Two Boys And Two Totally Different Children |
|
|
Well my boys are nine months apart. Both look very much unlike the other, as for my hubby he has black hair, brown eyes, darker skin tone and I am blue eyed,blonde hair,whitest skin you'll ever see. My older son has his fathers coloring and my face my younger son well
he has my coloring and well we still think he looks like the mailman. :) Both learned to walk and talk at different stages, my older son is an eater, my younger son fusses about everything.My older son is sturdy and healthier.My younger son is more fragile and gets little things like exema and he got thrush and a rash from drooling under his neck.My younger son sucks a binkie the other doesn't.My younger son is ready to poop in the potty at almost 2 the other is almost 3 and he is still mastering pee in the potty. My younger son is a talker, actually more verbal then anyone I have ever met, my older son is more reserved and shy except when 100% comfortable. My younger son can play more by himself, using his imagination to guide him along. My older son likes to interact with others to play, involving anyone he can to play with him and gets a little lost when he is by himself playing. Both though are at above average stages of learning. Impressively the same amount apart for there age. I am writing this because it may be hard to accomadate properly the kind of love and attention needed to support two completely different children you love as equally uncondtional. I am not a master at this yet, and find myself still getting fustrated at times. I am 26 and both boys were unplanned pregnancies that turned into the most wonderful blessing I could ever of had. I have learned to sit back and watch both, when I can, to see what they like and dislike, how they are developing and I feel the next step of teaching would be. I have found that my one son, the oldest, needs more stimulation for his imagination to play and can use the same technique to play with my other son. My younger son just mimicks me and gets a little bored but can still join in. They both love books, but my older son , being older can sit and look and listen much longer. I have found that eye contact alone for my younger son while reading helps so much more, as long as I don't leave out my older son ;) The reason, I want to find things I can do with both at the same time, wich is very hard with 2 very different children. Just by sitting back and really watching, again when I can, I have through trial and error found a way of enjoying my boys and them enjoying OUR time soo much more.
