Her written wishes

Saw this on the top of the Bible this morning.  Written by Princess last night before she was off to bed.  What a thoughtful girl! 

 

 

 

 

Today is her last day of exam.  I am sure this afternoon when she is back from school, she will requested to watch her favourite cartoon DVD.  Time for her to relax and destress. 

 

Got her BM exam paper back yesterday and I was surprised when she told me she got 100% mark.  Did not expect her to get full marks although I know she will pass her BM as she is pretty good with the subject.  Proud of her! 

Diapers at night

My boy is still on diapers at night because he is a deep sleeper who having a hard time holding his pees.  We did try to toilet trained him for about 2 months but we gave up eventually.  Because I cannot stand cleaning the bed and tired of scolding Baby Jay for wetting the bed. 

 

It is hard to drag him from the bed to the toilet and once a while he will throw tantrums in middle of the night.  And not only need to wake him up once but twice.  On one week, he wetted the bed twice every night till my hubby complained of smelly bed.  We gave him and made him wear diapers in the end.

 

Sometimes he is on diapers when he takes his afternoon naps.  It is much easier to wake him up during the naps because he sleeps only 2 hours and sometimes he is completely dry. 

 

We could not wait for him to diaper free and able to go to toilet by himself someday.  Maybe with some motivation, he would stay dry. 

 

How come it is so hard to train a boy than a girl?  I have no problem with my Princess. She just wet the bed a couple of times and eventually she stopped and stay free through out the night.  She has not been using any diapers at night since she was around 2 years old.  Now she can sleep till the next day without any problems. 

 

 

My Mother's Day at home

Woke up feeling sick because down with flu and sore throat yesterday morning.  The whole family is sick, with Big J down with flu on Friday while Princess is still recovering from cough and flu.  I heard Baby Jay was coughing this morning so gave him a dose of cough syrup before he gone to kindergarden.  I myself went to see doctor this morning and doctor prescribed cough syrup and flu tablets.  Have not taken the medicine yet because they will make me sleepy so better take them after lunch and off to bed later!  *wink*

As of Mother's Day celebration yesterday, we did not go anywhere special since everyone is not 100% well and Princess is having her exam starting today.  Yesterday morning, my Princess gave me this cute self-drawn card.  Very adorable.  She really know how to make my day!

And for the first time in my life, I cooked dinner for Mother's Day!  In the past, either Big J brought me for dinner or had dinner together with my parents, but this year, for the first time I cooked for Mother's Day!  I thought I am supposed to be off and not doing any cooking on this special day but since I never did any for any Mother's Day before, it was fine with me!  Lol! 

And Big J requested for Spaghetti dinner so Spaghetti shall it be!

Spaghetti with beef bolognaise sauce, baked cheesy potatoes and onion and fried rice for kids

My Mother's Day dinner. 

Down with virus!

My Princess Jan is down with flu and cough yesterday.  Must be too much fried food and hot weather lately.  Poor girl.  She needs to rest and same time studying for her coming exam which is next week.  Hope she will recover in time for the exam.

 

I am also having a sore throat since yesterday.  Sigh!  Looks like the virus is spreading around.  Just this morning I heard my Baby Jay coughing slightly.  He usually would cough in the morning because of the dry throat due to air-con during the night, but I am concern because the virus may be spread from the sister to Baby Jay. Need to boost up some Vitamin C for everyone in the house!

Break the baby news

I told both kids on the baby's gender this evening, and both has a mixed reaction. 

 

When I told both that I am pregnant early this year, both were excited.  Princess wants a sister, while Baby Jay wants a baby brother.  So both want someone to share and play with.  When I told them that they are going to have a baby brother soon, my Princess was not so happy about it at first.  It means that there would not be anyone to share her bedroom because she always wanted someone to sleep together with her.  Even she has slept in her own room now, once a while she still wanted me to accompany her in her room or sneaking onto our bed. 

 

As for the younger one, Baby Jay does not mind it is a baby brother.  He is still young and probably does not know much.  But I am worry that Baby Jay will be clingy to me when the baby is born.  Just hope he will get used to someone sharing his things and love the baby.  I have no worry on Princess being close to baby because she always love babies.  She likes touching, playing and talking to babies because I have seen her doing that in baby sitter's house. 

Now it is time to look for a name for my baby boy.  Must start with letter "J" too.  Hmm......

Exam week!!

School exam is starting next week for my Princess, so no more honeymooning time for her.  I have get her to start doing revision on English and Mathematics since both are her strong subjects in school.  I told my Princess that my tip when I were studying for my exams when I were a student is to study your strong subjects first, then slowly go to the difficult one so you can spend more times on those difficult subjects.  And you would not forget those difficult subjects easily too when the exam is getting nearer.  I don't know about you, but those are my tips.  And they worked for me.  *wink*

 

Today she will start with her Bahasa Malaysia subject revision.  So far I have been guiding her on English and Mathematics and get her to do more tests. And I will guide her with the BM subject since I can read BM.  But the next 3 subjects, Science, Moral and Chinese, would be up to her.  I cannot help her in those 3 subjects.  Luckily this month I send her to Chinese tuition on Saturday so at least she can do some revision during the tuition class.

 

I am more anxious than my Princess.  She is still so relax and does not bother very much on the revision.  Now she is in primary school, no longer kindergarden.  The exams in kindegarden are very easy and she has no problem in passing them but now the primary school subjects are very difficult. Looking through her textbooks, I feel the Primary One sllyabuses are tougher than those during my school day!
