Of Tricia's INdependence and Being with the Ates

My li'l girl is only 4 years old but it seems that she's growing up too fast ...

Since her favorite 'ates' were here for the weekend. She always kept close with them and even asked me and my Hubby if she could sleep with her Tabi Ate and Debo Ate. So, we agreed and thought that maybe she'll change her mind. But she didn't instead she took all her night clothes and milk with her since she'll bathe by herself in their room and drink her milk before going to sleep . And when I went up to their room to check on her, she was telling me, "it's okay Amma, I can sleep here with Tabi Ate.. You can go back to your room now, Amma". Oh , and she was shooing me out of their room! Ouch! heehehe!

SO, for the whole three days her Ates were here, she spent most of her time with them. She truly enjoyed every minute of it. Only then I realized that my once so clingy li'l girl has changed and found her 'independence'. A part of me was glad that she has grown..but a part of me still wanted to hold on.. that's the drama of a mom I guess. :)

But maybe she just really enjoyed being with her Ates so much that she didn't mind not being with us for the past days. When it was time for them to go, she just felt so sad and cried and begged us if we could let her Tabi Ate stay with is in Hatyai. :)

But anyways, just 3 more weeks to go and we'll see them again..
