We all survived week one of double duty in the Ciho household. Granted we only had 17-month-old Kyria (KEER-ee-ah) twice this week, but adding her to the mix was actually a lot of fun. She is so well behaved and absolutely adorable. Kaiya is completely fascinated by Kyria. She follows her around like a little puppy craving attention. Kyria, however, is not too fond of her little shadow and I really can't blame her. Kaiya tries so hard to touch her and "talk" to her, but Kyria looks away and says, "No! No!" Occasionally, Kyria will hand her a toy she is done playing with and say, "All da." Kaiya screams with joy. Kyria also provides encouragement for me to keep setting Kaiya's boundaries and telling her no when she oversteps them. Kyria knows well what she can and cannot touch (testament to her wonderful parents) and I'm already looking forward to when Kaiya knows the same. Kyria looks at the fireplace, shakes her head and says, "Haa-t." Kaiya crawls full-force towards it and tries to climb up on the fireplace screen. Kyria sees my mobile phone and says, "No. No." Kaiya grabs it and immediately sticks it in her mouth. I know my sweet Kaiya is just starting to learn that there are boundaries in her world, and seeing how good Kyria is encourages me to be patient and diligent in teaching Kaiya those boundaries. Week one down, four (or so) to go!
