Barber's cut

One day during the school holiday I brought the kids for their hair cut. The boys prefer the traditional barber shop for their hair cut. 

This old barber shop is very antique. Uses old stuff that you could not see around anymore.

First thing first, some snack for the youngest one. He must have snack while have his hair cut. Tough customer he is.

Jay was happily sitting in the seat.

Back to school

The kids are back to school and 1st week of school has just over!!! 

Jay on his 1st day of school with Jan. Both looked happy to go to school.

Jay in his Primary 1 class. By then he looked anxious but fortunately his young class lady teacher is good so he did not complained much for the time being.

Still on orientation so Jay would not be studying his textbooks and having homeworks for the 1st 3 weeks.

As for Jan, she would be busier as ever as she is entering P4. Been chosen to be class monitor this year and there would be extra-curriculum in the afternoon. She is planning to join Girl's Brigade. 

So, happy schooling! 

Keep it alive

I know, I have been absent from this blog for quite sometimes. So I thought of jotting something down here to keep it alive.

Lately this week, we have a very serious haze and schools were ordered to close for 4 days. So I were basically stuck with my 3 active kids for most of the days. Thank goodness I am a SAHM so it was not much a hassle unlike most working moms who had to take emergency leaves or brought their kids to work.

We mostly stayed indoor. The kids know how to entertain themselves. My girl's year end exam is postponed by 1 week but took some times to revise at home.

Looking at the kids, I am blessed to have them. They grow healthily and well, lovable and fun to be with. They can be a nuisance and handful sometime but it is a blessing for me. I could not have ask more.

Jay is going to graduate from kindergarden soon and next year he is joining his sister in primary school. It is Jamie's turn to go to kindergarden next year. A great milestone for both boys. I am anxious for both of them!!

As for Jan, she has gone through quite a lot this year. She learns swimming and arts class in addition to her piano class. Next year she would be sitting for her piano grade 2 exam. 

She may be only 9 years old (and counting) but I feel she has that teenager attitude and style in her. Oh dear, she is no longer a young toddler but growing to be a strong-willed and smart young girl that every mummies want to be friend with. I bet she would be my best friend when she enters her teen.

Ok. That is some updates from me. Till the next post, which I am not sure when, happy blogging!!

Co-sleep with us

It has been more than a month since Jay moved back to our room and sleep with us. Since the last semester holidays, he sleeps with us and does not want to move back to his own room!

Thought I finally managed to get him sleep on his own but look like after that holiday, he reluctant to go back to his room. Giving me so many excuses not to move back.

So I guess he will stay with us for some period of time. Maybe when Jamie is 3, we will get him and Jay to sleep together in their own room. 

Having a blogger mom + my thought

One thing about having a blogger as a mom? I got documented since birth to every milestones and birthdays.

I am going to be 19-months old in less than 2 weeks time.

I have always been a feisty baby but most of the times, curiosity gets the better of me. I never say never to anything till I try it.

I am headstrong, stubborn and has a temper of a bull, mummy said. And I also love to scream. Mummy said I have a very high-pitch shriek that could shatter the glasses! But I know deep inside, I am my mummy's boy.

Next year, I will be going to school, mummy told me. Guess I have been too naughty or disobedient at home and mummy want to send me off to school. But I would be happy to meet new friends, socialise and learn more things in school.

For now, mummy is home-schooling me but most of the times, I never listen to her. Prefer to play with balls and blocks than those ABC and 123. But I like to doodle whenever I can grab a pencil.

I also started to be potty-trained. Still not able to aim properly into the potty and I prefer to wet the floor. Not in time to reach the potty.

My birthday is 5 months away. Wonder anything special on my birthday? We shall find out.

Happy Year of Goat

Just want to wish everyone a Happy Chinese New Year and Gong Xi Fa Chai!

Have a Baa-lastic year!

Short of updates

Oh dear. The last post here was a week ago. Have been busy (spell lazy) to write lately. Nothing much to post actually. Life goes on, everything almost the same and we do the same stuff every day. 

I would not be updating much over here unless something significant and important. As you are aware, this blog is dedicated to my children. So I will only update if it is important.

However you can check out my other blog which is more of my personal ranting and writing. 

Ciao. Till then, thank you for all your supports and comments. I will be back but not that soon. ^^

Separate rooms

Since last Monday, Jan and Jay has been sleeping in their own rooms. Jan moved back to her own room after her leaking problem has been done. No more leaking from the room and the hole in the ceiling has been patched up.

She was happily moving her stuff out from Jay's room last week. She told me the other day that she was happy in her room and she can do her own things in there. >_<

As for Jay, he was a bit hesitate to sleep alone in his room so for 1st few days I have to check on him from time to time. Now he feels braver to sleep by himself. 

Now do I feel my kids have grown up? Yes, they do. Feel happy yet melancholy at the same time. Now left Jamie sleeping in our room but I guess in another 2 or 3 years time he will be sleeping in the same room with his brother. 

On their own

Both Jan and Jay have been sleeping together in a room for a week now.

We basically put up 2 mattresses in Jay's room for the kids. Going to buy a double-decker for the boys' room but since Jamie is still young, we will not get the double decker that fast.

Jan is supposed to sleep in her own room but we discovered her bedroom ceiling is leaking so need to fix that problem 1st before she can move and sleep on her own. So for now, she has to put up with Jay in his room. I think it is a great idea to have both together in a room as Jay is afraid to sleep alone and needs a companion. Hopefully he will be able to sleep on his own in his room when Jan is to move back to her room.

For now both kids are happy to be together. And the little one also love to visit and play with them in the bedroom. 

Our weekend

Weekend is just tomorrow. So will be busy with keeping the workstation clean and mess l-free, bringing kids for breakfast, smiling at Jamie playing with his toy cars and keeping up with the piling unfolded laundry!

Happy weekend, guys!

Time to ponder

We are in midst of an important decision. Big J let me decided on this move and finally we agreed that we shall stick together as a family.

It is a big move. A bit scare actually thinking of it because we would not know what future holds. Only can pray to God to guide us along the way. 

Date rules

Don't worry, my Princess is still small.  Not into the dating field for many years more.  But I find this nice picture online for sharing here.

Of course as a mum, I would expect the best for my children, especially my princess.  Maybe because she is a girl and the only princess at home, I would expect myself to be over-proctective and demanding.  Can't blame me right?  Who wouldn't?  But I don't think I would go to any extreme that make me go to jail (Point 9).  *wink*

Organic for him

My Jamie has very dry skin and I think it is eczema. Some parts of his skin are flaky and dry. Every day I will rub lotion all over his body and rose hip oil on the affected skin.

Eczema on his face?

 The skin problem is improving slightly and recently I change his shower foam and detergent. As he is 6 months plus now I am introducing some organic products to him.

Happy Times brand from US

Dry skin on his hand

Balm and teething for him

And since mummy also has some skin allergy I also bought an organic balm. A moisturising balm safe for baby too.

Our sick boys

We arrived in Kapit yesterday around 1pm. And we directly went to my MIL's canteen for lunch. We stayed till around 4pm before I went back with Big J and Jamie to ready and settle things down. Both Jan and Jay stayed back in canteen.

We had dinner in the canteen around 7, before we headed home. Jamie was doing fine on his first night in Kapit. Slept well throughout the night with 2 feedings. But Jay who sleeping with the sister and grandparents in other room was down with fever when he woke up around 2am vomitting. I gave him some panadol around 6am before he slept till 8. The fever has subdued that time but by noon he has very high fever and hardly take any solid food. Must be lack of fluid and rest yesterday and overplayed in canteen. So we brought him together with Jamie who has pleghm and cough for past few days.

After took 8 different medicines in the afternoon Jay was fine and started take food. As for Jamie, he had a ned in hospital and hopefully his pleghm will clear soon.

Hope everyone gets well soon for cny. Tomorrow is cny eve and we will have a simple dinner at home. My BIL and family are in Kuching while SIL stays in Sibu with her hubby. This year only my family spending holiday with my in-laws. I think my in-laws most happy to spend times with my children. :)

On them

A little update on our jewels

Jan

Not a honeymoon period for my Primary 2 going princess as many school works, test and dictations going on every week. And after CNY  the Primary 2 students going to be seperated and sorted according to academic results. Jan is going to the best class, 2H. Hope she keeps up the good result this year.

Jay

Entering K1 this year and he has gone to tuition with the sister. As usual dictation and spelling every week. Not only him stress, I am too. Even the tuition teacher commented on how tough the Chinese and English words to learn and tested.

Jamie

Current weight at 8.2kg. He has slight flu and cough. Got the virus from the other kids in babysitter. Hope he recovers soon after on medication. 

Another weekday

School has been for over a week and everything is back to busy mode.

My kids are busy with their schools respectively. Jan has her tests this week. Some sort of revision of her last year's learning. And she also has Science project on food. Jay also full with school works and next week he has his spelling and test as well. On weekend, he has few pages to write and copy.

Schools are really hard on kids now. Even the parents are stressed with all sort of activities, homeworks and assignments. I told my kids "Study hard, play hard". Hardly times for them to play on weekends. Some more I put Jay into tuition with Jan this week. Hopefully it helps him in his studies. At least I see some improvement in him. Neater and legible now.

Teary on first day

Nothing unusual I guess. My kids being more sentimental. Both Princess Jan and Jay has a teary eyes when sent them to schools.

Princess started her Primary 2. Her class is at the end of the school, the last block and it took us about a minute walk from the gate. And once she entered her class and saw her teacher, she started to be teary. Sigh.

Jay was even worse but I did not get to see him as Big J carried him to his K1 class which is in first floor. Big J said Jay holding tighter as they walked nearer to his school. Lol.

The first day at school blues. Hope they go away fast!

Reminiscing 2013

January - discovered that I were pregnant with no 3. Also our first year celebrating Cny in our new home.

April - me and my kids were baptised into House of God.

June - moved to Sibu on 30 June while Big J has been offered a transfer to Sibu branch

July - a tricky time as kids adjusting to new life, new school and new environment. Glad they adapted well with some helps from my SIL

August - double birthday celebration with Jay. First time in my life I celebrated my birthday outside Kuching.

September - Baby Jamie was born on 11/9

November - school holidays started and we had holiday back in Kuching

December - a week break in Kuching before schools open.

To a better 2014. Better health, better luck and fortune. Happy new year!

My new nephew

Just received news from my sil that she gave birth to her 2nd child, a baby boy in Kuching this afternoon. Pre-mature at 24 weeks!

She had some bleeding last night and went to check with doctor. Ended up doctor said her placenta is too low and there is some contractions. So without further delay the baby has to be induced. Weighing below 1 kg. Baby needs to be under observation for few months.

Pray for my nephew and hope he is in good health. My wishes go to my bil and his wife.

Awful bloody experience

It just did not went so well today.

Raining almost the whole morning and me and my 2 older kds at home after sent Jamie to nanny. We relaxed at home in front of the tv. And around 1pm we went to SCR for our lunch. After that we went home straight. Thought to take a catnap before going out to pick my MILfrom wharf but the kids did not want to nap. So I let them play in the living room. But barely 10 minutes I left them, Jan hurriedly told me that Jay was bleeding. Being a drama queen I never thought Jan was not exaggerating!!

But true, the bloody sight awaiting me!

First time I see so many blood. Oh dear, my boy was sitting quietly with his face down and blood all over. Only when I sat next to him, then he cried showing me his face. After all the wiping and pressing the wound area then I knew he has cut himself.

A big cut on the forehead! Immediately I sent him to ER for stitches. He still have the energy to fool around after a big cry out. However once his turn, the whole hospital is full of his cries. It broke my heart seeing him in pain but he was a strong kid because it took 4 people to hold him down while doctor stitched him 3 times. Sigh! Luckily no fever but am sure the wound part will be inflammed.

  After all the drama, he fell asleep in the car. The whole ordeal last almost 3 hours.

Hope the naughty boy learnt his lesson (never jump from chair) and listen to mum and dad.But from the look of thing, he has forgotten about it. Lol.
