Adorable Little Rascals

Mark and I attended a first birthday party last night, February 3, 2013. Andres Mateo is the cutie birthday boy. We were the first to arrive, which was not a bad thing. I get to take pictures with the Andres and had some time to play with him. He's one energetic boy, a handful as they say. Around 6:00pm, one by one the guests started to arrive. Mingled with friends and met new acquaintances.

Happy Birthday Andres!

It's always fun meeting new people. You get to share experiences and stories. Especially now that we're expecting our little angel soon, I'm always eager to talk with moms and listen to their share of motherhood stories. 

As Mark and I silently observe the mischievous actions of the vibrant little boys, Andres and Malachi, so many thoughts came popping in my head. Nice and funny ones. How can one be ever prepared to handle this kind of bubbly little ones. Running and crawling from one end to the other. Grabbing things and putting them into their mouth. Crying one time and laughing the next. Could anything be more mind-wobbling than that.

While listening to the varied conversations, I overheard someone said that being a mommy is a 24/7 job, especially if you're a working mom. Being a full time wife and soon to be mom, I'm thankful that I get to spend my 24/7 with my husband and baby. But kudos to all working moms out there! Right now, I can not exactly tell how difficult or easy it is to be a wife and a mom, but I'm sure it's a tough and fulfilling job.

Kids will be kids. Being naughty and nice are just some of their characteristics that parents have to deal with. As all of the parents always say, kids do grow up real fast. Just like the blink of an eye, the little angel who came out from mommy hours ago, turns into an independent and mature adult. That's inevitable. That's life. As a mom, I think all i need to do is to be around my baby during his/her growing years. Enjoying everything with my baby. From the pleasant things to not so pleasant things. Teaching him/her right from wrong but at the same time giving him/her enough space to grow on his/her own.
