Sidney and her new choppers. She is now 14 months old and is quite a talker with her own way of speaking. I was talking on the phone with her today but she didn’t say much to me. She likes to say “Sa Thou” when she wants something. Now she also bows down and does the “nop” and saying “sa thou” for food or anything else that she wants. I heard she is quite spoiled being the first born and all. Just wait till I get to Laos and I will get things in order. :)

My Grand-Mama likes to make offerings and take part in the ancient tradition of Morning Alms Giving. The money she received from her sons in the US and from me usually goes to the local temple after it is spent on food and on her betel quid chewing habit. Like the majority of old ladies in Laos, Grand-Mama chews in the morning, afternoon and night before bed time. As a Buddhist person she is big on giving and is one of those people that would give clothes on her back if you would ask her from her.
