Cianna now uses the chinese word bwah to refer to her rubber playground ball. Since my chinese-speaking mom watches her while we are at work, Cianna is learning both english and chinese. Lately, I've had to tap into my rusty chinese to catch and translate words that come out of Cianna for her mom, who doesn't speak chinese.

These pictures follow Cianna as she repeately shouts "bwah, bwah, bwah." While it's unclear in the pictures, the child is actually bouncing more than the bwah.
