I love these two girls.
I am learning to appreciate the differences between my two girls one is 3.5 yrs and the other 2 yrs they are both lovely and different. I am praying to God for discernment so that I can be able to harness their potential as two different individuals. I want to ensure that I do not fall into the trap of comparing them and neither do I want to set standards based on one of them or others. While discipline remains to be on equal grounds, I want to ensure that I take recognition of their different personalities for better results or so I imagine.....
I have been trying to think of how different they are and this comes to mind.
Kendi(3.5Yrs)-Our Sugar
She loves to swim, she can literary be a fish, she can stay in a pool the whole day! She swims in the Ocean as well and will even take risks in such waters
She loves music and can sing forever and will learn a song within a few days and sing the whole lot of it. She will play her toy guitar and key board and never tire of doing so. She will come up with songs that are only known to her and sing for a while
She is full of energy – never say die kind of battery and likes to go everywhere.
She will cry, when someone cries, she is very empathetic and compassionate
When she wakes up, she goes right into activity and she just wants to work on project after project
On cereals - she is good to go with weetabix-full stop, loves milk, had to stop her from taking too much

She likes kind of sour stuff, like lemons and the like; she will do well with sweet potatoes and arrow roots
Tana( 2 years) Our Spice
I like to call her Madam CEO (Chief Executive Officer).
She will sleep in her floater in the pool, enjoy for some time and then say-enough of that and wants to do something else
She appears innocent from the face – but beneath that face is a tough girl
She seems to love books all the more and will read my books and I don’t think she gets anything out of them, but will sit and flip through the pages
She is not likely to cry when you are crying; she is more likely to give you a face that says, okay it was bad but please -get over it!
When she wakes up, she wants to take her time; an extra 30 more minute in bed having some me-time and will then call out later to be picked. Don’t dare wake her up in a rush..
On cereals - she loves, cornflakes, rice crispies, fruit n" fiber and all the goodies that come with them, she kind of likes the variety. Her milk, must be sweet-at least some Milo in it.

She loves the sweet stuff, she loves cakes and ice-cream and can eat whole lot of it if allowed to.
God please help me to realize and appreciate the differences in these two beauties and give me what it takes to bring them up in the way of the Lord. I hope we are leaning to appreciate our kids as they are.
As mothers and parents its our duty to discern the best in every one of your children, and help them grow in their weak points while praying to God that everything will turn up all right and when their time to be away from us comes they will be ready. Please God have mercy on us and gives us the strength
ReplyDeleteVery nice prayer! I have three and I love then all in different ways just because they are all different... You need to check out this book "love languages for kids"... Thank you for reminding me to ask God for help.
