Cardboard DIY kitchen for toddler

Monday, October 29th, 2007

Given my enjoyment in putting this up with Caitlin, & despite it taking as long & as much of my lung capacity as it did, I think I will also enjoy trying out this craft for her. I have left a message on the author's blog whether I could plagiarise her ...

Baby names!

Saturday, October 27th, 2007

So we went for the follow-up check up this week. Happy to report baby & Mummee doing well. I think Mummee said something about putting on 11kg's since becoming pregnant; she is due mid-Jan, so that's.... 6+ months now. On the way home in the car ride tonight, Caitlin again expressed ...

Dancing (shoes) with toddler

Friday, October 26th, 2007

Okay, this is the first review of a product that I am not using / do not own, nor am I getting paid for this! I came across this, & just knew I had to share my "discovery"! Before Mummee (& other men) start labelling me as being such a softy: I do ...

Carjacking & toddler is in the car! Precautions & preventions

Thursday, October 25th, 2007

I have received email-chains from friends on recounts on people who have been carjacked, how it happened, & where. Admittedly I have only skimmed these emails, picking out keywords on the locations & the MO used. I am writing this post with interest now because over the weekend, a colleague fell ...

Your birth!

Thursday, October 18th, 2007

You know, Caitlin, that the day you were due to be born, Mummee & Daddee still attended Aunty Ivy's wedding dinner? Everyone was amazed that Mummee & Daddee actually turned up at the banquet hall despite telling everyone that we may have to give it a miss! Do you remember ...

It took up my whole living room!

Tuesday, October 16th, 2007

Long weekend. Yayy! I had promised myself that I would do stuff with Caitlin: Go for swims, possibly to the kids gym again, & possibly the following activity- which I did. Mommee's cousin sister was more interested in watching / imagining Daddee's blowjob (as she put it) than the real intention ...

Daddee: How about on your bed?

Getting on, Daddee!

Thursday, October 11th, 2007

My father's not bald, he's just got very fine hair. Not thin hair, just fine hair, as in skinny strands of hair. I told my older brother (who's got thicker hair than I, in both sense of the description) that my hairdresser commented that I am not balding despite my joking ...

Explaining “money” to a toddler

Monday, October 8th, 2007

I stumbled onto this: 10 Lessons to Teach Your Kids About Money, which advocates that kids should be taught the value of money, along with a few suggestions to practise the habit of budgeting. As a reader commented, these seem to be more applicable to older kids; and, at least to ...

Breakthrough parenting

Wednesday, October 3rd, 2007

I found this PDF poster on a parenting "coaching" site- Breakthrough Parenting Services. I am going to find a colour printer, & put up this poster on the fridges of my inlaw's & my own. In a nutshell, the poster is advocating positive reinforcements of a toddler's behaviour. I am happy ...

Coughing baby & TBF poo’s

Tuesday, October 2nd, 2007

I have a 2 month old boy who is coughing. I took him to a GP who prescribed antibiotics. I am not sure if this is a good thing. Can you comment on this? It depends on what the cause of the cough is. Most of the time, the cause is viral and ...
