Dear Diary

Another long time since entries, and again, I suppose my 'Financee left me and took our child' whining won't help.

Aquene isn't bothered by that. She never even met the fiancee, and I'm glad that she's still her old cheerful, fridge stalking self. Still no walking, but a lot of random talking. She loves some of the elves, they've come to help me out around the house while I cope.

Her current favorite food is blueberry pie. Warm blueberry pie, so that Aquene can throw it around the room and make it a nice shade of blueberry! ...fantastic new habit there, really.

HEr wings still amuse me. I don't know how many people get freaked out when they see wings fluttering through the backs of chairs, but the elves certinally did when they first came.

Neith sat there late one evening, on the kitchen floor with a very wriggly and active Aquene.

...a very, very, very, VERY wriggly and active Aquene.

And around her, on the floor, something that looked suspiciously like coffee beans were scattered around everywhere. Around them, were all kinds of things belonging in kitchen cupboards. Pots, pans, containers, plastic jugs, everything and anything.

After a few moments, Neith's grasp on the very happy baby was lost and Aquene was off like a shot, crawling away towards a cupboard which was now empty of frying pans. Once inside, she pulled the doors shut with her very happy 'Buuuuh!'.

Neith sighed, and started ot try and sweep up the beans. She wasn't sure exactly, but it looked like Aquene had gotten to the coffee jar, opened it and eaten some, spilled the rest. Sometimes the girl's curious nature got on Neith's nerves, but she couldn't help be amused at how excited the toddler had gotten.

She sat down, and started to write into a notepad that was nearby, passing the time till the caffeine wore off and the little girl fell asleep.

Aquene's curiosity is interesting to watch. For example, when around strangers, she's torn between being shy and being curious. If she sees something fascinating, she'll pick it up and do anything she can to make it do something. I'm glad I saved her bigger sister's toys, Aquene really likes to play with them. The ones that make noise at her seemed to worry her at first, but she makes noises back now. And on top of that, she can now TALK. In her own fashion, and it's nearly always sung. I don't know why it's sung, I used to sing to her and she liked that maybe?

Although I accept that she's very shy compared to the other girls I've raised, I can't help but wonder if I should try and prod her towards others her age? It can't hurt if she's left with another toddler, right? I mean, all she needs is to open up to a few toddlers and make a few friends. I wish people would ask for playdates, I'm sure she could really use a few at the moment.

She also walks, if she has support. That's become a problem, a walking, singing curious toddler who has to inspect anything she's never seen before. I'm SO glad she hasn't been bitten by any animals yet, she loves chasing them on her little wobbly legs. She and Elle don't get along sometimes, poor Elle gets tired of Aquene's never-ending attempts at questions. Just wait till the toddler can speak.

Right now though, I should really rescue her from the cupboard and take her to bed. She's bound to fall asleep sometime soon, right?

Neith sighed, and put down the pen.

As of lately, I've had to try and catch Aquene. She's walking, and doing it like she's been at it for years! It's only a matter of time before she can climb, if she can't already. If she has, I haven't seen her. But summer is coming, so that might bring the right weather for outdoors?

Aquene grows so slowly. She's still a toddler, while Elle grew from child to teenager in the same space of time. I don't really understand it, and it's so overwhelming to be the parent of a toddler for so long. And I thought being parent of twin toddlers was hard!

Aquene isn't really much of a baby anymore, and I'm not sure if I'm happy or sad about that. I mean... I love the fact that she's growing mentally, and growing physically stronger, but it is kind of nice to have a baby.

And besides, with all my babies growing up, I'm starting to feel so OLD.

She still has that forehead jewel, and I'm so proud of it. It's the same colour as mine now! ...true, I think that's Aquene's doing with her many crayons. She loves to color the smooth surface of it. And she loves face paints, even though she's terrible at painting. Aquene's started to take a really obsessive interest in some types of music. A good example of that is ... I've forgotten her name, but she's the one who wrote Marco Polo? Her, and Enya. It's really strange. You'll have Elle upstairs playing some horrible music, and me, Filix and Aquene downstairs listening to these beautiful pieces of music.

I'm not around as much as I want to be. I'm in Filix's land a lot, and I'm never sure why. Ever since Winny was taken away, I've been fighting depression, and I've been having a lot of blackouts. I've found myself in places I don't remember being. Elle's so good to Aquene, she'll take care of her if I'm not around.

Still, Aquene's trying to be independent. She's still curious, absorbs everything and anything that grabs her attention, loves to watch the Discovery Channel (...is that normal?!) and paints. Everything. I gave up trying to keep her walls clean, and instead, painted them a shocking white. It's kinda nice really, a bit like a growth chart. Those scribbles down there are when she couldn't stand. Those ones are when she could stand. Those ones are when she discovered she could push her little chair around and stand on it, as long as I wasn't around...

After a look around at the used toys that Aquene has, and her handmedown stuff.... I decided it was time we went shopping!

I bought fabric for some things I wanted to make, including a pattern and materials for a doll. It's a really cute doll, and not hard to make. I'll add some pictures of her new clothes soon, and she has a new necklace that she adores. I won't let her wear it, but I'll fix around the doll's neck for now.

(Seeing as Gaia's decided I can only view one page of it)

Aquene is babysat by Elle that day, both at the GMFC. Also there is Cyrus and Zita, so while Elle and Cyrus talk, Aquene and Zita get to know each other a tiny bit.
