- understanding that words have meaning
- sees that words and sentences are read from left to right
- can hear specific sounds in words.
These are just some [...]

Kids, the instant faucets

Is this true or not?
When you admonish them for doing something illegal (in your house), they turn on the faucets. And so easily too. Sometimes, with a loud wail. Sometimes, with a whimper and a look that says, “B-b-b-b-b-ut… I didn’t mean to!!”.
Like yesterday, my mother-in-law introduced the *rotan to them. Oh..how they mocked her! [...]

Heh..obviously, I’m talking about No.2. Having three kids, the middle kid is gonna feel somewhat left out. So, when I had this [...]

Belting up - is that all to it?

I read Giddy Tiger’s post on baby car seats and how Malaysia has finally made it mandatory, as at 1 June 2008 for all rear seat passengers to belt up. This came as a pleasant surprise to me, as for years I have often wondered if Malaysia would even think of enforcing such a ruling. [...]

Write Reviews, No Scams

It’s not that easy to make money online nowadays. I mean, I actually clicked on one link that promised me freedom to work from home and make a 4 figure monthly income…and what did it ask me to do? Pay them USD89.99 to join. But wait………there was a flashing image that told me that I [...]

Blocked!

One of my ducts got blocked!
Panic! Panic! Panic!

Panic! Panic! Panic!
Tried to use electric pump, maxed it to the highest suction power. It just left with extremely swollen nips.
Panic! Panic! Panic!
Tried using a hot bottle warmer to warm [...]

Aluminium Party!

Thanks to HijackQueen..I had fun with my kid.
He’s been a robot boy for quite some time already, because he can ‘mechanize’ his voice..and it tickles him so.
I had fun ‘dressing’ him up…and he had fun, walking and talking like a robot.
Ah….I hope this moment will stay with him for the rest of his life…along with [...]

Sacked!

I’m quite a strong supporter of Sleep-sacks. Ever since, it came out, I’ve been sourcing for cheap and/or secondhand ones. The original sleep-sack, Grobag, at that time, was really unaffordable and I really didn’t understand the ‘tog’ term.

Contented and Happy

I had not dared blog about this earlier, becoz I didn’t want to jinx it. But, tonight I got a sign that everything will be alright from now on.
Few weeks ago, I was complaining about No.3 and how much he screamed the place down. To be honest, he did scream in his first 5-6 weeks [...]

Rejected!

I’m so dead!
No.3 is rejecting his bottle of EBM everynight! By giving him a bottle of EBM from Day 10, I was assured of the amount he took, hence he woke up only once a night.
Now…he has a sudden dislike of latex nipples and prefers the real ones instead! He literally screams at the sight [...]
