Caitlin had to be in school early today, for an excursion to the zoo. Their chartered bus would have to leave at a time when we are usually only leaving home, effectively some 20-30 minutes out. So there was an idea for Caitlin to spend the night at Grandma’s, since it’s so much closer to [...]

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 [...]

Our Sunday afternoon…

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 [...]

How to be a Big sister to a little brother…

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 [...]

At one stage I did want to try sporting a crew cut. Call it chicken, call it because-my-hair-is-thinning. It’s because the shape of my head will only make me look (more) silly. But my son sports it well- the second time proves it wasn’t a fluke Sigh… Yes- That is drool on his chin…
Lazy Sunday afternoon..

Caleb: Is making a lot of “noise” now, with.. buh-bye; Grr-grr- “go-go” is what is uttered whenever we are ready to go out. Now he’s the one telling us we should go out. Ma’am-mee (nope, still not calling Daddee); circa and dar (“circle” and “star”, when Daddee was doodling with him); tonne-ner whenever we enter [...]
