Style over subtance?

My girls now have grown , and they show more of their personalities now. Indy specially,  I can see the character blooming in her. Some part she is growing fast but there is still the baby-ish personality in her , she is still very affectionate to mommy ^_^ , love to cuddle, and to be kissed, stay with the father, be the dad's lil princess. But then she also shown that she is more mature, independent and have a strong opinion on something that she believes in. She still need to work more on the responsibility part, and be more gentle to her lil sis. She is trying to convince me to let her color her hair. I told her : dream on !!! Won't happen!!!  ^_^.She is also a good reader , she has a great thirst for new book to read before bedtime! Recently  she's done with : Little rider ( a story of a girl in Amsterdam during NAZI's time, she has read the Alexander Graham Bell's biography) and she is asking to know more about Helen Keller and  Ben Franklin. I am always in the search of great new books for her!

Her lil sis, on the other hand, still is the  only baby in family. But she is growing fast. She just had her first sleep over! This is HUGE for her. She is so proud of that! She stayed with other family for one full day while I was busy with Indy's activity. She could ride the balance bike good now ( finger crossed she could ride the 2 wheels bike soon!!!), she can roller skates better  ( and she even asked me to take out the "baby wheels" as she is ready for the " real " wheels. She has a goal for her self this summer, she is going to learn to swim and be a girls scout  next school year!


They both are with an modeling agency right now. And I am not a very aggressive mom who wants to commercialized my girls. I didn't and will not force them to model ( unlike some of my " fb friends thought). I wouldn't do that if that is not what they want. I want them to enjoy it. And they asked me for more modeling job for them. I , honestly, not sure if they will get any  job in near future. But it is no  harm to try :)

Recently , we had an experiences , that actually some people do most style over substance. They ( girls like my daughters age) appeared to have privileged life, very safe environment, dresses beautifully, go to very impressive private school  but they forget the most important thing is live :
to be kind to people, respect other's feeling, and to show some LOVE!

This particular thing happened to someone my girls know and those girls also know. And  this person told me how different is my children comparing to those kind of girls. How she loves to stay with my girls, where she feels loved and respected. How kind and considerate is my children towards people. Well.. I am proud of my kiddos, they might not be the smartest ,prettiest or those who ride a great car to school or live in the most impressive home ever, but to have somebody else to love them that  means more to me than any other compliments .

is not when people praised them for they looks, or their intelligence that mean the most to me. But it's when people said they feel loved, appreciated and respected by my girls that what made my days!

 Have a great week
