She doesn’t find my jokes funny all the time anymore.
She doesn’t tell me everything that’s bugging her, or what she is thinking anymore.
I saw a bag of her old clothes ready to be given away- that she has grown out of. Spotted a pair of shorts that she likes / wears quite often.
She doesn’t find [...]
How did I spend it?
Father’s Day isn’t really a big thing in my own family, but it is a little bigger in Hot Mummee’s (not a major thing, just bigger than mine).
Since we usually spend our weekends at my parents’ place (my kids rarely get to see them during the week), today we had dinner [...]
Caitlin’s classmate Chloe had her birthday party at Centrepoint’s McDonald’s over the weekend.
I had organized Caitlin’s 4 year old birthday party before, and one of my criteria was that all the kids should enjoy the party or event. I did consider McD’s then, but didn’t think it was going to be all that fun, as [...]
It was a successful affair! We had achieved the desired outcome!
My parents had invited close relatives and friends, and had wanted to keep the affair not-to-big. So naturally the guest list was crafted by them. Seatings were also generally determined by them, as sometimes one has to try and please as many as possible [...]
When Caitlin had her 4th birthday party, I had invited these particular two friends of hers.
The first is a friend over a year older than her. Their Mummees have known each other before they knew their respective husbands, and naturally when both had daughters, they play when the adults get together. The second is a [...]
So it was Caitlin and Caleb’s grandpa’s birthday dinner tonight. I wore my almost-10-years old Dockers. It’s a bit tight, but still manageable, barely, to be honest.
I also wore a ribbed polo shirt. Fitting but not tight. Quite a dressy one.
In the car I was in the backseat, with Caitlin on my lap; Hot [...]
Gone are the days when:
I can still carry you easily because you weren’t so heavy…
You listen to everything I say without question…
When all you ask are simple questions that Daddee has an answer for…
I lie with you till you fall asleep… well, I still do but we are trying not to do that too much [...]
Caitlin will be turning 4 this week.
From experience of Caitlin’s 3rd birthday party, it was quite a task trying to organise a toddler’s party. We had some “trouble” thinking of who to invite: Caitlin hadn’t started school yet, her nearest cousins are at least 10 years older than her, she only has ONE toddler friend. [...]
You know how peer reviews are among the most respected write-ups in terms of integrity, authenticity, and recognition, in respective industries and fields of studies?
Well, for me, I think endorsements from fellow bloggers and readers are just as significant.
Fellow blogger, parent, and offline friend Moomykin has given Daddeeyah! an award!
Thanks, Moomykin, for this award! This [...]
September actually marked this blog’s 13th (or so!) month – yes I even forgot my own project’s “birthday”! Don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten any real human’s birthday; until and unless someone proves me wrong!
It’s been an enriching experience.
I have changed themes three times, trying to stick to using that smiley-faced candle / banner;
I have [...]
Despite not having enough kids to invite & Daddee’s fumbling in organising it, Caitlin’s birthday party didn’t turn out too bad after all…
Admittedly Mummee, Daddee & Caitlin were out during the most of the day, only coming back to start the preparations a tad too late!
We were going to host the party at the common [...]
