Compliment

MOTH : “I used to have doubt, but now I’m confident”

( I suppose he meant my parenting style, cooking, being a SAHM. I’m such a “Big Head Prawn”, hence my blog title)

Whatever it is …I take it as a compliment lah…..HAHAHA!! (just a simple remark, makes up my day!!)

Once Upon A Time…..

Once upon a time….

This is how my fully breastfed baby look at 2 months old

And now…

 He shrunk horizontally but lenghthen vertically.

Once upon a time……

This was how my formula fed girl looks like at 6th month old. Notice the “rings” on her thigh.

And now…

Still with a very rounded face, filled with Cow’s fat. She can drinks up to at least 36Oz of milk a day.

I know breastmilk is GOLD, but looking at the size, sometimes I can’t help to worry and compare. BUT…..

My girl is more prone to allergy…she always falls ill because of cough due to allergy reaction. (See….formula fed lah!!)Each time she’s caught a cough, every feed of milk will tend to produce more phelgm hence the vomitting. My boy less prone to allergy and recover faster and suffer less when he’s caught with a cough and no vomitting from the effect of milk…….so SIZE does not matter…HEALTH DOES!!

WH @21Months

WH turned 21 months about more than a week ago.

Speech development : Catching up. His favourite word being “Mahmeeee” “Nen nen” , almost the whole day through I can only hear these 2 words from him. He somehow skipped calling me “Mama” though he knows how but very relunctant to call me. Before he knew how to call Mummy, everytime he cries, he would go “kakak, kakak” , now it’s “mummy mummy” the whole day. He has also changed calling hubby “Papa” now he calls him “Dehhh….Dee”

Favourite passtime: Glueing to mummy. Again, almost the whole day through he’s latching on in various positions/stunts (standing, sitting on a odd position)helping himself with “nen nen”. Even during meal time, half way through, he realize he misses nen nen and he will straight away abandon his food and come “kepiting” all over me. At 21months, I still have leaky boobies when nursing him. (argghh…)

Characteristic: One very stubborn and persistence and strong willed boy. When he made up his mind for something, there’s is no way I can coach/bribe him to do otherwise. I end up loosing all the time giving in to him. At the same time he’s also having milder manner than JS. He loves his sister and do not usually snatch JS’s thing unless JS disturb him first. He’s quite alright to just sit beside us when I’m busy attending to JS.

Attachement: He’s certainly getting more attached to me now. Before that he’s quite alright to have the maid attend to him (Ie feeding, changing and bathing) while I focus more on JS. But now WH insist on me attending to him and he will cry and wail when the maid attempt to feed him. He stop crying immediately upon seeing me taking over. He’s quite good at playing by himself providing that I’m in his sight. Once out of his sight, he will come walking around the house searching for me cyring “Mee mee, mee mee” . The first place to look for me is at the computer desk, else he would go bang at the toilet door, the last place he goes is the kitchen.

“Geh Siao” : Each night I will make a bottle of milk for each of them before going to the room, but lately, most of the time WH doesn’t want his formula. So I have decided not to make milk for WH unless he requested one.

But upon seeing just one bottle of milk, WH would cry and go to the kitchen, search for his bottle and say “MUK MUK, MUK MUK”,

ME:”No, mummy give nen nen”

(WH shaking head, indicating don’t want, crying still and say “MUK MUK”)                                                                 

ME: You must drink finish your milk, oK?

WH: *nodding*                                                       

Made a little for him, he will take a little sip and chuck the bottle aside and start climbing all over me crying “nen nen, nen nen”.

Usually JS will ask for WH’s milk after she finishes her. Again, my little “geh siao” boy will protest. He will quickly unlatch from me, look for his bottle and refuse to let the sister drink his. Other time, he just happy to take a sip from his bottle and offer the rest to his sister.

Song For The Kids

Some songs I recall that I would like to teach my kids…

萤火虫 

萤火虫 萤火虫 慢慢飞
夏夜里 夏夜里 风轻吹
怕黑的孩子安心睡吧
让萤火虫给你一点光
燃烧小小的身影
在夜晚为夜路的旅人照亮方向
短暂的生命努力地发光
让黑暗的世界充满希望
萤火虫 萤火虫 慢慢飞
我的心 我的心 还在追
城市的灯光明灭闪耀
还有谁会记得你燃烧光亮

红蜻蜓 

飞呀 飞呀
看那红色蜻蜓飞在蓝色天空
游戏在风中不断追逐他的梦
天空是永恒的家 大地就是他的王国
飞翔是生活
我们的童年也像追逐成长吹来的风
轻轻地吹着梦想 慢慢地升空
红色的蜻蜓是我小时侯的小小英雄
多希望有一天能和他一起飞
当烦恼愈来愈多 玻璃弹珠愈来愈少
我知道我已慢慢地长大了
红色的蜻蜓曾几何时
也在我岁月慢慢不见了
我们都已经长大 好多梦正在飞
就像童年看到地红色的蜻蜓
我们都已经长大 好多梦还要飞
就像现在心目中红色的蜻蜓
(music)

童年
池塘边的榕树上
知了在声声地叫着夏天
操场边的秋千上
只有蝴蝶儿停在上面
黑板上老师的粉笔
还在拼命唧唧喳喳写个不停
等待着下课
等待着放学
等待游戏的童年
福利社里面什么都有
就是口袋里没有半毛钱
诸葛四郎和魔鬼党
到底谁抢到那支宝剑
隔壁班的那个男孩
怎么还没经过我的窗前
嘴里的零食
手里的漫画
心里初恋的童年
总是要等到睡觉前
才知道功课只做了一点点
总是要等到考试以后
才知道该念的书还没有念
一寸光阴一寸金
老师说过寸金难买寸光阴
一天又一天 一年又一年
迷迷糊糊的童年
没有人知道为什么
太阳总下到山的那一边
没有人能够告诉我
山里面有没有住着神仙
多少的日子里总是
一个人面对着天空发呆
就这么好奇
就这么幻想
这么孤单的童年
阳光下蜻蜓飞过来
一片片绿油油的稻田
水彩蜡笔和万花筒
画不出一边那一条彩虹
什么时候才能象高年级的同学
有张成熟与长大的脸
盼望着假期盼望着明天
盼望着长大的童年
一天又一天 一年又一年
盼望长大的童年
