FollowBaby and I take our shower together everyday. While drying her up after the shower just now, this was our conversation: Me – Baby, it’s mummy’s birthday very soon. What are you going to give mummy? Baby – a surprise! Flowers… party packs… Me – oh really?? And what else? Are you going to buy…

Baby’s Latest Jig Saw Puzzle Fixing Prowess
Being the 1st child, I spent the most time reading and playing with Alycia when she was a baby. Next was Sherilyn. I spent the least time reading and playing with Baby. Because of her medical condition since birth until she was 15 months old (after the surgeries to fix her problem), we spent a…
My Cili Padi
The idiot box is not completely an idiotic box as my girls are learning many new words from watching TV programs. But if I am not careful with their selection of TV programs, it’s akin to allowing them to play with fire. One vulgar sentence that they have picked up from the tellie is “what…
Teaching Baby To Read
Both my older girls attended 4 years of pre-school. Alycia started pre-school just after her 3rd birthday and Sherilyn at 3.5 years old. Sherilyn is in her last year of pre-school this year. For Baby, I’ve decided to delay sending her to pre-school until she turns 4yo next year. If you are a die-hard reader…
Born On The Same Date And Same Year
Bad Case Of Being Stung By Cili Padi
Baby was weaned off my breasts about a month ago. But she had a relapse of the boobies! Though she no longer needed the boobs to help her fall asleep at night, funnily she still needed them to lull her to sleep in the afternoon. Then the addiction started to intensify and she would climb…
Things That Occupy Her
My Brave Samseng Baby
I have been trying to prepare Baby mentally for the MAG3 scan that she has to go through in April. She had gone through this scan just before her surgeries in April 2009. This procedure looked pretty scary and painful, especially when the doctor inserted the catheter into Baby’s down under and on her hand.…
Silence Spells Trouble’s Brewing!
The house is often filled with Baby’s chatter, laughter, cries or screams. When she’s around and there’s silence, I can be rest assured that this fella is up to something that’s a bane in the house, like playing with plasters: And she sure knows how to choose the Disney tattoo plasters over the plain white…
Accident Prone Cassandra
When Sherilyn was 1-3yo, she was very prone to accidents and gave me umpteen heart-stopping moments. Now, the jinx has moved to Baby, sigh…. and she’s very accident prone too. From the moment she was born up until now, she has given me countless near-faint moments. On the day before our trip to Penang, Baby…
Cassandra’s 4th Post Ureteral Reimplantation Surgery Ultrasound Scan
We had to make 2 trips to the hospital this time as the ultrasound scan report was not ready yesterday. Thus my anxiousness was protracted. I never like the feeling of waiting for reports or results. It makes me sick. Baby was mighty brave this time. Albeit the long wait for the radiologist to come…
Penang Here We Come
Habits Are Hard To Die
Habits are hard to die. Remove the letter H, you still have ‘a bit’… remove the letter A, you still have ‘bit’ and remove the letter B, you still have IT!! Baby is having a ‘relapse’ and is back to her addiction of mummy’s boobs several days ago, albeit a mild addiction, which normally spikes…
Cassandra’s First Night Of Sleeping Without Mummy Next To Her
Withdrawal Symptoms
One of Baby’s boops weaning withdrawal symptoms is that she would refuse to nap in the afternoon. We used to nap together in the afternoon and she would latch on to her comfort tools for comfort sucking and would easily drift into lalaland. Ever since she was weaned off my boops, she would refuse to…
