Mommy Moments- Welcoming A New Sibling

I missed last week’s theme. I can’t remember the kids having anew favorite. They are still the same. Although now they love playing outside with our neighbors. I would love to post it here but their dad (and me too at times) don’t allow them that much to play outside.

Good thing the theme for this week is so apt for us. It’s welcoming a new sibling! I hope you won’t mind posting a lot of photos of my boys with their pretty princess

That’s their first photo together. And below are their “moments” with their princess…

How To Stop Nail Biting

The older boys had developed a hobby, nail biting hobby! It’s not out of stress or nervousness, just plain hobby. They would bite nails while watching the TV, would bite nails while running around. Every time they have a free finger, they would bite on it. I am really concerned because I can’t stand their fingers, it is as if the nails are slowly fading. I can’t take it! I tried controlling them. I even threatened them that I will cut off their fingers since they love snacking on it, might as well serve it to them. It was a joke of course and it did not worked.

I researched on the net on ways to stop nail biting. I was not successful on finding ways to stop it but I found an article that somewhat erased my worries. Article from Babycenter shed some light into me.

What to do about nail biting:

Address her anxieties
Don’t nag or punish
Help her when she wants to stop
Talk about breaking habits
Help her become aware of the habit

When to worry about nail biting
In rare cases, severe nail biting can signal excessive anxiety. Consult your child’s doctor if she’s biting her nails so intently that her fingertips are sore or bloody, if her nail biting is accompanied by other worrisome behaviors, such as picking at her skin or pulling her eyelashes or hair out, or if her sleep patterns have altered considerably. In these cases, professional counseling may help

Now I know what to do to my two boys. Thanks a lot babycenter!

Meet Chilet

His name is Melor Moulik, pronounced as Melor Malik. We fondly call him Chico. As he grows up, he starts to be so playful that from Chico, he became Chicolet (short for Chico Makulet). That name was shortened to Chiclet. And since his Diko can’t pronounce Chiclet, (Mico have difficulties pronouncing K sound).. his name now is CHILET (pronounced as Shilet)

We all agree that this boy is the most charming and adorable in our family. We cannot say no to him, ever! He is just so cute and lovable! Now, I am trying my best to discipline this boy. His dad is spoiling him too much.
