My experiences with children #2

I think one of my biggest challenges everyday, well no, every morning is waking up my little niece (3-4 year old) strongly enough for her to wake up, but nice enough that she doesn't wake up crying that she wants to continue sleeping...

Is so difficult, I can't get the hang of it... or maybe everybody has this kind of issues but doesn't say anything; I wouldn't know.

Anyway, every day is a strugle and it is not the same everyday, one day she wakes up nice and happy but throws a tantrum because she doesn't want to change from her pijamas... or another day, I wake her up and she began crying because she doesn't want to wake up at all...

So everyday is a new kind of bargain, negotiation, manipulation, extorsion hahaha that I have to apply in order for her to wake up and do what I want her to do...

Maybe there is no formula for this... I've no idea...

For starters, one of the main reasons that she doesn't want to wake up, and I think is in part my fault, is that she sleeps very late somedays and late other days and some other days at regular-kids-need-to-go-to-sleep time; probably she needs a strong hand in this issue.. (´._.`).｡oஇ()

I'll pay more attention to what we do about this issue from now on...

Kids are interesting beings.

Review: Érase una vez México, Tomo 1: De las Cavernas al Virreinato

Érase una vez México, Tomo 1: De las Cavernas al Virreinato by Sandra Molina Arceo My rating: 4 of 5 stars I was never good at Mexican history, and I never held in my memory any of the key information I should've known as a Mexican. But I tried to change this situation by reading this book, and I have to admit that I never knew that Mexico's story was this interesting. This book goes from the very beginning of Mexico and its native people to the last years of the Spanish occupation, and the beginning of Mexican Independence days. It brushes through the story quickly with small side notes and funny stories that makes the reading really easy and interesting. Of course, is not the WHOLE story, because its a rather small book but for people like me who really isn't good at keeping hard data but somehow good at remembering stories it's really nice and enjoyable. I already bought all three books in this series, and I'm excited to contin

Review: 神様はじめました 25 [Kamisama Hajimemashita 25]

神様はじめました 25 [Kamisama Hajimemashita 25] by Julietta Suzuki My rating: 5 of 5 stars This was my read for this whole weekend... I don’t want to add the 25 volumes of this manga because I don’t think that I read 25 books... Also, I feel like it inflates my book count and i don't want that, so instead I’ll just add the last volume. This is my favorite anime/manga series of all times... matching even Dragon Ball and Sailor Moon which are my favorites because are part of my childhood. I’ve seen the anime more than 2 times and this weekend I finally decided to read the whole manga and it was totally worth it, so much more story, more love, more things that I didn’t understand explained. Why I loved this story so much... of course... Tomoe. Tomoe is by far my favorite male character! He’s strong, powerful, feared, dominant but vulnerable, sweet and loving; only to Nanami, of course. I love his growth, his confidence and everything related to this charact
