Babies are difficult as easy as that!!!

I know you are thinking why i said babies are difficult? Yeah, I am not being harsh or whatsoever you are thinking. I am not a monster. I love babies (whose age are pretty much higher than 3 years old). But babies are difficult really. I have this nephew of mine who really really really difficult to handle. He just wanted to play all day, less eat, lots of play. He's a hurricane, a typhoon, a flood that when he passes to you, everything is in ruined. No toys ever survived a day without even destroyed. Moreover, you can see a promising future to my nephew because he is good in drawing, in arts. The problem is that, he does his arts in our walls, in our beds, in our books, using pens, crayons. (sigh) Yes! He is a creator and destroys at the same time. I never imagine anything in my childhood my parents telling i am this hyperactive, or they believe more in the saying "action is speaks loader the words" (laughing). It seems that he never ceases energy and that he is always fired up. No wonder he always get scratches and more so, he's physically thin for a three year old boy. Even so, it is understandable that his body cannot compensate the needed nutrients to sustain the healthiness he deserved. Babies are difficult as easy as that. They imitate things and actions, might be dangerous or not. Babies are like Scientist. They experiment.

Sometimes it is unavoidable to refrain the child by hitting and scolding. But it would turn out to be a bad way if you did not explain the punishment before hand. My nephew receives some from our military ways of disciplining that is sometimes I can compare the differences of today's generation to ours. HOLD ON! Laws are being passed to congress to avoid children maltreatment. If these laws are present in the past, my dad or so many father would have been locked up in jail. My father calls his punishment as "Martial Law". Once my father is saying it or warning us to something, we would run for mercy. So terrifying. I experienced the cruelest punishment a father could do to his children. But see, I learned everything (not the punishment) about the value of respect and love. I believe I've been a difficult baby after all (laughing).

My nephew is very special to us. Even though he is so annoying in some point, later on in his life I believe he would be laughing together with us as we share to him in the near future his being a difficult baby once. We are thankful also that in these way, we manage to love him and tighten our patience. We learn and understand more about unconditional love. Aside from the countless joy my nephew bring to us are the humors he teaches us. (short English like, No! BAD! BORROW!) We see that the care must be expressed even more, must be shared and teach to him without a feeling of tiredness just like being hyperactive with love. I guess somewhere in our lives we too become a difficult babies that puts a little smile to our crying parents.
