The Story of a Secret Garden In a Pacifier...

Praise the Lord!!! Jedi has been weaned off his pacifier!! We used to dread hearing his cry aat night looking for his pacifier and we had to wake up just to pop it back into his mouth!!!! We have been praying hard as to how and when to wean it off and we were really dreading the consequences!! Then I realized yesterday that there was an ecosystem of algae rapidly springing up inside his pacifier teat! showed it to him and made the most horrified expression and said in the most horrified way:"Jedi!! Your pacifier is soooooooooooooooooooooooooo disgusting! Its black! Yucks!"and with a dramatic fling the pacifier was flung across the room. Then, gingerly I picked it up and let him see the greenish alage inside and he looked really horrified!!!! hahaha! He refused to have his pacifier and even threw it away into the dustbin on his own!Slept through the night without it as well without a fuss or crying! Really Praise the Lord!!! Fear Factor for a 23 month old!
hmmmm parenthood sometimes seems to be about being good actors and actressess! wahahaha!

Forks and Spoons

I LOVE Chicken Meatloaf! Mummy's first attmept tasted nice although the presentation was a little burnt on top! Getiing steadier with the spoon now and feeding the floor a little less now!Still mastering the fork which I don't quite get at times

Seeing the World the Right Way Round!

Wow! Things do look different now! I can finally begin my posing lessons with Mummy! As you can see, like my bro I need prayers over the Hair Department!

Tock Tock Tick Tock

Wanted to pen this down so that I can look back and see how we juggled our two little ones. As I write I realise that mummyhood has changed my personality!! I was an I S (for those who know personality diagnosis) but I think I have become a C S!!! I have NEVER been so structured in my enitre life!! However, I have learnt that although there are times that I feel life is out of control, I tell myself that kids are like balls...they bounce arond with endless energy and sap the living daylights out of you...but with God's strength (def not ours!!) they can be juggled!!

Bottle Donation to My Mei Mei and Learning to Drive

I have finally decided to give all my baby bottles to my mei mei! see I'm such a generous bro!! I'm now drinking from my new cup with a straw! *Clap clap!*
Also, I have finally dicovered how to play with the big car of mine that Daddy bought me. I thought it was all the while one of my cars that I line up to parallel park every day! Thanks to Cousin Garyth kor kor who bravely got on and showed me how to drive like a cool dude!
I'm a BIG boy! But I still have a long way ahead to get even BIGGER!!
