Sidney with her learning toy
Author: DJ
I sent Sidney a learning toy awhile back to train her brain a bit. It was a Fisher-Price Shapes and Numbers Cookie Jar. She loves to play with it and likes it when it makes noise giving her prop in Dutch when she puts the shape and number in its slot right. She is so smart and stubborn and at a stage where she copies everything around her.
I’m thinking of teaching her English since she is in the right age for the Muzzy Course and won’t be two years old until next year in April. When she is two years old I think her parents will put her into a day care that teaches both Lao and English. That should give her a good start in life.

Sidney in March 2008
Author: DJ
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. 
Sidney in winter months
Author: DJThis past winter was really cold in Laos. It was a long winter months right up to Lao New Year celebration in April. It was said on the news that this year was the coldest year in the last 30 years. For many people in Laos, they did they best to stay warm. With no indoor heating, it was quite difficult and many tried they best with wearing as much clothes as possible. For little Sidney, she was all bundled up like a snow bunny.
This was Sidney on January 31, 2008.

Sidney’s first birthday part 1
Author: DJLittle Sidney celebrated her first birthday on April 11, 2008. Since her birthday was so close to Boun Pee Mai Lao or Lao New Year celebration, her parents combined the birthday celebration and also Sou Khuan on the same day. Only relatives and close friends were invited to the party. One thing for sure, they had plenty of food and drinks for the guests. I have no doubt that Sidney is being spoiled by her parents and other relatives.
