A Maliya moment

Maliya is very into racing me in everything! Going down the stairs, to the bathroom (at 6 months prego I go a lot!) or eating cereal. The other day we were having dinner and Matt finished first then Maliya and last mom. (I mean come on I have to dish up two plates, cut up two plates and refill drinks in between) Maliya smiles at me and says "I beat you mom cuz I'm a winner!!" I said "yes, you are but what does that make me??" she thought about it and said "slow" I wish this self esteem and confidence could stay with her till after High School.

"Cinderwella"

Once upon a time .... I was cleaning the bathroom the other day and Princess Maliya who was "Cinderwella" for the day decided she wanted to help me. ( We have been having some problems getting her to poop in the potty. So we made a deal if she would poop in the potty she could wear a dress and her princess crown -her favorite thing in the whole world- but if she poops her pants she has to give back the crown and put on long pants. any ways that explains the dress and the crown) she told me "mom i have to clean with you because I'm a princess and that's what Cinderwella does." So I let her help out. It was soo funny to hear her singing and talking to all the pretend birds who were also helping us clean! She would have them land on her finger and then fly away. Just like the movie! It was so cute I just love her imagination!!
