Not to be left alone


I can't let BabyD out of my sight. He'll be up to some mischief if he's left alone for even a few minutes. He opens drawers and pulls out all my clothes, scavenges through the trash can wtf, climbs onto tables and chairs, laundry baskets, drawers, puts EVERYTHING into his mouth. Not easy i tell ya. I find myself watching him like a hawk but don't all parents? haha


 
Caught climbing in the drawer. Gave me muka kesian.
 
 
But can switch expression in a nano second.
 
And lesson learned, never leave an almost empty milo box or yakult in the trash can (clean one ok) .
 
 
 
 
 
 
So engrossed is he sucking and squeezing the life out of what's left over from the empty containers that he did not notice me clicking my camera in glee.  And probably never noticed the milo spraying all over him AND the floor. Peanut took one look at him, gave a shrieking laugh and called him an ah neh neh.
 
 


Numbers

Our extended family shares a lot of similar numbers.

For example, both MIL and me shares the same birthday.

Peanut, my sister and my mum are born in the month of March.

My FIL's death anniversary and my Mum's birthday falls on the same date.

My sister, my dad, DH's brother & sister are all born on the 14th.

My brother and DH are in born the month of December.

DH and his late father are born on the 15th.

BabyD shares the same birthday month as his uncle and his wife.

BabyD and my brother are born on the 10th.



Lots of common numbers. Boleh beli nombor hor.

Yikes..

I have set the wheels in motion and it's now turning.. a bit faster than I thought.

 I'm VERY nervous about it as I'm not prepared at all *shaky smile* . Let's see how it goes. But it'll be great to see them again after so long.

Helicopter mum

The other day, we brought Peanut & BabyD to Kizsports as Peanut has been begging for me to bring her. After days and days of relentless nagging from her, we raised the white flag and brought her.

You know what, i realised i'm a helicopter parent. Yes, there's a term for this kind of parent. Parents who are always hovering above the kids watching their every move!! As she went through the tunnels, and slides, and into the ball pits, i had a hard time catching up with her. When she disappeared into the tunnels (which are not see through in most parts), my heart always stopped for a few seconds as I tried to locate her. Scared she disappear mah wtf. She's always chasing me away, telling me that she'll always find a way out of there. Yalar i know, i know, but still!!!  Other parents are relaxing elsewhere, chatting and looking at their ipads etc while i'm the crazy mom following her child's every move, not letting her out of my sight just in case.

She made a few girl friends who are around 5 to 6 years there, which is pretty funny to see. Funny because while these girls kept talking to her,  she never spoke any words at all and instead use hand gestures and head nodding to get her messages across. What lah. So bising at home, but quiet like a rabbit when out in public. The girls  kept bringing her around, asknig her to go here and there, and Peanut obligingly scampers after them.


She also met a boy around her age, who kept following her around. When we said it's time to go home, the boy kept persuading her to stay "don't go lah, stay here. please, don't go home first, play here please please", while Peanut kept smiling shyly and looking at us to see what she should do. Walao..flirting and kena kao by a boy at such a young age. Donno what's gonna happened in a 12 years time. Or earlier wtf. I dread to imagine. When i told the boy we are going and we should say bye bye, he gave me a pissed off look and ran to his parents. HMPF!!


Told Peanut we'll bring her there once a month only. Need to set limits, it's stressful bringing her there!

Pet peeve: Public Toilets

Know what I hate the most now that Peanut no longer needs the diaper during the day?? Bringing her to public toilets!!!!


Most of the public toilets in KL (i said most cos there's still some clean ones) are always wet and dirty! If i'm alone, I will probably grit my teeth while using the toilets but when you are bringing a toddler whose hands are everywhere, touching everything, it's really really gross.

I always make it a point to ensure Peanut empties her bladder when we stepped out of the house, or if we happened to be in a place where I know the toilets are super clean, i will make sure she pees it all out before we move on to the next destination.


Yesterday, we were at the mall and she went to the toilet 3 freaking times in a span of 2 hours (she loves to drink water, and i can't stop her from drinking..) and each time is a horrible experience. It's a very new mall but the soap dispeners are mostly not working, there are PUDDLES of water on the floor and the worst: toilet seats are wet. Wet toilet seats are the worst thing ever because I always lay tissue paper on the seats before Peanut sits on it, so if it's wet, there's no freaking way I'm gonna wipe the toilet seats dry first. I will just give up and look for alternative toilets but it's hard because almost all of it are always wet. yucks!

If I'm the architect of shopping malls, I will build toilets where there are are some toilets with bidets, and some without!! A girl can dream right? haha

Enfagrow or Anmum

Have you ever smell your baby's bottle after they are done with their milk?? I  always sniff BabyD's bottle after he's done.  Perhaps  out of habit haha

Anyway, i noticed that there's a vast difference of smell with Enfagrow's range of milk and Anmum's. I recently switched milk for BabyD. He's been drinking Enfalac, then to Enfapro all this while but because of Anmum's claims of lesser sugar in their milk, I then decided to switch it to Anmum for him as well. Peanut has long ago switched to Anmum.

Frankly..Enfagrow's milk smells really weird..it doesn't smell "milky" at all. I don't know how to describe the smell but it just smells funky. To the point i feel nauseous. And it's worse if you leave the bottle out for at least an hour after they're done with it. Anmum, on the other hand,  smells like milk. Like how they're supposed to smell like. And even after one hour, it still smells okay. Why is it like that huh?

I'm not advertising for Anmum hoh, and neither am I saying Enfagrow's milk is not good. Both Peanut and BabyD drank Enfalace and Enfapro in their first years and it served them well. :) I just find the  difference in smell strange.
