I am kinda struggling with this one. Caitlin, in general is sweet to her younger brother Caleb. Since she was able to walk, she’d been fascinated by other humans her size. So, I guess it shouldn’t be too much of a surprise that she is so, to her little brother. However, having been the only [...]

I started this blog about 2 years ago now. Caitlin would have been about 2.5 years old then. If memory serves me right, I would have already done this memorable (at least to me) routine with her already: HM was always working late, so it was up to me to tuck Caitlin into bed. At [...]

I have mentioned about his shifty eyes, looking at Daddee funny with an attitude, when he was only 6 months old. Now he doesn’t look at me when I tell him off. He’d sometimes take forever to finish his bottle of milk. 3/4 through and he’d stop, get off the sofa, wanders around for whatever [...]

“Back in the day” when I was single and first started out having my own (bachelor’s) pad, I went and got myself a beanbag- a double seater beanbag, for bringing dates home, cook them dinner, maybe get them to watch a DVD with me on this beanbag hoping to lead somewhere *wink* Somehow it was [...]

What’s your parenting kryptonite?

Hissychick blogged about this. I had wanted to respond there with mine, but didn’t quite know which one to mention, until this morning. Last night / wee hours this morning Caleb woke crying. Mind you his cries are a combo of wail and screams. And kept on crying and crying. And crying and crying and [...]

How old before babies start to stand and walk?

Caleb turned 1 in Jan ’09. Today he did these…. And then, for the first time(s?) in his life, he stood! The following pic was actually not the first time he managed to stand. That first time that he did manage to stand, we broke into cheers and applause that frightened him, and literally made [...]
