I told myself never to compare other kids with mine. Each have their own good or bad characteristics. But sometimes I hear about what other kids are good at, and I so wish Clarisse or baby Edward would do the same.

For instance, my cousin-in-law’s daughter could just move about in a playpen and sleep when she tires without much fuss. Baby Edward on the other hand, hates being left alone, nevermind going to sleep all by himself.

Clarisse is a terrible eater. She chews so slowly and keep food in her mouth. My neighbour have 3 toddlers between three to six. All of them are absolute opposite of Clarisse when it comes to mealtime. They can finish a bowl of rice in less than 15 mins. The portion of rice that would take 45 mins for Clarisse to eat.
