It's been a long while since I updated the blog with gist about the kids. The reality is that they are such big kids now that keeping up with their hilarious ways is a job in itself. And I am thankful for that.
With that said, I cannot believe that my mini-me, TE is only days away from turning 7. She is really tall and as always, very opinionated. She continues to put her brothers to task and because they love her, they are still swayed by her demands.
And for my hubby and I, we are trying to keep up with her voracious appetite for chapter books. On the weekend, the girl can read two books in less than 24 hours. We need to put a line item into the family budget just for the girl's books at this rate.
The other day, I made the mistake of buying some book for her that just was not going to work. My husband took a look at the thing, flipped through the pages and started frowning. He soon showed me an illustration with a girl talking about kissing her crush.
*cue dramatic music*
Gen gen....
Keep in mind that this is the same man who had a cow when he learned that his daughter's male kindergarten classmate had given her his number last year. Lol!
Then, I laughed at him. However, I had to agree that although TE reads at 5/6th grade level, any book talking about kissing boys is far too mature.
As such, the book was returned the very next day, sharpish. I didn't want any wahala and definitely didn't need any stress. Can you imagine if anything were to happen in the future (God forbid bad thing) and all anyone will say is "Shebi you are the one that bought that useless book for the girl?"
Olorun maaje!
Anyway, do you guys have any suggestions on books for my mini-me? I now have her reading the magic tree house series but in no time, she will run through all 37 books. Also, I am looking for good books that reflect her Afro-Caribbean heritage as well. Sad that I just can't find enough books to help her learn more about her Nigerian ancestry specifically.
Okay folks, I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Here's wishing you a blessed week. I wasn't going to put up a TTTEC this Friday but we have a young lady that really wants to know your opinion. So, I have edited her email with all the relevant info and will talk to her a bit more this week, but you guy's will get to chime in on Friday.
