>The work isn’t double. It’s exponential!
Not the most encouraging words from a friend after having their second child.
Especially when I had started getting used to the idea of being a family of 3. Three’s a good number I thought. The whole family fits on a single row of an airplane flight.
1) You’re no longer your kid’s center of attention You’ll now have some extra time to do something you like.
2) They find hilarious ways to entertain themselves — and you as well
They’ll find unique ways to play together.
Some children when first walking barefoot on sand may immediately start crying. Others, though weirded out may just wiggle their toes (and perhaps try to give a taste test).
As parents we can help determine whether a child will cry when faced with an an obstacle ‑VS- a child who’ll shrug off a fall or persevere a bit longer before getting frustrated.
My son’s currently in the “I want to be big” phase.
I want to be big so I can:
Time flies. Before I know it he’ll be doing all those things (and more). But one thing he’s been stumbling a bit with is counting.
