One of the best parts of blogging for the past eight (OMG EIGHT) years is accessing my archives for a little walk down memory lane. And truly, thank god for my archives because my memory ain’t so great, y’all. Truth, I’ve forgotten actual chapters of my life from my college days and my twenties…can’t remember names, can’t remember places, can’t remember faces. (And no, I didn’t partake in los druggos…)
Short term memory? Stellar. (Seriously, quiz me!) Long term memory? Piss poor.
Archive surfing has been very eye-opening in regards to my kids, especially when delving into certain “developmental” periods. “Was Wito like this? He could not have been like this, right?” These are questions I’ve been asking myself a lot lately, so I figured it was time to do some research.
Turns out, the same time period for Wito included a bit of this.
And a little bit of this.
The thing about Wito, though, is that he has never been sassy. Dramatic? Yes. Possessed with the ability to feel things VERY deeply? Um, yeah. (Fantastic example here.) Sassy? Not so much.
Wita, on the other hand, is a little sassafras. She’s got that cool demeanor, doesn’t show her cards to many, and possesses a bit of a smart mouth. Now, this shouldn’t be surprising…I mean, she’s the second born AND a girl. What should I expect? Lately, though. LATELY. She’s killing me with her little quips.
Well, here. Just take a look at a little snippet of yesterday.
Do you have one of these? It’s a good thing she’s cute.

January 26, 2013 at 9:18 amOMG… My 5 year old was like this and still is. But I love her and I think she is going to be quite the leader or executive one day. She doesn’t take S$%# from anyone. She will stand her ground no matter who it is. But she can also be incredibly sweet and compassionate.
I feel like my job is to guide her so she doesn’t fly off the side of the road and one day she will be driving her own life at 105 MPH.

January 26, 2013 at 2:25 pmHa, I have a six year old like this. I think it’s a girl thing, I am pretty sure I have still got it, too ;). My son is also 2,5 but curiously there is no sass coming from him, it’s all full on amateur dramatics, arms flailing, tears and even, dare I say it, touch of the man- flu when he is ill. Lucky both of them are pretty darn cute.

January 27, 2013 at 5:41 pmI kept saying to myself, “Where have I heard this before?”…Turns out it’s what I’m pretty sure my husband hears when I talk to him! Your Wita is so cute…on me, probably not so much!
