F2F Class Notes (Jesse) [W]

Talk about one of your daughters most common habits / sth funny / cute that she does. Tell me when she does it, how often, why.. etc

I was an inexperienced man in my life so when my tiny girl came to me that I had to admit I was worried for a while. I was worried that I cant take care of her because I don’t even think I can take care of myself. But now, I enjoy every minute with my daughter. I think the most important thing to get along well is observe and listen patiently to my baby.The development of children is always beyond our imagination. Manytimes, they just cant express but actually they understand anything. When you think that like they think, you will see what they see.In my opinion.we don’t need any preparation to welcome a life, just relax because every angel who comes to you is here to protect you so the only thing you have to do is to open your arms and embrace them.

I used to be an inexperienced woman in my life so when my tiny girl came to me, I had to admit I was worried for a while. Particularly that I couldn’t take care of her because I didn’t even think I could take care of myself.

A lot of the time / Often, they just cant express but actually they understand anything. When you think like they think, you will see what they see. In my opinion, we don’t need any preparation to welcome a life, just relax because every angel who comes to you is here to protect you so the only thing you have to do is to open your arms and embrace them.
