Robby and I are back in the bay, visiting friends & family, universities and work places, & attending my sister's baby shower. 43 people showed up at her baby shower - 29 adults & 14 kids. It was a noisy and fun event.
I spent some quality time with my nieces, whom I adore. They are such amazing little creatures. They certainly need training. They need to learn how to speak to politely to strangers. They need to learn how to be respectful towards and play well with each other. They need to clean up their toys after they finish playing with them. They need to brush their teeth every morning before they go to school. They need to allow adults to have their adults conversations instead of interrupting all the time. They need to listen to their parents. But they are still pretty awesome little girls.
We were watching Madagascar 2 on DVD, & the eldest child says, "This is so happy, I could cry!" & before she went outside to get picked up for school, she gave Robby a hug while he was still in bed, and she said, "Don't hug me for too long, or I won't want to go!" She is so sweet and sincere sometimes. When we talked to the middle sister about her tendency to make every statement a question by ending with "...right?", we tried to teach her about having self-confidence. We told her she was smart, kind, and friendly & that she should believe in herself. She interrupted, "Jie jie (Big Sister) is always smart....she's ALWAYS smart... she told me so..." & Robby almost taught the littlest one to say his name. She would walk up to his iPhone, tilt her head curiously, and smile widely with four teeth showing. So cute!
We love kids!
I can't wait to play with my oldest sister's twins!
