kids, kitty & karate

I think this is going to be one long post. You've been warned.

I find it so cute when a kid calls out Megan's name and say "Hi!" or when she waves to somebody and greet them. I can't get over the fact that my little girl has a life of her own now. A life where I only hear about. Last Sunday, at the store, a little boy comes up to Megan,

Hi, Megan.

Hi.

What are you doing?

My mommy and daddy are getting something.

OK, bye.

Bye.

And they wave goodbye. Mommy that was Quentin. I've heard about Quentin. She plays a lot with him and I think they are in the same table. It's nice to finally have a face to a name.

She keeps telling me that Kayla wants her phone number, she knows our phone number, she said that she keeps forgetting to give it to Kayla. I asked her why Kayla wants her number and she said that Kayla wants her to come over to her house. But, I haven't heard from them.

While at the store, we went to this Chinese guy's stall, she said she wants to buy something and pointed to a lucky cat figurine. She adores cats. I have no idea how many kitty cat things she's got. We told her maybe later. We're trying to curb her spending, for her, going to the store means buying something. Window-shopping is still an unknown concept for her.

Saturday, after karate, oh yeah she's got karate on saturdays now, after eating we went inside to look around, the line was so long that we decided not to get anything. But she has her heart set on this little thing. We told her no and she started acting up. It's not that bad. She doesn't do the scream her head off, pull her hair type thing, it's just a consistent fake cry that almost sounds like a whine. Well, we had a heart to heart when we got home about buying things and she said she understood but when I told her Sunday that it was getting late that we'll get her lucky kitty tomorrow, she started again. *sigh*

The karate, it was so cute, little boys and girls, kicking and yelling Hiyaa! She likes it so much. Especially the part where Caelon, a boy from school, got a new belt. I think she kept waiting for Mr. Green to give her a belt that when the class was finally over, it was 2 hours long, and she didn't get a belt, she came up to me and tearfully said, Mr. Green didn't give me a belt. We were not planning to get her a uniform until we're certain that she really likes it but she really wanted that belt so we got her a uniform.

When we got home she tried it on and said, I look like a samurai!

Told you it was going to be long.
