Nina in all her Cuteness

Meet Nina, the kid who I am absolutely and unapologetically obsessed with.

My brother put it best when he asked “How is it that she’s stayed cute for this long?” I myself don’t know the answer to this but I think it has to do with the fact that under all that cuteness lies a diva that would give Kimora Lee a run for her money. You’d think that after countless visits, diaper changes, sleepovers etc that she’d finally love and accept me but nooo... Not this cutie. She makes climbing Mt. Everest look like a walk in the park.

Now, because of her cute but stubborn self, I tend to get a little nervous whenever I’m around her. Wanna know how we get from this to THIS? 

Here’s the step by step breakdown.

Step 1: When you spot her across the field from you, yell with all you’ve got: “NINA RUN INTO MY ARMS SO I CAN PROTECT YOU FROM *ISEMBELE!!!”

Step 2: Stay strong. Just because she looks right at you then turns and walks the other away doesn’t mean you should give up. Remember, Mt. Everest.

Step 3: Think quick. Promise to let her play with your camera! That should do it.. In moments like this, there’s no room for logical negotiations.

Step 4: Once you’ve finally coaxed her into taking a picture with you, unleash the eager beaver inside you and try to make her laugh so that you can get that Kodak moment. I would suggest pretending to bite at her chubby, oh so delicious cheeks.

Step 5: Watch, in horror, as your plan goes haywire. Apparently the whole pretend cheek-biting thing doesn’t quite kick it with her.

Step 6: Kodak Moment.

Nina, I love you more than your diva self will ever know!!

*Isembele - a mystical creature that I’ll have tell you more about later. 

p.s.: I won tickets to watch Total Recall at the IMAX cinemas this weekend!!!
