One day at a time.

Balance . . .

****4 YEARS LATER****

"Mommy" Nalo taps me. 

"Hmmm" I open my eyes and look at her. 

"Mommy Jassen and Seven not being nice to me" She says while holding her bear.

I sigh and get up.

"Okay baby give mommy a minute" I tell her as I get myself together.

"Okay mommy, I'm sorry" She says and waits.

"It's okay baby don't be sorry" I look at her and smile. 

"Otayyy" She says as she walks out.

I roll my eyes and get up.

"What's wrong mama??" Sev mumbles as he slowly starts to wake up. 

"The boys are being mean to Nalo again" I shake my head and put on my slippers. 

"Ima be in there in a sec.." He says as he sits up.

"MARIE CMERE" He yells. 

I guess they loved calling each other by their middle names instead of their first name. 

Nalo comes running down the hall into our room.

"Yes swir?"  She looks up at Sev.

"Lay in here and watch a movie with mommy" He smiles and picks her up.

"WEEEEEE" She says as Sev slams her on the bed.

Her little giggle was the most adorable thing on earth. 

"Well I needa get ready, Nalo sweetie do you wanna go out with mommy today??" I look at her.

"Ouuuu girls day????" She gets excited.

"Yuppp" I smile. 

"YAYYYYY" She stands on the bed and dances. 

"Sweetie be careful" Sev watches her and laughs.

"Otayyyy" She falls on the bed and giggles.

"Lord... Let mommy get ready, and daddy's gonna help you get ready too" I look at her and smile.

"Otayyy, cmon daddy" She grabs his hand and leads him to her room.

After they left I started getting ready. 

****2 HOURS LATER**** 

"Mommyyyyyy I readyyyyy" She skips back in the room over to my vanity desk.

"Ouuuu you look so prettyyyy, matching sun dresses with mommy" I smile and look at her. 

"YES YESSSSSSS" She giggles. 

"Okay are you ready for me to do your hairrr???" I smile and get up.

"Yes ma'ammmmmm" She smiles. 

"Okay baby sit down in the mirror, Ima give you pretty pony tails" I start combing her hair after I spray her hair with water.

"Otayyyy" She sits and watches me. 

It was so much easier having a girl. 

She sat still, She listened. 

She was sassy with some attitude on her but it was manageable. 

After a few minutes I was done with her hair. 

"Ouuu I look good mommy" She poses in the mirror and looks up at me and giggles.
