I would eat a piece of pizza and she'd snatch up the crust. We turned our back for one second and she snatched the whole slice.....

Temi Picked a Fight With the Table...
...And the table won.
For weeks now, the round table has been quietly minding its business while Temi has picked on it. She's thrown stuff at it, banged on it, climbed on it.
Daddy and I have tried cushioning the table from her blows with pillows. She threw the pillows out her way.
We would pick her up and move her. She scurried back to the table as soon as we released her.
We gave her lessons in acceptance and nonviolence. She cried in protest.
Today, the table had enough. It fought back.
Temi has decided to pick on somebody her own size: Daddy's wallet.

Momfessions #2
Sometimes when we're outta Almond Milk and I've already started cooking, I substitute with Mommy Milk.
*I only do that when I'm cooking for T3. I would never do it for company and guests.

Happy Almost Birthday
Today my big girl turns 11 months. We're in the midst of planning for her birthday and it's bittersweet for me.
I love watching her grow and develop into her own person. It's exciting and I'm a very proud mommy. Buuuut with each day, she grows further from the baby that I wrapped in my Moby what seems like only yesterday.

I blast my music (or TV show) to drown out Temi's crying when I know nothing's wrong and she's just crying to hear herself cry....

How I Know I'm a Mommy...
Relieved to have her sleep since she spends so much of her time fighting it. Yet, I had this strange urge to just hold, kiss and hug her till I fell asleep.

The Price of Beauty
Until I got halfway done. Then she cried, twisted, screamed. You would have thought we were in an England torture chamber circa 1800. She never stopped crying.
The bottom left is after I finished. She realized we were taking pix of her. Thus the rest. Smh. That girl.
