Nneka

I do not even know where to begin. 

Nneka Waithera Kilonzo, I was so happy when I found out about you little princess. I was the happiest when I finally got to see a scan of your face in my belly and you looked like you were just posing.  This is you in my belly when i checked in to hospital for your delivery. It was a LONG DAY. we went to PRUH in South London , you were really cosy in my belly because even after the water broke, you still did not want to come out! I guess you were not ready for all the drama that earth sometimes had to offer lol.


The first time I saw your face, I knew I'd be in love with you too forever. I got the same feeling when I saw your brother Tristan :)


Life is precious and so are you. We are trying our best to accommodate you as you throw tantrums ( you are now 2.5 years and driving us a little bit kuku - esp. me ) You love cuddles from mummy so much, esp. when it is convenient for you ( i.e. when you don't want to tidy up...'' cuddle'' when you don't wanna eat your food '' cuddle'' when you don't want me to dress you after a bath ''cuddle'' and then, the cherry on top is when you have been so naughty driving me insane and then you ask me '' what's the matter mommy? '' in the cutest little voice! I just melt!!! Oh Nneka Waithera, can these terrible twos end already! 

Cant lie, you are still very cute with them. Today on a video call with your brother Tristan, we really made him laugh - he was almost in tears. He saw you look for your grapes while we hid them just to trick you, and how your lied with a straight face about Khem hitting you - he was not even there so this was a big lie. You even went ahead to demonstrate where he had hit you and showed us by pointing with your had to your back! Tris died of laugher - I didn't because you have become an Oscar award winner in the household and I'm used to your acting by now :) though you do surprise me with new things now and then.
