Thank you baby,
For being a wonderful daddy to the babies.
For being around most of the time.
For doing all the chores revolving the kids so fine.
For helping with all the chores in the house.
For being a pillar of strength all this while.
You have made the meaning of father NEW.
For all the thing you have done, more than those listed above, just to name a few.
MY DADDY ROCKS!
Cos he changes our poo.
And he brings us to the zoo.
Cos he brings us to shopping!
And he feeds us tho we were fussing.
I know we can do all things,
Cos you make them happen to our likings.
We love you Daddy!
Lucas displayed ALL the list of high chair problems in the book; crying, banging the table, distracted, arching back...
And...
He woke up at 12am last nite!!!!
Likely cos he did not eat much the entire day... fussed at all the meal times... I was still heaving relief when things started looking better earlier this week when the feeding took about 30mins each time. Well, I guess the season is here again- this time, suspected due to teething with the slight fever.
Thank God I was still awake cos of the late night Vivo experience!
Not very nice, cos today was a busy day with the wedding ceremonies, lunch and dinner.
So, the subject of employing a maid came all over again. Not to mention we paid a $200 deposit to reserve that particular maid under duress! Long story there...
Anyway, this boy is giving me all the heartaches! Talk about all the godliness I remind myself to keep in front of my babies- who else is in the best position to teach them who God is like at this age? Though I must admit I am far from being that!
Well, thinking back, we might have waited longer for our second one if LA were to be like that! She has been the easiest baby at home as far as I know!
All these three months of struggling, I was wondering (or worrying) if Luc is a special kid; being difficult to take care of. But I reckon now that he is as normal as other kids! LA is the special one!
At least by car!
It all started with a last minute time out for me after feeding Luc today.
Long days since yesterday when Luc started a little fever, which we reckoned it might be due to teething. So, the meals have not been easy at all! Plus an extra meal near midnight!
Urgh!
I decided to be adventurous and go further than just Compass point. I just felt that I needa be REBELLIOUS today!
SO, VivoCity here I come!
The wait to enter the building was almost comparable to the journey itself! The silly gantry did not raise up tho the number of vacant lots showed more than 60, whereas the other gantry kept raising up tho it said ZERO vacant lots!
Thank God I got into my shopping spree by 830pm... all the way to Tangs closing at 10! Haha.
All pleased with my new beautiful Daniel Yam's dress for Patsy and Gavin's wedding dinner tomorrow nite, plus the bright cheery blue Coats top to go with my faithful white skirt for the tea ceremony! And a less-than-a-funky bow tie since it is conservative maroon) for Ad at the dinner!
Here's the part!
I WAITED 30 MINUTES IN THE CAR, FROM THE MINUTE I GOT INTO THE CAR, TO REACH THE CAR PARK GANTRY!
It will be my last time driving there!
It has been a hectic two weeks.
We had wanted a celebration, but it was too late when we realised it. And Ah ma's not around anyway...
Well, it was done in two mini parties! Sunday at Ah Gor's house, and the actual day at home with our closest friends! It is good enough for us.
And for LA, she was more interested in blowing the two candles. :)
Lucas has joined us for six months already!
I have learnt that he is uniquely him.
And it makes it not a totally smooth and parenting-idiot proof one!
But he is just that cute little boy, somehow and anyhow just melts my heart each time I look at him, and release that love and grace for him.
Well, in other words, as what Ad puts it, mummy's boy.
1. On a Balloon.
2. On LA's little bottom.
The inaguration of spanking in the house today... For (prolonged) fussing at mealtimes.
She thought it was a fun thing coming up before the entire episode came about.
Nope, I was not in the state of venting out.
Totally calm, if I were to describe myself.
But my head was cleared of frustration at her inital shock by the whip followed by cry.
It was ministry time after that...
My conclusion:
Dun think I will go that option again. Not for the heartache, but cos it did not made her eat even after that!
3. Hold A LADYBIRD.
A RARE Guest!
btw, it also showed that she is freed from any 'truama' from the spanking earlier in the day!
It has proved NOT easy starting solids with Lucas.
An uphill journey...
As Glen rightly prayed last night, the word is DISHEARTENED. So glad that Ad called her, cos her prayer ministered so much to me. And with practical advice to solve the situation too.
So today is finally the day with the first glimpse of a ray of hope.
Lucas finished his cereal for breakfast, lunch and dinner!
And so, it was a celebration with my dear friend with a long-awaited night out shopping and sit-down talk.
Thank you Glen!
It was a success starting Lucas on solids today!
I decided to start this week cos Ad's going to be busy from next week onwards; I really need him to be with me in this! The boy's in his 4th week of 5 months already!
There were struggles to start him on solids cos I tried a few weeks back and he just cried. I was not too enthusiastic about it actually... Ya, I guess the word is NERVOUS.
He cried after a few seconds on the highchair today. Thank God for daddy who coaxed him a bit and he was comfortable in it after a while. And he finished the stuff pretty well. LA was well behaved too; both of us just needa concentrate in encouraging the boy to swallow the cereal. So proud of her! :)
We are going to try it again later today. And tommorrow. And the weekend.
Then I will be on my own!
Sigh!!! Not been feeling good this entire week! Headaches, backaches, funny feeling in the nose and throat...
Not sure if it's due to the lack of good sleep the whole of last week (with the loud thunder and lightnings in the wee mornings like 5am!).
Or cos of the super wierd weather that swings from extremes; sunny and hot one moment to the raining and humid the next.
Not a great feeling!
And my hp got hung! sighz... of all times.
Not that I cant assess the stuff in the phone... but the phone memory's full! Yet, the attached memory card is 76G free! But I can't (or duno!) howda change the setting for storage to be done into the memory card!
Aiya... Very troublesome now cos I cant even send out sms. Pretty much as good as cannot assess to anything except reading.
And I gotta delete stuff from the notes, message box etc to free memory, just to sms.
Perhaps I have been taking too many pics and viv of my two darling babies which took up all the memory space.
BUT I cant even transfer them to my lappy now! Really duno wats wrong and it is just frustrating!!!! And nope, no way am I going to delete them from the phone!
Too lazy and tired to read the manual to fix this now!
I will just wait till I cannot stand this anymore.
Hi Mabel! Thanks for dropping a note! Yes, let's all jia you! Seeing you (and great daddy Evan!!) every Sunday... read more
on Special Kid?
