Personality Differences Among Siblings

As a mother of 2 kids, I can not help but wonder how unique my kids are. My eldest, a boy who's turning 8 years old is a playful yet shy kid. He's attention span is no longer than 3 minutes. If you would like to teach him something new, he could better absorb the new information if you teach him by making him play.

On the other hand, my daughter who is just a toddler is also playful but would like to have her parents' attention focused only on her. Any attention directed towards her brother would make her throw a tantrum. Regardless, her focus at such a tender age is really there. If you want to teach her some new words or tricks, she can learn it within the day and never forget. Amazing!

My mother most probably noticed that her 4 kids, including me have very unique personalities. One would be inclined to study, the other to play more, or the 3rd child a good combination of both. Regardless of the child's personality, mothers know only one thing ....they love their kids.

The Pinoy Mom

Do you have any idea how Filipino mothers care for their infants? If you are from the Philippines, the answer is a definite yes. For those who grew up in western countries, you may think that a Pinoy Mom or Filipino mother is too clingy for her baby. As a matter of fact, once the baby is born, we don't have a separate place for the baby. They sleep right beside the mommy and this may even go a long way even if the baby is beyond the stage of being a toddler. It's common for Filipino kids to sleep beside their parents even when they reach puberty. This is how Filipina mothers take care of their kids and that's how it is in my country ever since.

About my baby girl, Princess Ysabel - The Sentiments of a Mother

It's been awhile since I last posted something new here on my blog. Right now, I just felt I have to post anew. My daughter, Princess Ysabel is now a year and 7 mos. old. That's right! Time passes so quickly. It wasn't a very long time ago when I carried her in my arms and she's not even a foot long but now she can stand on her own, can sing her own songs and above all can play with her mommy.

If you look at my daughter, she doesn't look anything like me. She got her looks from her Dad's side. Another, she's pretty fair while I, her mother is tan or should I say darker. But she is my baby alright because she's got spunk, that's something she got from me for sure.

I have many dreams for her as with my eldest child, Ramoncito. By the way, let me add that her brother is turning 8 years old this coming May 23, 2009. I'll be making some preparations for his coming birthday next week. Yes, I am excited and for sure so are the rest of the family.

As what I've said before, I have many dreams for my kids. Watching them grow has been a memorable albeit trying experience but this is something I would never regret if our Creator will give me the chance to live another life. I say this based solely from motherly sentiments.
