Babies and Toddlers

When it comes to marriage, the question of whether to marry early or late often become the main concern for most girls. As we know, there are always pros and cons to any alternative.


We chose to marry early at the age of 25, earlier than most of my friends and until today, we have no regrets. We were holding babies and toddlers when most of our friends were holding each other’s hands. We were pushing strollers, carrying diaper bags and feeding children while our friends were having candle light dinner. We were at home putting the children to bed while our friends were dating at the cinema. Should I say more?


Now, when our children grow up and no longer need diapers, no longer feed on bottles or breast, no longer need us to carry in our arms, we see our friends carrying their babies instead. Now, it’s their turn to have sleepless nights and their turn to search high and low for suitable babies and toddler products. The only difference is that, we did all the chasing and running about when we were young and when our energy level was high.


Our friends are now doing what we were doing years ago, wanting the best for our children. We would compare each product be it a stroller, a high chair, a car seat or even toys and books hoping to buy the best for our children. Reading the resource guide or buying guide would help us make a better decision or at least enable us to know each product better.


So, while I’m laughing very softly seeing my friends chasing their toddlers, I’m laughing at myself too for I’m at the next phase – schooling, homework and peers, a more stressful phase!
