Some call it brutal honesty
We were lying in bed, I was telling her stories, most of it I make up then we burst out laughing and tickling each other. I live for these kind of moments - with the limited time I have at home to be with her. Then the interesting tot conversation begins:
Pristine: Mama, you’re beautiful. (She’s [...]

She turns 5 at school
Pristine celebrated her 5th birthday at school last Thursday. At first, I was hesitant to have that small party in her class because her real birthday is not until the 23rd.

Pristine: Mom, my friend got a doll on her birthday. It was BIIIG!
Me: Do you want a doll for your birthday too?
At this point, I have to say that we don’t buy her toys and she is not used to toys. She’s got some but they were gifts from my friends. We can go to [...]
