Spot the Difference

Zach and Coco are the best of both worlds for us. You can't complain even if they make your day so miserable. They are different and yet the same.

While Zach likes pizza, Coco loves rice. Zach has difficulty using spoon and fork, Coco is a veteran. Zach love's indoor, Coco wants to go out always. Dora was for Coco, Diego is for Zach.

At their early growing up, Zach can only identify parts of his body when you ask him to point it out, Coco on the other hand, can point and say it. Zach developed his teeth faster than his age. Coco is a late bloomer, right now, he has only 12.

Zach loves egg and peanut butter, Coco is alllergic to both. Zach has a great reservation of taking a bath, Coco loves our bath tub. He can stay there until his lips turned purple.

Coco has no problems taking his meds. (I'm thinking of giving him eggs and peanut butter until he gets immuned for he has no problem taking benadryl). Its a nightmare when we are giving Zach his meds.

Physically, Zach has a lot of things in common with her Mom. Coco and I has a lot of similarities. (His armpit smells exactly as mine, it smells like the sweet baby powder milk, not the spoiled one)

The same yet different. Both love TV, but only Coco can fall sleep while watching, a trait that is pecularly mine.

Both love cookies, strawberry, cereal, pan cake and banana. They are equally sweet and showy. They want to hold one of your hand towards their chest when sleeping. Both would give me their bottles after they are done with their milk. (But at first both throw their bottles come what may right after they're done).

Both bang their heads when they are upset. (We don't know how Coco got it because Zach stopped doing it way before Coco can notice or remember it).

Comparing Coco to Zach, he seems to be advanced in his age. Right now, we can ask him to open and close the door, get a new diaper, put his old diaper in the trash can, pick up this and that. I can even ask him to help me tidy up the family room before bedtime.

In the case of Zach, even at his age today, he simply ignores you if he does not feel like helping. All you could hear was the resounding NOOOO! A great temptation for you to spank him.

Children probably are like that. They are full of wonders. At one time they would amaze you, in other time, they would kill your patience. Their energy seems unending, yet their interest is short.

But we all call them babe.

ADDICTED TO BAKE

 Couch is not the place for an older person like me to watch tv. It only takes a matter of minutes before I sleep. That was what happened to...
