Imelda Marcos!!

Tia has great fascination for shoes,

the moment she sees them she slips them on.

I had to purchase shoes for myself so

I went to my regular shoes store.

This was Tia’s first visit to a store

that had numerous fancy shoes and sandals.

What more could she want for, one

after another she was trying on the high heeled

shoes and walking around with poise.

Ahaa! Little Imelda Marcos!

Etiquette First

Etiquette is what I thought should come first so, I introduced, ‘thank you’, ‘sorry’, ‘welcome’, ‘I love you’, etc. in Tia’s life. Once they were set in her everyday vocabulary, I started with the alphabets next.
I started gradually by often reading the alphabets aloud. Then one fine day I thought, it’s time I make her repeat the alphabets after me. It was fine till A to H, she repeated them very obediently, but the moment I said ‘I’ prompt followed “LOVE YOU”. I said, “No, Tia just say I”, again she went on “LOVE YOU”. Gawd what next!!!!!
