What It's Like to Have a 2 year old and a 4 year old Boys

-

 I have been a mom for almost 5 years now. Dylan will be turning 5 this February while Mason is turning 3 in June. 

As I journey through this path called motherhood, here are the things that I have learned having to take care a 4 year old and a 2 year old.


1. At this age, they are very explorative and wants to test their abilities, so they will always go up anywhere they can climb and try if they will be able to jump from there. At first they always give me mini heart attacks, I try to stop them from doing it, but they just can't be stopped. I just let them try and I just make sure they are safe and remind them to just be careful with what they are doing. We already had one trip to the ER, nothing serious though, just wanted to make sure that everything is ok the time - will make another entry for what made us go to the ER. 😅

2. 2 year olds are super cute. Everything that they do are cute - I cannot seem to be mad at 2 years old even though they ruin everything, throw food, spill water/juice, they are just always so messy, but cute. 4 year olds on the other hand, copies these 2 year olds and try to be cuter. They are cute on their own way but they want to be as cute as 2 year olds. And yes, my boys are like that - Dylan always wants to copy Mason and Mason always wants to copy Dylan as well. So what now? 😑

3. They are very sweet, they always wants to cuddle and hug to the point that you wish you will have your own body back. I cannot sleep on my own, I cannot eat on my own, they always want to be with me. Personal space is just a thing in the past. I know this won't last long, so I always try to savor it, but sometimes it's just too much. 😕

This are just some of the things that happens most of the time, there are still a lot of things I wasn't able to discuss. Will write a part 2 for this soon. 💕


Love,

Karla

  A few weeks back, Dylan asked us if until what age will he reach or will he be. He recently got fascinated with age because of birthdays. So we answered he would be able reach until age 100. He got all excited because 100 is his favorite number and we really want him to live a long life. Then he also asked if mommy and daddy will also be 100. We said yes, of course and he went on his way back to what he is doing, we moved on as well. But earlier today while having our lunch, he asked me, "Mommy, are you still going to be with me when I am 100 years old?" I was shocked and it took me a moment to respond to him. I said, I may not be here anymore when you are 100. Then he asked me another question, "Where are you going to be when I'm 100?" I just said I am going somewhere. Being inquisitive that he is, he was never satisfied with my answer. He asked again where, then I just said I will be going to be with Papa Jesus.  His next question almost broke me to tears. H...

We Have a Contract for our House Helper

It is really super hard to look for a reliable and trustworthy house helper nowadays. We are lucky to have a helper that is with us for almost 3 years already and she is excellent with our kids. Lagi nga lang niya pinapatay yung mga bulaklak and halaman ko, but you know, you can't have everything. 😂 For us to have a harmonious and fair relationship, I created a contract for us to follow. I based this to the one Isabelle Daza once posted on her socials before.  Here is a copy of our contract: You can copy and edit this to whatever fits to your conditions.  We are also conducting a quarterly evaluation to check her performance and if there are any concerns. I hope this helps!  Let me know if you also have a contract for your house helper or you are planning to make one! Love, K PS: You can send me a message if you want to get a copy of the file. 😊

  It is hard to find time for your spouse when you have little kids that always want to tag along when you go out, but that should not stop you from taking your spouse out on a date every once in a while.  My husband and I agreed that we should go out together every week to spend time together and talk about us, set our goals, check what we have achieved so far, politics, other people (maritessing 😜), sports, travel goals, travel plans, the Philippines' infrastructures among many other topics that we may think of.  So far, we have been true to our words for each other on this aspect. Here are some of the things that we do when we go out together. 1. Dinner Date . This is the most common activity that we do everytime we go out, this way we can talk properly without anyone interrupting us every minute. We can hear each other properly and we can think properly and address the things that need to be addressed be it work-related, house-related, family-related, etc. It doesn't...
