Cayden’s Habits (Present & Future)

Although arrived 3 weeks ago, I noticed Cayden has at least 2 prominent habits:

1) Airing his armpits… as you can see from most pictures!

2) Curling his second toe on top of his big toe on both feet…

I wonder what other habits will be developed as we all nurture this little one. I have been wondering if Cayden will behave like other kids as he progresses into the toddler stage. I have heard from Baluku the horrible (but funny things) her niece Isabel (aka my Goddess) did:

• Practised her writing and drawing skills on the inside of cabinets, the walls and sofa set.
• Cried when she did not get the thing she wanted. Recently, Isabel has been really helpful and even offered her service to Baluku while she was wiping dinning table top. Btw, Isabel is just as tall as the dining table. The biggest problem was Isabel wasn't convinced cleaning the table top wasn't an easy and clean task for her. Baluku actually got Isabel to smell the sponge used for cleaning and Isabel said "Sponge doesn't smell dirty!". *FAINT*

How should I react if Er & Billy are not around to take over the disciplinary role? I’ll probably adopt the same thing Baluku did to Isabel -

• Lecture Cayden with stern look (ok, i'll try to use eye power) and give him an eraser to remove the scribbles and drawings.
• I doubt Cayden will be interested to help in the household chores. We'll figure out a way to deal with this when the time comes.

That will be at least 3 years later if I have to worry about how to deal with Cayden and his passion for household chores...
