There is a time in your life when you look at your children or child and realize they've adopted habits and traits from you. This could be a good thing or a not so good thing.
Just like momma, Nicolas gets excited about food. We love to eat, this boy and I. Especially some really tasty food. We also share a nasty sweet tooth. I give in to mine but I am the keeper of his. (Pro to being the mom)
He's moody. Really moody. One minute he could be playing as happy as a clam and then if something doesn't go his way. It's a BEWARE type situation. I don't know why I added this to my list because that is nothing like me. Can you hint my sarcasm? Yes, it's true, I'm also like this. I'm a brat. Not all the time though.
Nicolas doesn't like his hands dirty. He could have just got done eating or in the midst of playing in dirt and he will whine to me "diiiiiirrrrrty hannndddsss!" That's my cue to wipe them clean or go help him wash them. While cooking dinner or cleaning or on a Tuesday, I wash my hands like a freak of nature. Literally a dozen times.
I'm stubborn and so is my son. If I don't want to do something, I won't. Either that, or it will be a really long drawn out process. My son is the same. I'll tell him to do something like pick up his trash and throw it away or to close the door, and if it wasn't originally on his agenda he will wait until I'm so frustrated from repeating it so many times. I swear there is no question that he is my child.
He likes to eat everyone else's food and doesn't really like to share. (confession: I loathe sharing my food! With anyone. Including my kid! I'm sorry, no I'm really not actually. In cases for my child or husband, I make you a plate for a reason. In cases of ordering out, you had the chance to order whatever you wanted and you decided on whatever you did, don't expect me to share what I ordered for MYSELF! end rant) In point, I can't really be upset about this because I understand.
Nicolas is such an early riser. He is awake no later than 8. And on weekdays he sometimes surprises me by already being awake once I get up. (Mind you I wake up at 5am) Not sure if this is a good thing.
Speaking of mornings, he's like me in the sense that when I've woken up visually it doesn't always mean that we've woken up mentally so please refrain from joking, touching, any and all communication pretty much. Let us wake up slowly. Let us just get ready and charge up our brains. We thank you in advance.
Also like mom, he can function pretty well on little hours of sleep. Sometimes I think if he goes to bed later than usual, he'll sleep in. And nope, why would that idea ever come to mind because it will be one of those mornings where he's raring to go before my mind even fathoms waking up. Mind you he's yelling at me to get my ass up! During the week I
Between the two of us we are so emotional. Lately I've noticed he's taken after me in this aspect because if he's watching one of his shows and a character gets sad or upset in any way he looks like he's going to cry and sometimes does. I have to calm him down by holding him and explaining to him how the other characters in the show will make said character happy again. For me, I could cry during a commercial if it tugs at certain heartstrings. I'm a baby. Always have been. Probably always will be.
And the best one of all. He loves books. Just like I do. We could sit there and read forever if time allowed. I love reading to him just as much as he loves hearing me read. We both get really excited for new books and I'll usually give him a few options as to which one he can get and I find it super cute that he has a hard time making up his mind.
I love this boy more than he'll ever know no matter if he did inherit some good and some not so good traits from his momma.
