Mikee is definitely a big girl now. While strolling around the mall, she didn’t want to sit on her stroller. Instead, she liked to run AWAY from mommy and daddy as far as she could. She had fun knowing we were trailing behind her. And when we tried to hold her hand she let go immediately.

Just this afternoon, we tried leaving her and hiding from her behind some stores on each side. We still can see her watching her and expecting her to panic. Guess what? She didn’t. She just kept looking around for us and smiling at people passing by. And still, she was having fun!

I’m not sure if this was because she’s familiar with this mall or simply confident that her parents will come back looking for her. I’m not even sure if I should teach her to be cautious instead. (Need some parenting advice here, hahaha)

How time flies. The next thing you know, she’d still be enjoying the mall, but with her friends instead and will never want to be seen with her parents at all. Yeah, because that would be uncool.
