What I've learnt through our children

We as parents always think what should be teach , how to be a good role model to our children. But being parent is actually a learning stage as well. I become a better person or at least I am trying to improve my self, eat healthier , be more fun when I am around them,learning to love my self even more, and taking a good care about my self because I want to be healthy for them.

But what I've learn from them? What have my children taught me?

I've learn that they love is simply Unconditional. After many sessions of loosing my temper or yelled at them, they still come to me and hug me and said they love me. How many adults can do the same to you?

They will still smile at you and love you in your bad day, they don't care how you looked or how you smelled. For my children their mom is the most prettiest lady in the world ( I am not sure they will still think the same when they hit their teens but for now let me enjoy the "title" haha ) . Indiana thinks I have the most fashionable clothing ( hahaha how I wish! or shoes and bags).She 's keep saying that I look young and pretty but she wish I grow my hair long! :). She also said I am the best chef , that she wants to learn how to cook from me, or how to bake a cake.

And Maya thinks his father is the most intelligent man , because he can "fix" everything.
So basically they just adore the parents.

And then they are also very forgiving. With their peers, once they fight the next hour they are best friends again. Forgive and Forget. And that inspired me to do the same too.

I also learnt that no matter what , they always think about family and friends first. And My eldest daughter has show a large amount of patience and tolerance to others too, specially to me. I wish I can have the same amount of patience and tolerance .

I think the most flattering was when she said , she wants to be me when she is grown up. Running an Estore , Mia Bambina, that is famous ! LOL I wanted to laugh so bad, but I hold it. I just said my e-store is just a small one .But she said : No! everyone know that! My friends too! Ma , you are so good at this! I want to be like you, can you teach me?
:D What can I say to her? Of course I said : sure ! but you can do even better than me too you know!

One thing I remember, My eldest sister told me that during younger ages, children will adore their parents , then when they become bigger they will adore their Teacher ( other adults in their life), then in their pre-teens they will adore other famous person(s) or even friend(s) ( I want to be like my friends, dress like them, be one of them ) . So the parent's challenge is that how to make your children keep adoring you until their teenage /pre adult's life?

And I am always been very careful to make comments about others in front of my children. I try not to label people ( specially by race!), or to make them amazed by the size of someone's house, type of cars, brand of clothing/shoes, or appearances. That is , I must admit, not easy. But I don't want to raise a kid who is very snobbish and materialistic way to early for their age.

One short story that made me smile:
A couple months ago , we had gathering in my place,Indy couldn't remember all the aunties' names, So she wanted to tell me about a very good boy that came that day.But she forget his name, but I couldn't help to smile when I listen to her description of the boy's mom :
The boy's mom is the aunt who has a nice face that always smile ! And always speaks very nicely,ma! What is the aunty name?

LOL...So that is another thing that I learned from her, she can captured someone else' best featured, cant she? Not from hair, or body type, but she captured the "face that always smile".
Of course I can guess who is this nice aunty.

Have a nice week end you all!
