Cultivating Independence



Bit by bit, I try to teach her how to deal with the real world. Tasks like encouraging her to buy her favorite peach mango pie by helfself seems small but this scenario will help her:

Overcome shyness.
Clearly express what she wants.
Choose alternatives.
Budget and check her change, if any 😅

The stork will be busy this year

Almost everybody is either on the way or trying to be pregnant. My brother texted me an oops message yesterday :D just when I thought they'd wait for another year. God really has another plan for them pala talaga :) A couple of N@Wies are also expecting already. Yesterday, minnie and I met with J&J with little J, and they casually mentioned that now that dani's almost turning two, that maybe it's time for a second baby. If you'll ask me two years ago, I would have agreed. However, the more I think about it, I am perfectly happy with just one. For now, indeed I am, forever.. hmm.. we'll see. I thought it's just a matter of financial readiness but it's more than that. What I do know is that the time i'm spending with my child is not enough and I would love to cherish every moment every chance I'd get. Also, not forgetting the time for myself and for hubby :) Yes, I'm feeling a little bit of pressure, and I maybe convicing myself here a little bit, it does help to know and revisit one's goals and priorities para naman I wont turn green with envy :)

To all fathers and mothers-to-be, I am so happy for you guys but please stop poking me and asking me when's my turn ok?! :D When its time, its time :) Indeed, the stork will be busy this year and the next, but not in my turf.

Maybe self assessment will help.
