MEW IS DOING AWESOME!
I have to repeat it: Mew is truly art-talented! No doubt! She can draw pictures by herself and color them magnificiently. She can also copy down a picture from books as beautifully as the original (maybe even more beautifully in my views). Seeing is believing: can you notice the difference between the original and her work of art? The quality of my camera is bad, thus all the glittering colours in the pictures do not show up perfectly here unfortunately.
MEW CAN RIDE A BIKE FINALLY, HOORAY!
Learning to ride a bike can be scary at first, but when you get the hang of it, it's a lot of fun!
It is indeed another big achievement that Mew has scored at the age of 7: she now can ride her bicycle! No more training wheels! No help from Dad or Mom (all we could help was simply oral instructions and guide)! She learnt to ride mostly by herself during 3 days - amazingly! The disadvantage that we live in a high-rise building without any space for kids turned out an advantage when Mew learnt to cycle along the narrow corridor. At first, we fixed the bike to fit Mew's height so that she could keep her feet onto the ground whenever she was losing the balance. Then she tried to pedal along the hallway with one hand holding the handlebar and the other hand pushing against the wall. Once she became more confident in keeping the balance, she left the hand touching the wall to hold the handlebar and tried to steer. About 30 minutes everyday in only 3 consecutive days and voila - she can ride from one end to the other end of the corridor. Then we decided to descend and let her practice biking on the large pavement in front of the building. She became proficient in pedaling and steering her bike just after a few rounds, making left turns and right turns smoothly.
Mew was so excited at her new experience and we were also very proud of her. Learning to ride a bike is an important step in any childhood and watching your child eagerly mastering her two-wheels is undoubtedly a joy of parenthood. We all cannot wait for finding a new "real" junior bike with hand brakes for her.
Look at Mew learning to ride since her toddler years until now:

YOUR ANGEL
Author Unknown, Source Unknown
Once upon a time there was a child ready to be born. So one day he asked God: "They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?"
God replied, "Among the many angels, I chose one for you. She will be waiting for you and will take care of you."
"But tell me, here in Heaven, I don't do anything else but sing and smile, that's enough for me to be happy."
"Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you every day. And you will feel your angel's love and be happy."
"And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me, if I don't know the language that men talk?"
"Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak."
"And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?"
"Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray."
"I've heard that on earth there are bad men. Who will protect me?"
"Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its life."
"But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore."
"Your angel will always talk to you about me and will teach you the way for you to come back to me, even though I will always be next to you."
At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from earth could already be heard, and the child in a hurry asked softly:
"Oh God, if I am about to leave now, please tell me my angel's name."
"Your angel's name is of no importance, you will call your angel: Mommy."

Roméo Maman Lyrics:
Maman, oh Maman toi qui m'a donné
Tant de tendresse depuis tant d'années
Tu le sais bien quand je serai grand
Je penserai à toi Maman
Maman oh Maman le jour et la nuit
Je veillerai toujours sur ta vie
Je serai là à tous les instants
Pour te protéger Maman
Je te promets si jamais tu pleures
De te serrer fort sur mon coeur
Il n'y aura pas d'amour aussi grand
Que mon amour pour toi Maman
Maman oh Maman quand tu me souris
C'est un soleil qui chasse la pluie
J'essaierai de sourire au temps
Chaque jour pour toi Maman
Je te promets si jamais tu pleures
De te serrer fort sur mon coeur
Il n'y aura pas d'amour aussi grand
Que mon amour pour toi Maman
Maman, oh Maman toi qui m'a donné
Tant de tendresse depuis tant d'années
Tu le sais bien quand je serai grand
Je penserai à toi Maman
Tu le sais bien quand je serai grand
Je penserai à toi Maman
