My Baby
I don't really talk about small child that often. Well I do, but more in passing than anything to really do with her. So I thought it was about time I told you a bit more about my little mini me.
So for a start, yes, she is a complete mini me. There would never be any doubt that she is my baby. You'd pick her out in a crowd as being mine. Some of my readers have seen pictures so they know what I mean.
Personality wise, again, she is just like me. Although her personality is more what I became as I got older, not what I was like as a child. My mother would tell you I was a lively enough child. I would disagree. I was always a well behaved child, I just discovered alcohol young enough and it's all been down hill ever since. I think my mother would agree with me when I say I got livelier as I got older.
Small child is a live wire already. Now, one thing you'll never hear me say is that she is a naughty child. Because she isn't. She's actually as good as gold, and she has a heart of gold. But she has a huge personality and it shines through. Everyone adores her. Other mothers love having her over to play with their kids as they all say she's a delight to be around. When we had to go through the whole welfare reports, one of the assessors described her as a little ray of sunshine. And as much as I do try to protect her from everything that is going on, it has been her that has been there to give me a hug and a kiss when she knows that no matter how many times I tell her Mammy is fine, she knows I'm not.
She's very entertaining to be around. She's the queen of the one liners and says the funniest things sometimes. I've told you before about how I bring her along to the local pub with me sometimes for a few drinks early on. This is more because everyone asks me to bring her out as she provides the entertainment. I find it funny that blokes in their 20's and 30's would request the presence of a child in the pub of an early evening as they enjoy her being there. I thought most of us escaped to the pub to get a break from the kids. Not so in small child's case.
And why do I call her small child? Because she's really little for her age, but ever so cute as well. Saying that I'm a tiny little thing myself so I was never going to have a big baby anyway, and she was tiny when she was born and still is. But my god she's beautiful. And I'm not just saying that because she's mine. Sometimes I look at her and think wow, how beautiful is she, and she's mine!
Unfortunately the one thing she got from her Dad was his brains. She's not the smartest when it comes to school and needs quite a bit of extra help. But what she lacks academically she makes up for in charm and seems to have already worked out that when she can't do something she just has to smile sweetly at the nearest boy and he'll gladly do it for her. This has caused endless problems for her teachers, breaking up fights between boys when she changes boyfriends quicker than the wind changes, but the teachers always tell me that she'll go far. She has the art of manipulation down to a tee.
Yep, that's my girl. And she's a good old chip off the block.
P.S. I've updated the private post as well. Bit of a dilemma I could do with some advice on.
