Posted on August 22, 2008August 22, 2008 by Shireen

I have never been to the United States but I’d love to visit this country one day. If I ever get the chance to visit the U.S., New York would be the first city that I’ll visit. I’d also love to visit my 2 good buddies who live in the U.S. Jo, my childhood friend is…

A Chaotic And Dizzy Day For Me

Posted on August 21, 2008August 21, 2008 by Shireen

First, Sherilyn woke up on the wrong side of the bed and was super cranky and clingy to me. She refused the maid to wash her up, brush her teeth or touch her. She kept wanting me and kept saying “mummy, say you love me” as she cried pitifully. I was already very busy trying…

This post is specially written for Baby C, in the hope that when she’s old enough to understand and read this, she will know what she and mummy had gone through to deal with the kidney reflux that she’s suffering from. Cassandra, as mummy is typing this now, mummy is hoping that very soon, you…

Baby C And Her Highchair

Posted on August 18, 2008 by Shireen

Baby C now does not want to be placed on her bouncinet or on the mattress on the floor, next to the dining table whenever we have our meals. She wants to be carried. So I dug out Aly and Sher’s old Safe n Sound highchair and placed Baby C on it. The first time…

Respite For 2 Days

Posted on August 17, 2008August 17, 2008 by Shireen

It was a decision made at the eleventh hour. My mil and sil from Hong Kong had earlier planned to travel to Ipoh today. This morning, my mil suggested to me that since it’s the school holidays, she wanted to bring Alycia and Sherilyn back to Ipoh. I jumped at her suggestion since it’s the school…

My Sunday

Posted on August 17, 2008 by Shireen

For the first time in Sherilyn’s life, she will be away from me for 2 whole days. She and Alycia have followed my mil and sil back to Ipoh today and my girls will be staying with my parents. As for Alycia, it’s not her first time being separated from me. When she was 2…

Alycia’s Diaper-Free Night… Day 3

Posted on August 16, 2008August 16, 2008 by Shireen

Ooops…. there was a wee wee accident in the wee hours of the morning today. I was deep in my sleep and having a dream when I heard a little girl saying “mummy, my pants are wet…… mummy, my pants are wet…..mummy….” . I thought I was dreaming but when I opened my eyes, I saw…

Alycia’s Reading ‘Explosion’

Posted on August 15, 2008August 15, 2008 by Shireen

Over the past 1 week, Alycia had a sudden reading spurt. Ever since she could read book 1A of Peter and Jane, she is now having an insatiable thirst for reading! She could read most pages of Goldilocks And The Three Bears (also for beginners from Ladybird) and a few other books that once belonged to…

Alycia’s Improvement In Her School Homework

Posted on August 14, 2008 by Shireen

Lately, Alycia has shown a great amount of discipline in completing her homework and now, she will do them without being told everyday. She doesn’t even want me to coach her as she will tell me that she knows how to do them. Her math and abacus have improved and she can even do them on her…

Alycia’s Diaper-Free Night (1st Night)

Posted on August 13, 2008 by Shireen

It went well. Even before the alarm clock rang at 2am, I had already woken up to check on Alycia. The first thing I did was to quickly touch her pants. Phew…. it wasn’t wet. I quickly woke her up and it wasn’t easy to pull her up from bed. She was groggy, did not…

Posted on August 13, 2008August 14, 2008 by Shireen

On Monday, we had dinner at Crystal Jade Chinese Restaurant at Gardens, Mid Valley City. I had wanted to try Fong Lye Taiwanese Restaurant but hubby said that the food isn’t fantastic.

Posted on August 12, 2008August 12, 2008 by Shireen

Alycia is only on diapers at night for the past 1 year or so. During the day when she naps, she is diaperless and she can hold her bladder for 2 hours and even when she wakes up, she doesn’t go to the loo immediately. She can hold her bladder for at least 3-4 hours. …

When Do You Start Feeding Your Baby Solids?

Posted on August 12, 2008August 12, 2008 by Shireen

I am still undecided when to start feeding Baby C solids. With Alycia, I started feeding her porridge at 6 months and Sherilyn, around 7-8 months. I am thinking of delaying feeding Baby C solids until she’s at least 8 months or even longer. Here are some excerpts from kellymom.com (an exclusive site for breastfeeding…
