Trying to remember.......

24 hours ago.....seems so long. Today i'm trying to remember the events of Hannah-Maree's young life till this moment... a young age of twenty months. She's such a bubbly child....always cheeky and smiling....even playing tricks on us adults. Even at this young age she has certainly a mind of her own... and her temper equals that of an adult. She is stubborn too and sometimes very headstrong. ...and all these traits make her a very lovable child. She is also very  cute and friendly and strangers we met at shopping centres would stop and say hello and speak to her. This makes me wonder what is in her that attracts strangers to her.
I still remember the day she was born. She was crying and crying and we had a hard time trying to pacify her. It was more than thirty years since i last took care of a baby and i was certainly lost on what to do. i told myself...'well grandma you have to start learning again'. I did ask a few of my friends on what to do and they told me they too had forgotten. One of my friends asked me to look up the internet for information and i thought to myself what a bunch we are......all career women. Then i remembered what my mum said about taking care of new born babies. 'It is easy '. she said. ' Three things would make them cry....hunger, or they have wet themselves or they have pooed'. Well, hunger and poo...easily detected but wetting themselves....not with using baby nappies....the clock is the detector.
Today Hannah is a toddler. My oh my, nothing is safe from her hands. She can remove things from cupboards and drawers....and she just love doing that. Today she knows how to get up to her little chair to reach high places......all these little adventures.....part of modern day of growing up.
