Two Little Kittens

So we were requested to assist Sofia in memorizing this 5-stanza poem during the school's one-week semestral break. At first, I wasn't sure if Sofia will be able to memorize it, but as they say, we tend to underestimate the power of a child's mind, and so I'm just happy that Sofia was able to memorize the poem in five (5) days. I let her memorize one stanza a day and on the fifth day, she knew the poem by heart! Alright, there were times that I had to give her cues. :D

Anyway, we were surprised one night when we heard Tallulah reciting the 1st stanza and some lines from the poem. She was probably listening while Sofia was reciting the poem to me every night before we sleep.

Oh well, these little kids really amaze me! :) Proud mommy, hehe.

Happy Halloween!

We had our own halloween party at home yesterday and here are the girls' costumes:

Tallulah's a harlem dancer, while Sofia's a pink witch - scary versions (hehe) because we had "the most scariest costume" contest. They didn't win, however. :( Apparently, my make-up didn't look scary enough compared to this (I know I'm a bad make-up artist! hehe). Anyway, congrats to their cousin Sabel - she did her make-up herself! The girls and their cousins had fun, as usual.

Check out their cousins' costumes here. Happy Halloween again! :)
