Learning From Their New iPad2

Rascal #2 learns very well in an environment that has elements of fun peppered with lots of visual and audio enhancement. She likes sounds and colors, not the boring black and white words and numbers. So our new iPad2 is now her best tutor. I love Apple for creating such wonderful apps for kids in…

Bound!

Rascal #3 has a very bad habit of running around whenever she eats. She takes after rascal #2 who can never sit still at the dining table during meal times or when she’s asked to do homework. Thus, these 2 rascals get whacked a lot during meal times. A few days ago, I got so…

Baby and Alycia

A few nights ago, Alycia was fuming mad and whining away non-stop when she could not find some cards that her classmate had given her. This girl is very fond of having an outburst, which results in fits of rage and bawling whenever she cannot find her school books or other stuff. When Baby heard…

Kids Say The Darndest Things

Conversation with Baby over breakfast this morning: Baby – mummy, last time you had a spotty dog right? Me – yes. But Spotty is dead now. Mummy was so sad when he died. Baby – don’t be sad ok? (then pats my lap) I will buy you a new spotty dog. A new puppy dog…

Kids Nap The Darndest Ways

I saw Baby dozed off on the couch in a half standing position and in her bathing suit… with her panty on 🙂  I just had to snap a pic of this as I think it was too funny.  Rascal #2 was so absorbed in my laptop activity that she did not even notice that…

Another Heart Stopping Moment

My little rascal flat lined my heartbeat today. I was busy working on my computer and then this rascal yelled out that she wanted to pee. I rushed to bring her to the bathroom. As we were walking to the loo, this rascal was rubbing her eye and told me that her eye was itchy….

Obsessed With Folding Blankets

I believe everyone has an OCD or a quirk, even with young kids and toddlers. Baby’s latest OCD is with folding blankets, towels and nappies. She is also obsessed with having at least 3 pieces of nappies and 2 blankets on the king size bed that she shares with her sisters. She likes to be…

Terrified of Snakes!

Lately, I found a very effective way of getting Baby to stop whining and screaming. Each time she whines and yells, I will scare her by telling her that the snake is somewhere near us, in its sleep. With her screams, snaky will be jolted from its sleep. Snaky will then swallow her up in…

Kids Say The Darndest Things

This morning after exercise at the park, hubs asked the girls if they would like to have breakfast at Ficelle Boulangarie.  Ficelle is our latest favorite patisserie for breakfast. As usual, Sherilyn would defy upfront whatever our choice is for her, whether it is food, clothing and just about anything else. Everyone voted for Ficelle…

Frigging Hot Weather

The weather in KL has been frigging hot, stuffy and humid for the past few weeks. Though it rained yesterday, today the skies look hazy and I can even smell the familiar hazy smoke from the 5th floor of our unit and when I walk outside. Whenever there is no rain for 2 days in…

Canadian 2For1 Pizza

We saw a Canadian Pizza delivery guy at the lift of our condo about 2 months ago and got a business card from him. 2 weeks ago, we finally ordered some Canadian Pizza to have them delivered to our door step. We were skeptical on the taste initially but after the pizza meal, my brother,…

Our Eventful 11th Wedding Anniversary

2 years ago, we celebrated our wedding anniversary in the pediatric ward of Penang GMC. It was a happy day for hubs and me, though Alycia and Sherilyn were not with us. It was the day Baby was given the green light to be discharged from the hospital after a 3-week stay. 2 years later,…

Kids Say The Darndest Things

This has been our regular conversation these days. Baby always tells me that she wants to be a mummy when she grows up and has many children :O Baby – mummy, when I grow up I want to be a mummy… Me – and I will be a granny if you become a mummy! Baby…

Awesome Website For Kids To Learn ABCs, Colors, Shapes, Time-Telling, Spelling

Mumsgather recently introduced this awesome website to me. Baby has since been hooked on this website. She plays with my laptop almost everyday and now, she hops straight to Literacy Center to learn her ABCs and spelling! Literacy Center teaches toddlers and pre-schoolers ABCs, 123s, colors, shapes, time telling and much more.  It’s the next…

Cassandra’s Post Operation MAG3 Scan

Baby’s post operation MAG3 scan of her urinary tract went almost without a hitch on Friday. My motherly instinct was right. Baby was very, very, very brave for she did not let out any cry or whine during the 20-minute IV insertion session on her hand. First the doctor poked her hand with the IV…
