FollowI am feeling much better today – no more blocked nose, runny nose or sore throat, only a slight cough every now and then. I think the barley water, crysanthemum tea, Manuka honey, lots of fruits and gargling of salt water throughout the day really helped. Getting enough sleep also helps. Now it’s Sherilyn’s turn to have runny nose…

Sherilyn’s Bandage Is Finally Off
The bandage on Sherilyn’s cracked forehead is finally off today, 8 days after the fall on Valentine’s Day. The wound is still red but has already closed. This hyperactive monkey does not seem to be afraid of falling and is still climbing up and down and hanging everywhere like a primate and driving everyone in the…
A Not-So-Happy Valentine’s Day
Yesterday’s Val’s Day was really eventful and heartbreaking for me for Sherilyn broke her forehead. Alycia and Sherilyn had been waiting for daddy to come home to cut the Val’s Day cake and were reluctant to take their baths. They waited until 9:30pm and when daddy was outside the gate, they were so happy…
My Terrible Sunday
Sherilyn Is Driving Me Insane
Sherilyn Hates Our New Maid
There just isn’t any chemistry between my new maid and Sherilyn. When Sherilyn saw our new Cambodian temp maid for the first time, she had just woken up from her nap. She was sobbing away on the mattress as I was talking to the maid agent. When I asked her why she was crying, she…
Sherilyn – 8 Months Old vs. 3 Years Old
I Want To Be Kelly
Alycia and Sherilyn love watching the Australian kids’ educational VCDs Hi-5 and they have certainly learnt a lot of good things (vocab, grammar, phonics, body parts, shapes, colors, cause and effect and much more) from these VCDs. At times they even speak in Aussie slang and jargon. For the past few days, Sherilyn the drama…
I’m Not Sending Sherilyn To Pre-School Yet
After sleeping on this tough decision, I’ve finally decided that I will delay sending Sherilyn to playschool for another 4-5 months, which means she will only go to pre-school in May or June this year. I still feel Sherilyn is like a baby. I didn’t feel this way when I sent Alycia to pre-school when…
I Will Follow You… Wherever You Go
I woke up at 6am today and Sherilyn followed me too. Gave her milk and washed her up and tried to put her back to sleep. But that brat doesn’t want to go back to sleep. She was climbing up and down, asking me tons of questions, pressing my keyboard and followed me everywhere that I went, including to…
A Day Of Puking
First, it was Miss Pukey Sherilyn when she choked on her banana this evening. Despite me telling her to take small bites, she put the last bite of the banana into her tiny mouth, had difficulty chewing it, choked and puked. Luckily I had plastic bags at every nook and corner of the house. I quickly…
Butterfingers
Sherilyn tends to have butterfingers. She drops her food most of the time and spills water 9 out of 10 times she is given a cup of water. When she drops something that she loves to eat, she will waaaaail out really loud and this would touch daddy or mummy’s hearts instantly. One time she dropped her…
Sisters But Different In Every Way
Though sisters, but their looks, characters, personalities and taste buds are the exact opposite. One is sociable but one is shy, one loves meat while the other eats no meat, one is fair but the other is hitam manis, one loves chocolate milk while the other would not touch any liquid that is brown in color, one loves soups…
Sherilyn Loves Milk and Cereal
Miss Spitty Spat Sherilyn whose eating habit has been regressing lately is totally not eating any meat and even vege (though she used to love them), except for fishballs. It just hurts my heart to see her skinny body when she’s bare. Her ribs are so visible and almost protruding and she looks really skinny without much flesh,…
Tagging Along To The Gynae’s Again
Sherilyn really loves tagging along to the gynae’s office. When we were there on Wednesday, she was happily munching away the fried egg sandwich that I made her and smiling away cheekily to other patients. Once, she followed us into the Ultrasound Scan room and saw the dr. put the probe into my ‘under’ to perform a…
Pee Accidents
Sherilyn has been off diapers for about one month already when we go out now. She would normally tell my maid or me when she wants to pee but yesterday, I think she must have enjoyed her food so much that she had totally forgotten to inform us and she peed twice in her pants – once when…
