Did your toddler develop a fever and then a rash 3 days later?

August 22nd, 2009 · 4 Comments · A father's POV, Ailments & cures, Caleb the heir, Dr Pixie says

Caleb did. When he first developed the fever on Sunday, we didn’t think much about it, only perhaps he’d caught something; maybe from his sister. But you wouldn’t know it. Caleb has been running around being his cheeky self, toddling around in circles at tv jingles, walking after HM when he sees her, playing and [...]

Paper chicken soup, or ABC soup

August 10th, 2009 · 4 Comments · A toddler's POV, Ailments & cures, Caitlin the heiress, Food & feeding, Parenting musing, Photo opp

Caitlin had fever on Sunday. So she didn’t attend her 1st session of her art class (actually it would be her 2nd session, they allowed her a trial session last weekend to assess her: behaviour, “standard” of her skills like drawing & painting, etc, to decide which level / class to put her). We decided [...]

Differences in parenting

June 11th, 2009 · 2 Comments · A father's POV, A toddler's POV, Ailments & cures, Caitlin the heiress, Parenting musing, Parenting rules

Yeah, I have been rather lazy on this blog- I know. So here’s the “dilemma” in the making; one that we will very likely come across in our role as parents; likely more than once in fact. Say you have more than 1 child in the family. You have planned for a getaway- be it [...]

Absent parents are home..

March 9th, 2009 · 6 Comments · A father's POV, A toddler's POV, Ailments & cures, Caitlin the heiress, Caleb the heir, Parenting musing

Hot Mummee and I came home on Sunday morning. The flight from Melbourne arrived KL at 5am local time; I booked the overnight one to save a day(light) for when we arrived, but didn’t realise till later that it actually arrived that early. But in any case, we did “gain” a full day despite my [...]

Nappy rash

January 24th, 2009 · 4 Comments · Ailments & cures, Caleb the heir, Dr Pixie says, Ergonomics, Parenting rules

Talk about sitting on it. About a month or so back, due to bad parenting on our part, we had neglected to ensure Caleb was changed quickly and often enough. It’s “interesting” that being in contact with urine long enough creates such a reaction on human skin. At first we weren’t too sure what the [...]

Is it time to invest / administer scar treatment cream / ointment?

January 22nd, 2009 · 1 Comment · A father's POV, A toddler's POV, Ailments & cures, Caitlin the heiress, Ergonomics, Photo opp, The future

The following is the picture I was taking, when I was talking to Caitlin about indecently exposing oneself and being aware of molestations. Looking and touching the burn site now, it feels almost like regular skin. I still don’t probe it very much, fearing that it may still be tender for her and inadvertently hurting [...]

How to get rid of scarring?

January 19th, 2009 · 4 Comments · A father's POV, Ailments & cures, Caitlin the heiress, Parenting musing

So all the dry brown skin has pretty much “dropped off” the wound / site now; leaving a pink patch (or “continent” as one of Caitlin’s cousin exclaimed) there. It still looks quite fragile, so we’ll leave it for at least another week before we begin considering indulging in (one of) her favourite activities- the [...]
