Dear Ma Ma:

Today I started learning to play the piano with Mai Mai. I learned the beginning of My Favorite Things from The Sound of Music and I even played it for Da Da and Auntie and Brian and Brian's mama over the phone. Ba Ba made a movie of me playing and said I could put it on the blog, but I wouldn't let him. Then I changed my mind and let him.

Last night I took a bath and turned on the water jets and some gook came out. Mai Mai said they hadn't used the jets for fifteen years and she had better put something in to clean them out. We also made cookies and Ba Ba ate too many of them. Today Ba Ba took my skirt up to the attic and mended all the holes on the sewing machine.

We're going to leave soon to go back into NYC and have dinner with Da Da. I love you a million, trillion, zillion times.

Julia
