Last night, Michelle was off to an office dinner so Jeanne and I were with each other from about 5PM onwards as Lola, who was with her the whole day, had to go sleep. We played till she eventually got tired/bored, we had dinner, she fed Mickey and Violet, we read books, we played some more. I tried putting her to sleep but she didn’t want to and got cranky. Or was it the other way around? She usually gets cranky when she gets sleepy. Eventually, as I was hugging her and she Mickey Mouse, she slowly fell asleep. I lay back and slept. So there I was, baby and stuffed toy on my chest, sleeping until Michelle arrived.

Last night, we were having dinner when we somehow skipped the customary prayer before dinner. I was on my second spoonful when suddenly, Jeanne brought her hands together and said “Pray!” And so we belatedly did.

Last Friday, Michelle got Jeanne a stamp toy from Jollibee. It consists of a palette, a brush, a stamp, and a bottle of green paint. While eating, we played stamp first on a napkin and later on the receipt. When it was time to leave, Michelle packed the toy up in a plastic bag and put it on the table when we got home. It sat there forgotten.

This afternoon, Jeanne saw the plastic bag on the table and asked for it. Then she asked me to open it. I took out and gave her the toy but since I was concerned she might make a mess, I made sure to hide and not to take out the bottle of paint. I put the bag back to the table while she played and gleefully going “(S)tamp! (S)tamp!”. After a minute or two, she noticed something was missing and went back to the table for the bag. What can I do? I gave her some paint and we played stamp.

Some paint got into her hands and shirt and when she was done playing, she asked me to wash her hands and change her shirt.

Jeanne has been doing slipper chores for weeks now. When I got home this afternoon, she surprised me by giving me my slippers without me asking for it.
