Hai Huong

So, bear with me. I love kids. Even my own. I promise - and I always wanted a large family (at least 3 kids). Well, I was married, had one son, got divorced, thuoc chua ung thu truc trang became a single mom to said son and decided that I will just stick with my one son. However, I still ogle over other people's cute kids. And I mean, I go all in- oooooooohhh, how cyuuuuuttteee! Such is the case with my 5 year old niece, Asia. I love her. Really - she is adorable. And I sometimes wished she were mine. So, when my brother and his wife decided to go on a mini-vacation I jumped at the opportunity to baby-sit their angel - I have the help of my son and fiance, how HARD could it be?

Apparently thuoc chua ung thu tu cung 5 year olds have very good fashion sense - and she has the matching ruffle socks to prove it.

2) Packing a snack for my son is simple: Water, a fruit, gold fish and a pbj sandwich. For my niece? Not so simple. If Asia could have it her way, she would want strawberry milk and cheese all day every day. Unfortunately, she would be sent to child protection services if I obliged her. However, it turns out that Asia doesn't like any snacks I have in my pantry and I have to do extra shopping to make sure she eats snacks at school.

3) 5 year olds need attention. WAY more than my 9yr old does. She wants to talk and show me everything. Perhaps I should explain that my 9yr old kinds of ignores me and I'm not cool to him anymore so he grunts when I do try to engage him in any
