Brothers from the same mother

People often comment that both my boys look very much alike. They probably do, however I don’t see it! It could be because I am so aware of their differences.

My first born started reading at the age of 2 and hasn’t stopped since. He will choose to read a good book over TV, computer or any gadget if given an option. My second one, at the age of 4, still doesn’t recognize the 26 letters of the alphabet!

My first born barely eats 2 fruits and 4 vegetables, whereas the second one devours most fruits and vegetables. My little one loves to pop his head into the fridge to check out what treasures are hiding in there J He lets me know when he is hungry and will grab a snack if need be. His older brother needs to be reminded to eat!

There are always questions/reflections … Did I do everything I could do to prepare them for life?

Am I doing everything I could do to prepare them for life?

I find that parenting has been “trial and error” sometimes. I mean, I learned to be a parent with my children. There are days I got it right and there are days I got it wrong. Today, I just want my boys to know that their mom tried her best and she is not perfect. And it is OK to make mistakes.

I am still learning and I am sure there will be few more mistakes … There will be days I will get it wrong and then, there will be days I will get it right!
