The Lion??

So you are probably wondering who the Lion in my life is. He is my amazing son who I love, adore, and am eternally grateful for. My Lion was born in August of 2005 his zodiac sign is Leo (the lion). While I was pregnant I did a ton of reading on the Leo child and my Lion has definitely fit perfectly into the role of a leo. Since the day he was born it has been fairly obvious who the king of my house is. It's amazing to me how such a little thing came packing one hell of a personality. He is always the center of attention and he wouldn't have it any other way. Even though he is not speaking enough to fully communicate he has no problem expressing what he wants and the fact that he wants it right now. Now that he is getting older it is becoming a challenge for me to express to him that he can't always have his way. His little feelings get hurt so easily and it breaks my heart when they do. Still it is a lesson that must be learned. Being an only child and living with his mother and grandmother my lion gets plenty of attention, so much actually that if we are not fully paying homage to him he will stand right in front of us and clap his hands (looking for an applause). If the applause does not fully meet his need for attention he will pull on my hand until I get up and then he will lead me where ever it is he wants to go. Most of the time I end up standing in front of the T.V ( a few feet away from where I was content on the couch) holding his hand. All in a days work serving my little lion.

The Leo Child
A typical lion cub, this child will be happy and cheerful as long as he gets his way. A little too full of himself, he will attack if he feels thwarted or his position is threatened. Although you should encourage his natural leadership qualities, you must also appeal to his sense of justice and fair play, otherwise he will turn into a show-off.
Blessed with an innate sense of dignity, they thrive on power and applause and need to be adored. Or should it be worshipped! But do not let him get away with making demands. Teach him to respect the dignity of others too.
On the brighter side, these youngsters are playful, affectionate and a lot of fun. They enjoy games of challenge and chance. Though intelligent and quick to learn, they can be a little lazy. So it is important that you inculcate discipline and good study habits and also give them responsible and dignified duties to perform.
They love indulging themselves and spend lavishly. Not only do they like spending on themselves, they can also be very generous. These little charmers also fall in and out of love easily, so you are for a tough adolescent phase. As a fire sign, their passions run hot, hot, hot!
You need to provide them gentle discipline and lots of love and affection. Do not ever destroy his pride with harsh orders. Always remember that you are the lion tamer. Build his courage and confidence with love instead.
