Those Great Moments

Don't you all just love kids, more specially if those kids belong to you. When we had our first babies, it was a new level for us as individuals. And we learned lots of new things on being the so called "Parents". Parenting is a continuous responsibility and can never be turned off. Back when we were children, we probably never understand why our parents made some questionable actions for us but once we take that step on being a parent, we knew that we'll soon understand a lot of things, we knew there is something new to learn. We knew things and we begun to be afraid sometimes. Afraid of the bad things we did that could come back to us from our children.

Experience of a Lifetime

Whatever is good and perfect comes down to us from God our Father, who created all the lights in the heavens. He never changes or casts a shifting shadow. – James 1: 17 (NLT)

Being a father-at-home made me realize a lot of things and experience some great things as well. Losing a job could probably be a big deal for someone specially to a parent father - actually, at first - it was a big deal for me but time goes by I began to see great things.

Blessing of a father-children bondage

This would probably be the best ever blessing a father-at-home could ever have. I remember back when Ize (my eldest son) was still a baby, my wife is the one caring for him personally while I word at the office. I often get frustrated when I try to make Ize laugh, he just kept on ignoring me or he just don't want to react on my effort to make him laugh. With Noah (my second and youngest son) it was almost a no-effort to make him smile even to make him laugh; now Leah's the one who gets frustrated. Nothing beats the joy and happiness brought to us by our loving children.

The Five Important Baby Words, AMAZING!

This morning I was chatting with my Mom and my sister and had an exchanged greetings. Afterwards, my sister shared a video to me about a woman who supposedly discovered 5 important words that babies say to their guardian which were actually baby's reflexes. I watched the video and was amazed at how familiar the words are to me because we always here Encee here it. So to test if it is true, I tried to memorize the words or sound's meaning. 

Here they are: 

neh - the baby is hungry 

eh - the baby wants to burp 

heh - a very common sound I hear from Encee which means discomfort, mostly about their diapers being full 

owh - the baby is sleepy 

eair - the baby has gas or they are having some stomach ache 

After watching the video, I kept in my mind the words I've learned and try to really listen to Encee's words and was really amazed. The first words I've heard was "Neh" which means he is hungry. I gave him milk immediately and was more amazed that he really was hungry. It followed the words "eh", "heh" and "eair" and like Priscilla Dunstan said - our babies do really communicate to us and what all she said was true. 

Here is the video of her being interviewed by Oprah.  

Amazing isn't it? I really am going to need this since I am going to be an at home Dad from now on. God bless to all and thanks for visiting.

Should I Spank my Child?

A child's success is a parent's success as well but when they fail we parents asks ourselves sometimes "where have we failed?". Their greatness reflects the values we teach them and of course their misbehaviours as well. Was it really the parent's fault if a child misbehaves?

First of all, the children may be learning a lot of things at school but HOME is where they learn most of their behaviours. It is our duty as parents to correct our children if we see our child's misdeeds. If we lack the effort to correct these misbehaviours, it will lead to bad attitudes.
