When they're together, my five-year-old son and his cousin tend to cause mayhem. One Saturday, I put my foot down. "All right, you two," I said sternly. "No screaming, grabbing, whining, hitting, teasing, tattling, breaking toys, scratching or fighting."
As I turned to leave, I heard my son say, "C'mon, Steven, let's get dirty."
Of course, it's a joke. My friend, do you like boy or girl? Do you want a boy or a daughter?
I like girl, and want a beautiful daughter. But in China, most of the people like the boy.

Hello fanniefeng :)
I have kids that age so I understand your frustration, but at the end of the day I thank God for they are normal kids. When they are sick and they stop playing, talking, smiling, laughing, and just stares at something because they are sick, then I am more in pain to see them like that. And those are the time that I appreciate their "normal" ways. Just be patient. Time goes so fast, soon they will all be grown up and you would see that your house is so clean and quiet... you will miss the noise and clutter, I'm sure. Take care :)
