Mei Mei has a Terrible Temper

Oh dear, this really does not bode very well. Today, Mei Mei flared up simply because Aeni took away her bowl as she was using her hands to play with her food. She screamed and after repeated failed attempts to get the bowl back, she stormed off to the toy box and got a hard toy out which she threw at the television. I was shocked, but kept my calm and told her she should not be doing that. Guess what? She ran into Aeni's room, screaming all the way and refused to come out. When Aeni when to look in on her, she ran towards the door and screamed again at her. After I told everyone else to ignore her, she came out after realising that no one will be checking on her again.

I certainly hope this is a passing phase and that she will outgrow it very soon.

Kieona, on the other hand has been a real darling. The past two weeks have been the best times of my life with her. She seems more confident of herself, happier, more sociable and independent than I have ever seen her. My, am I really proud of her.

Keep it up Kieona!

First signs of Vanity - Nail Jobs

Two tiny feet with nails painted pink

These two girls at the age of barely three and more than one respectively seems to have started their journey into the vanity world - by having their first nail jobs done, courtesy of Mommy.

Just two weeks ago, Mommy decided that it is time to beautify herself again and bought some nail colours. Kieona came home and started to ask about it, so Mommy had her toe nails painted. After it was cleaned away a few days ago, Kieona asked more about painting them again, and Kierra when she saw it asked to have hers painted too. Kieona told her she was too little, but Mommy seeing Kierra's disappointment and pleas, decided to paint just the big toe nails. After painting Kierra's big toe nails, she pointed to her other toes and also her finger nails and kept saying "want, want". The fun part was that they both never touched the nails because Mommy told them that they should not if they don't want to smudge the painted nails.

The two girls are definitely into looking good, Mommy have no qualms about it. These, are truly the joys a full-time Mommy - watching them grow and sharing with them these special moments.
