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…
I 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…
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…
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…
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…
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 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…
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…
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…
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…
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,…
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…
