My children are a handful some days (usually the days that I’m tired and have limited patience), my daughter is ‘spirited’ and my son is just a trouble maker. He loves to make people laugh and does so in a variety of different ways. Take last week for example, He decided to crawl onto our table (which is higher than normal), stand and then touch my light fixtures. Well, the other two babies that I babysit thought this was hilarious, so they would laugh and he would keep doing it.
Then mom (me) seeing what was happening, would come take him off the table, tell him to stay off and carry about my business. However, that doesn’t work with him very well. So he would do it all over again and get the same response from his ‘audience’. Finally, in order to make him stop, I had to put him into his crib where he couldn’t get out.
My daughter is very exuberant. Anyone who knows her can attest to that. When she walks into a room, you know. She is a child who is ‘more’. More persistent, more intense, more perceptive, so it takes a lot of energy some days to raise her.
She also loves with all her heart. She gives lots of affection, she is very caring, she wants to help me with things. She is a joy to know and we have lots of fun.
She is her brother’s best friend.
My children have the most amazing connection with each other. I love watching them play together. Yes, they irritate each other, but when they are focused on playing together, they are amazing.
I feel so blessed to have kids that are friends too.
How do your kids get along?
