Knowing that she’s a jig saw puzzle aficionado, Baby received jig saw puzzles as birthday pressie for her 3rd birthday recently. The jig saw puzzles were all educational ones, which came in all sizes and fashion: Huge alphabet jig saw to help her learn her ABCs … Spelling jig saw, which is more suitable for…

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…
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
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….
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
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….
