Elias and Bella's child horoscopes

ELIAS was going to be born a Taurus, according to his due date. However, being born late, he ended up being a Gemini. What's funny is that according to these child horoscopes the Gemini description really IS more Elias than Taurus. I guess God knew what she was doing. :-) 

About the Gemini Child

A Quick and Agile Mind


Your Gemini child will look up at you with bright, merry eyes, making you laugh as he makes it clear there's a lot going on in that head of his. And if he starts talking at an early age, he's just living up to his nature! 

Gemini children tend to be communicative, charming, and social, but even if your Gemini child is a quieter sort, he's still quick-witted, curious, and mentally engaged with the world around him. Make sure he's always surrounded with books and puzzles to stimulate his mind, and give him plenty of space and supplies for his many projects. 

Gemini children love anything new, and they tend to bounce from one activity to the next at a moment's notice. As soon as they master a new challenge, they'll grow bored with it and move on. Their mood may also change in the blink of an eye. 

Many Gemini children are indecisive or change their minds often. The other side of this coin is their adaptability. Gemini children often prefer variety of experience over depth of understanding, but as their parent, you can help them focus and develop a particular area of strength. 

Your Gemini will excel at cerebral endeavors like reading, writing, and debate, as well as anything requiring dexterity, such as playing the piano. Due to their variety of interests, Gemini children tend to have many friends and will often be the center of the circle, naturally excelling at what we grown-ups call networking.

Bella is a Virgo, like her mother. This description is mostly right on as well, but it leaves out a lot of her bubbly and loving personality. She is practical, loves to help, and is very cautious with any new situation. Hmmm- another perfectionist in the house? Wonder how that's going to work. :-)

About the Virgo Child

In Search of Perfection


Practicality and conscientious attention to detail are two of your Virgo child's foremost traits, even from an early age. You might find her organizing her toys or saving her allowance to buy some coveted item while other children spend their money on immediate gratification. 

Your little Virgo isn't likely to be frivolous. Rather, she measures the pros and cons of a situation and goes with what makes the most sense. Virgo children have high standards and are naturally cautious, so they can seem picky or reserved, but this is simply because they prefer to stand back and assess a situation rather than throwing themselves into it. 

Your Virgo child is a natural helper. She appreciates order and genuinely wants to pitch in and be of service to the family and, later, to the world -- a trait that should be commended and developed. 

As the parent of a Virgo, you'll need to temper your child's expectation of perfection with the message that sometimes, good enough is just that -- good enough. Build up her confidence as much as you can, for your child is likely to be self-effacing and overly humble. 

Our first outdoor dinner-yea Spring!

Elias was away this weekend at his Grandparent's house, so Bella got her parents and Abuelo all to herself. She is such a pleasant companion (at least when she's in a good mood!). Here mom's working on her photography skills- got a ways to go, but at least I can get shadows out of faces now!
