taken recently. Letitia’s parents are staying with us at the moment so Maia is enjoying all the attention. She is doing really well, learning so many words (in both English and Cantonese), and eating lots of different foods. We’re starting the arduous task of potty training, but its slow going. She is nearly 21 months now and she already has a girly fascination with shoes, she loves trying on everyones shoes no matter what size they are, and then tries to walk around the house in them.
Spending a lot more time outdoors now its nice weather, and hoping to get the garden landscaped so we can enjoy relaxing out there more.
I’ve been playing Super Mario Galaxy on the Wii, I’m up to about 68 stars now, it is really an amazing game full of charm and clever level design. I can’t believe I let it sit on my shelf for so long.
There was big waves made in Final Fantasy XI last week due to the announcement of FFXIV, which in effect will be the successor to XI (it is online only). We only get to play some evenings these days, and it makes sense for us to do scheduled events which are fun and allow us to make use of our powerful characters we’ve built up over the years, but even that can be awkward if Maia decides not to sleep. The more casual games on the Wii and PS3 are suddenly getting more attractive again (at least they have a pause button), just need to find some we can play together.
Will we avoid FFXIV altogether? I don’t know yet, we have lots to think about.
