Annabelle is 5 years old already. Praise God that she has grown to be a good sister to both Clarissa and Barnabas. I enjoyed watching her taking care of her sister and brother in a very loving and caring way. Well, of course there are times when they will fight (Clarissa and Annabelle) but overall Annabelle is more of the gentle spirit. The opposite is Clarissa who wants thing her way. She would just grab the snacks or toys from her brother or even Annabelle. Barnabas is just watching, observing and immitating what he learnt from his sisters.
I enjoyed being with all of them. Both Annabelle and Clarissa would want to sit with their daddy. Barnabas is more sticky to his mummy than to me. But nowadays he has been willing to be with me more often which is great. He would greet me when I reached home and willing to give me a hug which I treasure most.
Clarissa though seems tough outside, is still very gentle and soft inside. She still wants to have the comfort and security of being in the arms of her daddy. I loves it when she comes to me, climb on my lap and makes herself comfortable, sucking her finger while holding her 'bantal busuk'. I wonder whether I ever did that to my father.
