因为有你们。。。

因为有你们，我的生活更多姿多彩

因为有你们，我的烦恼都抛在脑后

因为有你们，我觉得一切都是值得

因为有你们，我会学如何去容忍

因为有你们，我会学如何去包容

因为有你们，我会学如何变得更坚强

只要每天听到你们叫我一声“妈妈”

听到你们的哭声，笑声…..其他的事都变得妙小

既使遇到不如意的事，都会试着去忘掉，

哭一哭然后把眼泪抹干，希望明天的天会更蓝，草会更绿。。。

Self Introduction

After one week of holiday in Kuantan & KL, our 27 months old ds has shown great improvement in his self-introduction.

Me: 你叫什么名？

YS: 林焱上

Me: 今年几岁？

YS: 两岁

Me: 林焱上！

YS: 到！

Before this trip, I tried to teach him how to self-intro but ds seemed to be unwilling to answer my questions properly. Now he’s able to answer us correctly, all thanks to my 阿姨 & her family for being so patient to our ds when he was staying over at their house during the holiday trip.

Reading habit!

Past few nights, I had the opportunity to spend time alone with my son because my mum was busy entertaining my younger cousin sister. Normally after my baby daughter slept, I would spend a bit of time playing with my son and we’ll relaxed on the sofa watching the TV programme together. These few days, I decided to sacrifice the TV session, and went to his room to have a one-to-one session with him by playing Legos, toys and even read stories to him. Initially he seemed uninterested and I almost gave up. But accidentally found out that he actually preferred to read out the words with me. Guess I had found a new method for me to cultivate his reading habit & more bonding session from now on…:)

Stressed out!

Last few days was a bit of a drama at home because my maid did something ridiculous which caused me to flare up with her. Till this day, I still can’t help myself but to think of what would have happen to my children if my mum never saw it on that fateful day!

I had reasons to be angry because I gave her instructions on how to clean and wash the children’s stuff before. Either she was trying to be a smart alec or she wasn’t listening at all. Sigh! When it concerns the children’s safety and health, I tend to be more careful and unable to close one eye for convenience sake. I did not care if people thought I’m too particular with the hygiene because I knew in my heart I’m doing the right thing. If anything happens to my children, who is going to be liable? Me or her?

Ages ago, I allocated a seperate sponge for the maid to clean the children’s plastic bathtub and told her to use the adult’s bath cleanser to clean everyday. My mum happened to see the maid used the toilet sponge & toilet cleanser to clean the bathtub. Why she did not understand the bacteria in the toilet sponge & harsh chemical will harm my children’s skin? Why was she taking my instructions so lightly? Why was she so irresponsible? So many question marks were appearing in my brain at that moment! And how long had she been cleaning the bathtub this way?

Hubby always tell me to learn to let go and let the maid handles all the stuff, but I had my reason for not doing so. Is it my gut feeling? I really don’t know! But after this incident, I had lesser trust in her and am going to monitor her every movement (especially when it concerned my children) no matter how tiring I am after a long day of work.

No Favouritism

When we have our 1st kid, we can shower all our love & attention on him every minute of the day. But ever since we have No. 2, I’m always trying to show equal love & care to both of them. However, some people misinterpret that I’m showing favouritism because I’m stricter to No. 1. The fact is our No. 1 is in a terrible two stage now, his temper and unreasonable request is getting out of control at times. I need to do what I believe is best for him and discipline him the right way. Of course, at times when I can’t control myself I will spank him a few times to stop all the nonsense.

No. 2 is still young and unaware what is happening around her so I tend to protect her more, but that doesn’t mean that my love for No. 1 is lesser. Both of them are my flesh & blood and my heart aches when anyone of them hurt themselves. I hope our boy will understand that his mummy did all these is for his own good and not because her love for him has lessen in any way…..

P/S: Dear children, I hope both of you will grow up & understand that mummy is not siding with anyone, but I’m just doing what is right for both of you.  Mummy hope to be able to communicate freely & to be your best friend forever!

乖乖！

YS: Mummy, 乖乖 (pointing to the thing he wanted)

Me: Okay! 乖乖，你要乖乖，要听话。那个不可以动。

YS: 我乖乖，乖乖 (still very persistent & started crying)

Our boy is getting smarter nowadays, he knows that he will be rewarded or get the thing he desire when he’s well behave. I always tell him to be well behave so that I will buy this for him, give him that! So maybe he misinterpret the meaning of 乖乖, sigh! Certain thing that is too dangerous for him is still a “no-no” from me.

*Sorry my son, I guess certain things in life you still have to wait till you’re sensible enough to handle! It’s not mummy wants to restrict your needs / wants, but when the time is right, I will give it to you without you asking.
