Fashionista

Gianna had another terrible-two moment last night. She was in her pyjamas, and we went out for a stroll in the neighborhood prior to having dinner. When I saw that there were people in the chapel, I asked her if she wanted to say hi to Mama Mary.

She said yes, she wanted to, but she has to go home first to change. I said it was okay, because other kids were in their pambahay, too, and there was no Mass anyway. She started whimpering, and the moment we entered the chapel, she made it clear that I wasn't going to have my way.

First, she tried to take off her clothes. When that didn't work, she started biting her pyjama top's strap, all the while whining "bihis, bihis, bihis." No amount of assurance can convince her that what she was wearing was okay.

When we got home [we had to make an early exit because her whining and her whimpering were already reaching annoying levels], she made for her closet, picked out a dressy shirt, asked her yaya to put it on and declared "I'm going out now, Mama."

"Out," this time, was at the neighbor's, which was just two houses away.

Hehehe..terrible two's na nga. I'm going through exactly the same thing with Adi. Ganun din, when she's in her pj's she will ask to change to a "formal" dress and wear that to sleep. Or sometimes nakapalda at sneakers pa. It's cute but it can get annoying din :)

Nakakatawa naman. The priests who handle the church's dress code will be so pleased.

It amazes me to see kids dress like mini adults. How come that was not the fashion when we were growing up?

Omg, two years old and knows her own mind and asserts it. Pero oo nga naman. She will visit a very important lady. She should be at her best. :)
