I have two sons. The oldest ten years, the youngest is five. Both are bright, both blue -eyed, both chubby. However, this similarity is limited. The eldest seems to be growing stubborn, wayward, obstinate from the very diapers. He is very restrained. The youngest is a shower, flexible, obedient. The senior and in early childhood was beyond the independent measure, the youngest would have kept her skirt everything. The senior if it rests, then at least you cut it for pieces, you won’t move it, you won’t make you do what he does not want to do. The youngest sometimes gets old, but as soon as he sees that the case turns seriously, he immediately backs down: “There is something to quarrel because!”
From the editor of the site:
A very familiar story. We have three and all different. And the problems, oddly enough, are different. Not significant, but still … with children’s goods we only have no problems. Now there are so many online stores that everything is done in two clicks. Take, for example, – a wonderful store with a huge selection of goods for children of any age. But education is already more difficult. We take off the author of the lines, mom, and continue to read her thoughts.
With the younger is easy, with the elder – oh how difficult it is. I tell him: “Do so”. And he replies: “No, I am so inconvenient”. It is convenient for him to hold the pen in some incredible way. It is convenient for him to tie shoes with an inconceivable knot, which is constantly untied. It is much more convenient for him to get out the window than to go through the door.
I say: “They don’t do it, look what you succeed!”He stands on his own:” And it is so comfortable for me ” – and proudly steps on untied laces.
He asks: “You can, I will give a cat to a cookie with jam?”” Yes, do not eat cats of jam!”” Well, I will still try, but?»I leave the kitchen for five minutes, and when I return, I see… A cat who at a rumbling eats a mitino treat – cookies with jam. “Eats after all,” Mitya says, as if apologizing to me. – And you thought all the cats do not like sweet? Probably our cat is some special..: “
We are walking along the street. “I will catch a sparrow?”” What are you, do you catch a sparrow with your hands? Let’s go, once “. “Well, I’m one minute!”And is already running without listening to my protests. I am angry: we are late, and he comes up with ridiculous ventures. But here Mitya appears… With a sparrow in the hands. How he caught him, the mind is incomprehensible. Probably really wanted. And that’s what is interesting. He does not jump in front of me, does not shout: “Well, he didn’t catch?”Quite the opposite. Mitya looks even somewhat embarrassed and tries to explain that the wind just blew from the sparrow, so the sparrow did not smell. But actually, of course, a sparrow is terribly difficult to catch. It just happened by chance. But it came out!
