No Baby....

Of late, Kieona has been asking for another baby in the house. She said our house should have three children. Of course, her requests has been much protested by Kierra and the way it was protested became a topic of teasing by Mommy.

Just a week ago Kierra while sitting on the toilet seat doing her big business with Mommy waiting at her side, she said she doesn't want another baby. When asked why, she thought for a while and said, "If there is another baby then Mommy will carry baby and will not carry me anymore."

Mommy told her that it was a silly thought and whether there is another baby in the future or not, Mommy shouldn't carry Kierra as Kierra has grown up and is getting too heavy for Mommy. However, Mommy can still carry Kierra and Kieona if they get really tired and needs Mommy to carry them while they nap. After a while Kierra exclaimed, "Mommy, you only have two hands. I don't want another baby!" A strange exclamation right? So Mommy asked what does having two hands got to do with babies?

Kierra replied, "You have two hands, then one hand hold Jie Jie, and another hand hold baby, what about me?" I burst out laughing at this point, but the poor little girl had started pouting and immediately burst into tears.

Ahh, kids... I'm sure I will one day look back on all these exchanges and be glad to have been able to spend most of their first few years with them.
