Gan, Rose,
eh my elder girl i carried and walked until 10mths old!! talk abt aerobic exercise and weight lifting everyday 3 times a day....
Every child is different. My younger one is (wait..cover her ears first
) soooooo much easier than my elder. Most of the time she can sleep by herself, she enjoys sitting in the pram and rocker. and is just basically so much more chill.
My elder one is super high needs. now at 3yrs old she still take 45mins to finish her meals, with me nagging every 5min. she constipates very easily so need to keep forcing her to drink water and eat fruits. she has very bad eczema, so twice a day hv to apply moisturiser and steroid cream on her whole body. At night she still wakes up to look for me and i hv to hold her hand for her to go back to sleep.
But, she is very guai behaviour wise and will prob be the one who will still stick close to me when i'm old. She is very affectionate and frequently hugs and kisses me and tells me "mummy i love u".
My younger, i dunno, too early to tell yet.
So, at the end of the day, they're both my kids and whatever shape, size and attitude they come in I will just have to deal with it.
