The boy has been 'sticky' to us, which made us hardly able to be out of sight from him.
Separation anxiety.... another feared stage of a baby. Face the screams and wails of the baby if you are too far away!
Perhaps it is more for Luc cos he come close to many people daily.
Not easy for me this season! I could hardly do anything like usual when I am with him, worse when the older one is around.
Well, the consolation is- I would have him doing it next time even if I want him to!
Treasure every stage of his development!
I was soooo touched.
A few weeks ago, she volunteered to pray for hub, ah boy and I after we prayed our daily prayer over her before she went to bed.
We were so proud of her!
Tonite, we said our usual prayers and we were waiting for her to say,'Pray for mummy.'
Instead she said,'Leianne pray for mummy.'
Surprised, we said OK.
And she said in her limited vocab on her own (almost exactly as how we led her to pray for the past weeks):
Dear Jesus, thank you for mummy, (because she) feed me, play with me, bathe me... bless mummy, (that she will) sleep well, sleep through the night, (so she will) wake up a happy mummy.
Similarly, she did it for daddy and di di as well.
Tears just welled up hearing her pray.
Goosh, nothing we do is in vain!
It's a milestone I want to keep! :)
We deliberated on this issue for the longest time- sending LA to play group.
Parents nagged us. Friends asked why.
One reason why we decided that I stay at home is to be able to teach and bring the kids up myself- not merely education, but moral values as well- which we hold more firmly in. Exposing her too early into the world may mean a whole baggage of trashy values and habits to clean up later.
The delay in sending her there is also due to the worry of various transmitting diseases that her young body may not be able to fight off- we may end up paying both the school and the doc, spending what we will be saving if she stays at home and less heart ache and trouble nursing her back to health.
To Ad, she will have a lifetime of schooling to do, and he want to spare her of this agony as late as possible.
And lastly, for myself, I will miss her.
But seeing the need to prepare her for school and also spending more concentrated time with Lucas, we finally made the first payment for school in Jan next year.
She always replies 'Yes' when we ask her if she would like to go school. But I reckon that she probably saw the kids playing toys in the few schools which we visited during some of our morning walks.
For now, it's more preparation to do; build up her immune system with the necessary jabs, supplements, toilet training, double up on keeping her hygiene practices etc.
And mommy letting go when the time comes.
Wow! For the first time I had to type in my own blog site! An indication how long I have not written anything aye! ;0
Today's a nice little break for me cos my FIL n MIL took the little darling gal to the Jurong Bird Park this morning; since they are back in Singapore for a short vacation. Thank God for them!
In 20min, the excited little gal cleaned up all the toys and books, dressed all already to go. In the back of my mind, I was quite looking forward to a nice little break, and wonder if I should suggest that she takes her afternoon nap in their place since there's an available cot there.
However, the missing quickly set in not long after they left. I could still heard her excited chattering at the lift lobby that it was her first time outing with her grand pams. But when the quietness of the house came shortly after, I could help but had some teary eyes and called my dear hub for some comfort. I wonder how I'd cope with her going to school next time!
I tried to nap after preparing the babies' meals; feeling a bit unfamiliar with the 'extra' time I had. This pocket of free time has stopped when Luc came along and LA dropped her morning nap.
So I cleared some of the financing chores and emails, catch up with FB a bit...
And blogging!!!!

I reckoned that many a times, I could go further than I thought I could; lesser sleep, lesser leisure and more with God. It was most revealing when I could not resist the temptation and bought the full set of 生命注定我爱你. And finished it in a week by sacrificing my afternoon naps and night talks with my hub (and I felt pretty bad about it!). Not to mention my QT.
Is it an over-proclaimation to my right to my rest as a busy mom of two?
Or lack of discipline or self control?
In fact, there will be a thousand and one thing I could do (being or not being the housewife) except reading the Word.
On Sunday, God reminded me and called me out of the OT times; when the people of God could not get near to Him but could only rely on the High Priest for a word or offering. Now, I am too, living like that; only hearing the Word at cell and Sunday service; relying on the pastor and cell leader.
Remember the veil's torn!!!
I still remember the song that was sung as I asked God for forgiveness; and yes, I felt it flowing into me. And the lyrics was so meaningful then;
Freely You gave it all for us
Surrendered your life upon that cross
Great is the love poured out for all.
This is our God!
Today is Thursday! And it will be a new beginning for me- THIS AFTERNOON! Just see! :)

PS: I just received a call from my mil cos the little gals was crying for me. A bit worried for their impending lunch- I wonder if she would want to eat her lunch then... But it was also somewat comforting to me- I am her mummy and she is my little gal. :)
I was so so soooooo ANGRY with them yesterday!
Guess it was a build up of lack of quality sleep, solitary breaks (and my shopping sprees!!!!), and frustration over ah boy's transition from cereal to porridge.
Well, I needa accept that my expectations are probably too high, and setbacks and trials are part of the bundle of joy package.
Thank God for my dar dar hub who came back earlier to rescue me for a mini relaxing therapy.
So here I am, partially re-charged for the last day of the week!!!
Daddy's taking over for the weekends!
HU-RRAY FOR DADDY!!!!
Anyway, look at these two darlings... who can ever be angry with them for that long!
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!
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. :)
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!
