Lack of Privacy
We never had much privacy in our house. Fluffy and MeiMei used to come and go as they wish. Fluffy used to open the door with his snout and MeiMei would push open the smallest crack to get in and out of the room. Few months ago, Mckayla started to pull open doors. She was [...]

Tantrums
When I came home from work, my Mom reported to me Mckayla’s bad behavior. She wanted her ABC book and Nanny told her she’ll get it for her in a minute after she disposes the dirty diaper. Instead of waiting quietly and patiently for it as before, she threw herself on the ground face down [...]
