2.5

There's only been mention of miranda's daughter once or twice. Moesha's 8, an exact duplicate of miranda in look and demeanor. Clearly a budding kajira to anyone that knows what to look for. Shortly after they'd joined the house Master dubbed her 2.5. Shayla's #1, miranda's #2, and moesha, since she's not full grown, is 2.5. She's the image of her mother, in personality as well as looks. And has melded into the family and the dynamic here in Master's home so seamlessly it's as if she was born to it.

It's still been an adjustment for her. Master expects miranda and shayla to give our best in things, and we're regularly challenged in our service to him. Moesha's no different in being challenged. She's bright, learns readily, yet hadn't learned how to really focus on things until she got here. It's something she's still learning how to do. But that's to be expected with someone her age.

In the meantime she's a typical kid, liking to watch tv too much, plays in the yard with the sprinkler, loves burnt (yes, burnt, to the point of blackened) grilled-cheese sandwiches, & volunteers to help shayla out in the kitchen. She's developed a fascination for baking breads, & is routinely right at shayla's elbow (if not closer) when something's going on in the kitchen. Often she'll help with whatever's taking place in the house.

This is the most stable, healthiest home she's ever been in, and is positively thriving in it. Shortly after she arrived she began calling Master 'Daddy', and it's stuck. We all love hearing her call him that. This afternoon she and shayla were outside, playing ball and then dousing each other with the sprinkler, then she volunteered to wash the car while shayla took care of a few things in the house. We've been home-schooling her for a month now, and in that time she's learned more than in the same period that she did while school was in session. Master plans what needs to be done, and shayla puts moesha through her studies at least 2 1/2 hours a day, though often more.

She's like another daughter to Master and shayla. And is having the time of her life with her 2 mommies & daddy. Master's more than once spoken of the positive aspects of extended families, and this is certainly a good case. Two adults working out of the house, the third taking care of the home front and child(ren). Stable, tight-knit.
