Have you noticed that the days seem to be so much shorter these days? Or is it just that my little terrors are just growing up so fast?
Barely a month past my last post, and my kids have learned so much in that time - my baby girl can now sing along to almost all the songs in her baby CD and use my iphone with great dexterity, while my little boy has become so keen on different cars and their makes.
Today, every ride in the car is a learning/teaching trip, with the two babies trying to outdo one another in raising my hair and stress level to the very top! I am not sure if the concept of "behaving" is too difficult to grasp for the babies of this generation - or my little ones are just exceptionally intelligent and naughty.
Sometimes I fear that I am missing on moments - and that's from someone who never gets out of the house without one form of camera to snap pictures with. The growth spurt is just so fast, and I pray, and wish that I have captured as much representation as I can on digital data.
Today, both my babies can use touchscreen phones and navigate YouTube seamlessly, the only thing limiting them is their inability to write and spell words. Baby girl would come up to me and say, "Mommy hello kitty please" or "Barbie" - simple instructions to search for those baby friendly videos she loves to watch. When before she was satisfied with Dora's adventures, now she wants to learn and see baby cooking videos and styling tips. And my son? He used to sleep the day away, but now he's in a constant tug of war with ate to see who will get the chance to use mom's iphone (of course, so far he's always losing out).
Funny but when previous generations had wooden toys and baby bears to entertain the kids, the generation now is just into visual and advanced stuff. I better learn more and ASAP about this internet parental control - or there just may be more things to raise my hair on end by next post.
