Cassandra Is 3 Today!

My baby girl is 3YO today! We have been out from 8am and just got back. Now I have a pile of work to complete so this is just going to be a very short post… with more pix of our celebration with her in the next few days to come. We spent the whole…

Little Earnest Teacher

Sherilyn’s mood will normally be lifted after an outdoor activity or after engaging in some activities that she likes. When she’s in a good mood, she will dutifully bring out her homework and Math work books to start working on them. Or she will teach her baby sister ABCs and 123s! She can be very…

Choosing Her Birthday Cake

My baby girl will turn 3YO on Saturday. 2 days ago, we brought her to the bakery for her to choose her birthday cake. For weeks, this fella has been telling us that she wanted a red Telly Tubby cake. There was a period of time when she was obsessed with Telly Tubbies and would…

My Under-aged Store Assistant

Here is my grossly under-aged store assistant and she is not even three yet. She now knows how to help me separate the Pos Laju consignment notes into 2, which requires a degree of dexterity, something which sometimes my 2 older girls have trouble doing. I was really impressed when she insisted that she wanted…

Cili’s Padi’s Conversation

Yesterday evening, Baby was reluctant to finish her dinner. So I used my most-effective tactic to get her to finish her food…. by asking either one of her sisters to eat her food! It works 100% of the time! When Alycia ate a spoonful of her rice, Baby bawled! For the next 15 minutes, she…

Kids Say The Darndest Things – Part 2

Today while we were in the bathroom taking our shower together again, I asked Baby yet again what she’s going to give me for my birthday. Yesterday she told me that she will buy me a water tumbler. Today, she told me that she will buy me a handkerchief so that I could wipe my…

Kids Say The Darndest Things

Baby 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…

My Tough Little Cookie

As the day for Baby to do a post surgery MAG 3 scan is drawing nearer, I am getting more anxious. I have started once again to prepare her mentally for the procedure and to remove any fear that is in her as the procedure will be a traumatizing and painful one (painful when the…

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…

Born On The Same Date And Same Year

Jasmine and I had been trying to fix a date for the kids to meet. Shan Rae and Cassandra were born on the same date and same year, thus we were really eager for the two to meet. But each time we fixed a date, something cropped up and the appointment had to be canceled….

Things That Occupy Her

Whenever I am busy with work, Baby will play on her own if her 2 sisters are at school. Some of the things that will keep her occupied are punching papers with a paper puncher, doodling, playing Lego blocks or she will simply climb up to the top of the couch and then slide down…

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….
