She was mad at me this morning because I told her she couldn’t bring her Pokémon toys to school. She has a habit of showing off her toys and I just don’t want her to grow up like that—materialistic, covetous, greedy. Worse, she currently believes that showing off her things will win her affection from her friends.

I love this photo so much I’m going to hang it somewhere in our new apartment. Looking at it reminds me of how precious time really is, and how comical yet endearing childish emotions can be. 🙂
