Mommy Love #1, Mommy Love #5
mommy: "mommy loves the both of you. you are my love number 1, and andi is love number 2. but i love you the same way."
raf: "okay, so raf is number 1. and andi is number...5."
***
raf to andi while andi's cuddling with mommy: "hoy andi, dili ka hulid ni mommy. ako lang hulid ni mommy. kay nanay lang ka."
***
the jealousy, of course, we have anticipated. raf loves and adores his sister so much, yes, until ananda tries to get mommy's attention.
raf isn't used to having somebody to share mommy's attention with, even daddy. mommy's always there whenever he shouts for her, mommy's always there when he needs to snuggle with her. now that the sister's here, and quite a naughty girl at that, he's finding it difficult to adjust.
now this little girl is a different story. she doesn't only want her parents' attention, but her brother's as well. she would even let him smother her with kisses if that makes kuya happy. she crawls to mommy's side as fast as she can as soon as kuya's attention is focused somewhere. she is not used to having another kid around, so i think it makes her excited to have someone who's more or less her age to play with.
to some, it might be a easy situation to handle. just explain to the kids, yada yada. well, motherhood expert i am not, that's why it's a daily struggle to maintain and make sure that both children get the same amount of attention. we have explained raf's role to him as a brother many times but i guess, it takes so much patience for the lesson to get to his head, especially that 10 months ago, andi is just the sister who's in negros.
i am hoping that pretty soon, raf would get over the newness of having a sister who's physically with us. so far, all is well. nobody has sustained any injury. hahaha.

kaith,i think expected nana na magselos si raf, maanad ra na siya=)good job mommy!=)
CUTE kaayo ang ngisi ni andi...nice to see you finally together.
@photosandmemos: they both love the camera chel. haha. im more worried that manggigil si raf niya. usahay masobrahan niya ka ka-kiss or ka-hug, masakitan na si andi.
@heartmurmurs: daghan kaau sya funny face poses norms. makatawa ka apil. hehe.
You have such beautiful children Kaith! I'm sure raf will get the hang of being kuya really soon.
@katcarneo: i hope so kat. i can't imagine the racket they'd make if they won't get along, or if kuya won't try to become a good kuya. hehe.
ahay ka cute sang mga bata mo kitay. nalingaw ko sige tanaw especially ang baye, daw nag pi-od heart ko :)
@tinay: mas cute ni sila sa personal tin. hahaha. musta na?
lami kaayo kumoton si andi, kaith. and raf is getting big na gyud. di na baby. hehe. i'm sure, in time, he'll get used to being kuya. with parents like you who always try to explain things to him, i bet raf will one day be andi's number one ally and protector. si andi na ang magproblema. hehe.
Good job mommy! (and daddy) You have two adorable treasures :) ako kaha no? Trini says no to another baby! Pastilan heheh
@Jopie: manggigil pd ko ni andi jops. haha. i love her baby smell, and i find myself kissing her again and again at night while she's sleeping. pretty soon, you'll have your own bundle to kiss and hug. :)
as for raf being a kuya, i certainly hope he'd outgrow his sister jealousy very soon. they're too much to handle when they're trying to hug me at the same time. hahaha.
@Filipinas: oh, she says so? basin karon ra that wala pa. but when she finally sees the baby, malingaw ra sya. hehe. but she's so used to being the only one ever since. that means, it's time na filay. hahaha.
