Dr Pixie warned before that children reaching 2 will start to push the envelope with you. Caleb turned 2 this January. But this post isn’t about him. Last night I smacked Caitlin- the grab-her-arm-so-she-can’t-run-away smack; the night before Hot Mummee smacked her too. I have had long car-ride talks with her about being the big sister to Caleb- [...] I was just reading this article about disciplining children, and reminded me of what had happened only this morning. Granted it would always be the parents’ fault if children don’t get sufficient sleep/not going to bed early enough. Of late, I have found that Caitlin would still wake at around the same time in the morning, [...] So how many of us realise; and how often do we remind ourselves, that whatever we do, say, behave, respond to situations, treat our own loved ones and other fellow human beings, we are being watched by the little kids around us? Sometimes when I make a passing remark, opinion, upcoming event or plans, Caitlin would [...] School kids nationwide are on holidays from this weekend on. Caitlin has some holiday homework to do for the week off school, from (as far as I can see- gotta check her bag/books) 3 subjects of English, Malay and Chinese. Each of them have a date on the homework pages for respective dates of the week- [...] I have this really old and (therefore) oversized tank top; probably got it from Petaling Street many years ago. I wear it to bed, and sometimes don’t change out of it, and even go out getting take away lunch- it gets hot okay! Besides I am only going to get hawker-food lunch, nothing fancy (as long [...] Woken by the kids, got them some morning snacks, and since it wasn’t too sunny and hot…. Luckily for everyone, Caleb actually likes to push from behind. But it won’t be long though, before he’d be wanting to ride. Yes, they were still in their jammies. It’s Sunday okay- give us parents a break! Evening came and it [...] 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 child for [...] 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 her [...] 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 a [...] I have always had 2 pairs of sunglasses. They both live in my car, naturally, for driving. The first pair I got before we had kids. It’s rather fancy in that it’s a wire framed one and therefore rather fragile. The second pair I got probably 2 years ago, from a golf shop. It’s the polarised [...] “Nnn-more”.. with the rotate of the hands / wrist (most Asians use this gesture to indicate so). He uses it for indicating something’s gone. He uses it when he presses the remote and something else (not what he wants) comes on. He uses it when the show’s end credits start scrolling. He uses it for indicating he’s got nothing [...] I wonder if this happens in other cultures / countries. Taken from today’s The Star list of popular articles. Sex affair just to spite parents KUALA LUMPUR: More underage girls are having sex to get back at their parents for neglecting them. This startling information was revealed by police who said that the girls had initially claimed [...] Friday morning we were getting ready for work and school respectively. Fridays are when Caitlin’s school has a wading session in their small pool. Since she’s always loved the pool it was always a welcomed day; that as well as an early-age adoption of the adult TGIF concept (she doesn’t seem to like school as [...] I started this post earlier, then other things got in the way, such as bring-home-work and kids-needing-Daddee stuff, and Daddee needing sleep stuff so that Daddee can bring more bring-home-work for Hot Mummee to complain about! So how was your weekend? Mine was fairly interesting. Saturday morning was when Caitlin’s school scheduled the year’s first parent teacher [...] Hot Mummee and I had a chat with Caitlin on Thursday night, after I had updated HM (her majesty!) on what’s been going on with Caitlin’s schooling this week year. Since Saturday was a schoolday (replacements for Chinese New Year long break) we decided to go chat with Teacher Rachel again. Turns out that Teacher Rachel has [...] Those of you invited, or know people who are invited, please don’t disclose this. It is my parents’ 50th anniversary this year, and also a joint celebration for my mum’s birthday. But my dad doesn’t want people to know these. He is kinda shy about it, you see. Also, both my parents just want friends and family to [...] I didn’t think it would escalate to this point. I thought I had addressed it with her properly; case closed. But alas. Yesterday was the first day back in school after the Chinese New Year week-long break. When Grandpa went to pick her up, apparently he was told by Teacher Rachel something about Caitlin crying earlier. This morning [...] |
