Its amazing how time pass so quickly. And it is always the school holidays that I realised that the 24 hours in a day is never, ever enough to accomplish my tasks. Keeping a restless child entertained during her school holidays is really keeping my hands full. I stopped trusting my memory a long time ago, and keep a diary which lists down the activities, playdates, birthday parties that she is invited for. And its her activities that is keeping me busy. I would need to bring her there, and while she engages in her activites, i am whiling my time away waiting to bring her back or to her next activity. Nothing much on my own social calendar though, haha.
Nic seems to be coming out of her shell these days, and is becoming more extrovated and confident these days. She speaks her mind, though she may sometimes go overboard, especially with the adults. I am glad for her new-found confidence. I also realised that I am beginning to talk to her more as an individual, not so much as a parent-child. She enjoys talking to me about fashion, and loves clothes. Here she is posing in a Gymboree Toga top from my shop
She has also found a good friend in school, and the girls have been chatting quite a bit over the phone and online, and visiting each others home. I do hope that both of them will continue to maintain their friendship, even though they may be in different classes next year.
As an only child, I really do hope that along life's journey, Nic will find friends that will be like the siblings that she do not have. Firm friends who will stand by her and support her during those rocky patches along her life's pathway.
I pray all the time that she will be blessed with great friends like mine, and long lasting friendshsips like mine, one of which started way back when we were just 6 years old. :)
To my dear friends, you know who you are....THANK YOU!
