The Star is Up

by

*Suppose to have posted this earlier 🙂 *

Finally, our house is filled with the Christmas mood. The Christmas tree has been set up with the theme for this year…GOLD!  

I have additional helper this year in helping me to decorate the ornaments. 

But he is still too short so can just look from down while Daddy put up the highlight of the tree…the STAR! 

Jonathan boy would exclaimed, “Mimi…see! Kismah tee (Christmas tree)!”  And when we on the Christmas tree lights, he is facinated, “See…Light!”

Look! These presents are waiting to be unwraped by its owner!!

And my boy can’t wait to open his present from Daddy & Mommy.  He wants to take it down himself and place it under the Christmas tree.

Some thing new this year as we put up a wreath which I decorated it myself. 

And I learned from Crafty-Crafted the foam Christmas Tree ornament which Darling decided to hang it on the door.

This little boy is a great helper to Daddy too. He enjoyed being carried up high to hang those foam Christmas tree.

Lastly…wishing all of you a Blessed Christmas with your loved ones.

Daddy Teach Naughty Stuff

by

Incident #1

In the bathroom after shower…

Jonathan: Mimi, I want put up there. (Wants to hang the shower head on the handle)

Me: It’s ok. Mommy help you to put up there.

Jonathan: No, no…I want put up there. *Started to throw tantrum*

Me: You are so heavy. Mommy can’t carry you. (Imagine a 6 months preggie carrying a 13kg object up to the sky)

Jonathan: No… I want Mimi carry.

 

Incident #2

Jonathan in the bath tub with Mommy watching beside…

Jonathan: Attempt to reach high up to the soap holder hanging on the wall. Eeeik…..successful! The soap drop in the bath tub. Happily, pick up the soap and start rubbing it on the bath tub, bath toys and wall.

**************************************

One night, my conversation with Darling…

Me: Darling, you let Jonathan hang the shower head ar?

Darling: Yup. Why?

Me: No wonder. You know, he ask me to carry him to hang the shower head. How to carry him with a big tummy like this lar.

Darling: *Smile*

Me: Then must be you who let him play with the soap.

Darling:  Ok mah…

Me: As if. He took the soap and rub it on the bath toys lar. If didn’t clean up the soap, it will leave stain on the toys.

Darling: *Smile*

I know after Darling read this post, he will say the same to me… “Mommy teach naughty stuff too. Eat junk food right after meals.” 😛

Joke of the Day

by

Jonathan boy and myself are a fan of Wyeth.  He grew up with Wyeth since he was in my tummy.  He then started with Wyeth gold series of S-26 (0 – 6 months), Promil (6 – 12 months) and now Progress (1 – 3 y/o). I find that Wyeth has all the nutrition essential for a growing child and not very expensive.  Furthermore, I prefer to stay with the same brand for the continuity of its nutrition.

Ok, back to the topic. As I am expecting #2, I need calcium. After finishing all the milk samples I received, I bought a tin of Wyeth Mama and placed it together with Jonathan’s milk powder.  I am the one who ensure we have sufficient stock and replenish Jonathan’s milk powder when it runs low.

The drama happened last week. It so happened that Jonathan boy had not been asking for milk before bed time for 2 days and so I did not check if there are still milk powder left in the tin.  The following day, no more milk powder left in the tin and MIL had to open a new tin. You see, Wyeth milk product in tin came with a BLUE lid.  MIL noticed a tin of milk powder with blue lid at Jonathan’s food area and thought that was Jonathan’s milk powder and coincidentally it was still unopened. When she opened it, she was wondering why the scoop is different which is bigger and different in colour. She thought it’s a new formula and continue to make milk for Jonathan.

When I came back from work, I saw Jonathan’s empty milk powder tin and a foil cover in it. I can sense something is not right so immediately open my Wyeth Mama.  Jackpot! It was opened and the foil cover was gone. So Jonathan boy had been drinking Wyeth Mama for the whole day today!  And yet he gulped down everything. 

This is what happen when you are not a fussy eater! *ROFL*

My MIL can only read simple Chinese character and she didn’t really notice the picture on the tin…a pregnant lady vs. a lion.

Our Prayer for Our Baby

by

When I was conceiving Jonathan, I had this prayer every day. I had it on my office desktop and read this prayer every morning before I start off the day. Indeed, God answered my prayer.

The same prayer for our little one that is somersaulting gracefully in my tummy now.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Dear Lord,

Thank you for the blessing of a new life that comes out of our love union.

We ask you to bless and protect our baby, to fill it with your love, your peace and your joy
– to surround this little baby with the warmth of your love.

We ask you to help it grow and develop into the beautiful child you want it to be. And pray that our baby be filled with as much of the life and spirit of God as his little being can receive.

We pray that God’s love and our love pour into this little baby, so that our baby will feel welcome and at home in this world.

Thank you for this baby and for blessing us and entrusting us with this new life. Teach and guide us in taking good care of this little being in my womb.

 We consecrated our baby to God while he is still in the womb; we asked God the Father to accept him as Your children and to protect him from harm.

In Jesus Christ most precious name we pray, AMEN.

Cyberhome Was Down For 4 Days

by

Our Cyberhome got hacked and it took quite a while for my Darling IT expert to get it up. It happened when Darling’s notebook got hacked and passwords got stolen. That was what Darling explained to me in layman’s term. It’s back to normal now. Thanks, Darling…I know you can do it.
