FollowA few kids were down with chicken pox in Alycia and Sher’s pre-school last week. This afternoon, I discovered several red spots on Sher’s body (front and back of her body). They looked like some insect bites but at a closer look, there appears to be a little water inside the dots. In fact, I…

Sherilyn’s Big Boo Boo
Sherilyn made a big boo boo at Guardian Pharmacy yesterday but this tough nut of mine did not boo hoo hoo over her boo boo! After lunch at a nearby coffee shop yesterday, we went to a mini mart to shop for groceries and thereafter went to Guardian Pharmacy. As I was busy looking at…
If It Looks Good, It Tastes Good Too
I mentioned in my earlier posts that Sherilyn my tough nut is super willful and disobedient. Getting her to do any task seems to be a tall order, from getting her to wee wee to poo poo to washing hands to just about any instructions, with the exception of getting her to eat biscuits, chips,…
Training Alycia and Sherilyn To Be Real Chinese
A Not-So-Healthy Breakfast
Whenever my mil is back home from HK or NZ, Alycia and Sherilyn will stick to their mah mah like glue. That’s because mah mah is oh so patient with them, hardly scolds them and often spoils them with food. In this pic, Alycia was eating roti canai and kuih for breakfast. The gals rarely get…
Sherilyn Goes To Pre-School
After delaying sending Sherilyn to pre-school for half a year, I finally sent her off today together with Alycia. She was so excited and upbeat this morning as I prepared her to go to school. I also got the maid to fry some eggs for the gals and then I cut them into cute shapes with my new My Melody…
Middle-Child Syndrome?
I really don’t know what is wrong with Sherilyn but she is really making me very pissed off with her. Several months before Baby C’s arrival, she started to be really willful, rebellious, disobedient and hard to handle. I am really lost for ways to handle her. She takes no instructions from me or my…
A Little Update On My Life As A Mum To 3 Kids
I have been nursing Baby C the whole day today….. non-stop and it is really tiring me out. Sometimes, she just wants to suckle my teats for comfort and not for milk, otherwise she wouldn’t go to sleep. Sherilyn is also desperately seeking a lot of my attention lately. She has been resisting our instructions and would bawl…
One Tough Cookie
Two days ago, as I was busy in the wet kitchen teaching my maid cooking, Sherilyn the ever hyper-active rascal cut her lower lip when she was jumping up and down and knocked her lip on the sides of the playpen. Alycia who saw Sherilyn bleeding on the lip was yelling out to me telling…
Learning During Breakfast Works Best
I find that teaching Alycia and Sherilyn works best during breakfast time. It’s the time when they are seated and eating and their attention span tends to be the highest in the morning. Sherilyn for one can never sit still during meal times. Without any activitiy to occupy her when she eats, she will climb up…
I Can’t Believe She’s Eating Chicken
After years of shunning away from meat, especially chicken meat, Sherilyn is now starting to appreciate chicken meat, though the meat has to be really well marinated – salty or sweet and not too tough. And she won’t eat the meat if I cut them all up for her. She only wants to eat the chicken together with the…
The Girls’ Appetite Is Back!
The girls have finally recovered from their illness, though not 100% as there is still phlegm in their throats. Their appetite is finally making a come back. For the past 2.5 days, Alycia has been talking non-stop about food…. telling me what she would like to eat for breakfast, lunch, dinner…. non-stop. Two nights ago, she told me that she…
Vitamin E Oil To Heal Scars
Remember Sherilyn cracked her forehead on Valentine’s Day? I was pretty worried that there will be a permanent scar on Sher’s forehead. The doctor who attended to Sher advised us to apply pure Vitamin E oil onto the scar. What I did was I used the remaining Vitamin E capsules that I ate during the…
I Wish Sherilyn Will Stop Puking
Sherilyn did it again last night. This time, it wasn’t at the usual jinxed 12 midnight but at 10ish pm. I had put the gals to bed early last night as they had taken their medicine and were feeling sleepy and listless, especially Alycia. After putting them to sleep at 10pm, I went downstairs and sat…
On The Road To Recovery
Alycia and Sherilyn are on the road to recovery. The fever is gone for both gals but they have now developed a cough, as expected. Sherilyn has even developed a sexy, husky voice and almost lost her voice last night. There seems to be a lot of phlegm in her throat too. Though Alycia has…
Both The Girls Are Down
My worst nightmare came true last night. Not only is Sherilyn having fever, Alycia who does not have a strong immune system also caught the bug and is having high fever (40 degrees Celcius), swollen throat and a runny nose. She could not stomach any food this morning and threw up twice. Sherilyn also has a very swollen throat…
