My cousin Jeanne is down in KL with her husband; Michael and their 3 adorable children – Alessandra, Isaac and Lucas. Hanging out with the kids…it was truly moments of madness :) yet it was really refreshing and inspiring. The boys charmed everybody with their cheeky smiles and entertained the adults with their silly antics. They have happy, playful and spirited energy…very active and fidgety. They are loud, cute, funny, creative, weird and I just love them to bits. Sigh. They really do grow up so fast!
One of the best things about being a stay-at-home-mom (based on my observation on Jeanne; she works part-time, twice a week) is that you get to see and shape most of your child’s first experiences. You encourage them, praise them, help them, have fun with them and you get to teach them other things like skills, rules, the bigger picture of life. Basically, you help them become the person that they are. And it happens in front of your eyes. Every day. It’s very cool :)
I guess crafting new experiences for your child is all part of nurturing their character.
