Eunice & AJ

It's been two months already since Eunice came into our house. Prior to her arrival, I've been preparing AJ, briefing her that the newcomer is her cousin and a new playmate. I have to prepare her emotionally and mentally because ever since she was born, she's been the only baby in the house and all the love and attention were focused on her. And having a another child at home is so new to her, she'll no longer be the only baby, she'll have someone to share everything with. Which, I believe, is a good thing since she'll be able to learn that she's not the only baby in the world. She'll be able to learn how to share. The first few weeks of adjustment has been difficult for us. AJ's almost always on her tantrum mode, while Eunice would bite or punch AJ when she's becoming too makulit - it was her way of saying stop to AJ's kalikutan since she was unable to express what she wants to say in tagalog since her major dialect at that time is Ilonggo.

Haist, Anyway, We've been experiencing a lot of changes recently. Both of them has learned how to cope with each other. Although AJ is still throwing little tantrums every now & then, she has learn to accept the presence of her ate Eunice. While Eunice, on the other hand, has learned to be patient with AJ. She already know that hurting her ading wont do a lot of good.

I do hope it will continue. They are still little children and both of them needs a lot of love, attention and discipline whenever necessary.
