A Little Change

Little Lady is making quite a progress. She has not suck her fingers for the past 2 nights. Sadly I can't say the same for her afternoon naps...yet.

At the same time, Daddy Yeoh and I have been trying to cut down her TV time. For the past few nights, we have refused to turn on the TV for her. Instead, we spend time playing jigsaw, drawing on her Doodle or read a book to her. It is not only an adjustment for her but for me as well.

I confess that I tend to let her sit infront of the TV a little too often, especially on the weekdays, so that I could get things done around the house or just park myself on the lazy chair to have a-no-brainer-moment after a long day at work. Entertaining a kid is hard work! Atleast for me it is :)

This is a list of things that I failed to do...
  1. Read to her every night...
  2. Pray with her every night...
  3. Talk to her as often as possible...
  4. Sing with her all the time...
  5. Dance with her all the time...
  6. And every other thing that a mother should be doing for her kid age 0-3 years.

Yup! I am guilty of all the above cause I am just darn tired when I get back from work. Sigh! That's my motherhood :) BUT I am making a little effort now to change...not so that I can have a genius kid...but just for me and my Little Lady to bond and to make up for those times I am away at work.

Every little effort is counted.

Every moment you spend cuddling her, talking to her, even when disciplining her counts.

She will know it and appreciate it when she is older.

Just love her and enjoy her.

p/s- count the TV weekends as her treat and yours too.

My dad-in-law passed away on September 1, 2007 to begin an eternal life with our Lord. He was a man with few words, gentle in his ways and had a generous heart to all. He had led a hard life but he was blessed with a loving and faithful wife and three wonderful sons. He had fought a long hard battle of cancer for years. And throughout his life, he kept his heart closed against the Lord. Due to persistent prayers of those who love him and the brotherly love of Sitiawan Methodist Church members, my dad-in-law accepted the Lord Jesus as his personal Saviour, follow thereafter by my mum-in-law. They were both baptized last month. His sickness took a bad turn last week and the sons were called to return home to see him for the last time. There were a few times that they thought my dad-in-law was not going to make it but he managed to pull through. It came to a point, my brother-in-law prayed for a confirmation from God the time which my dad-in-law will be called home. The day before my dad-

A Sick Baby Updates

My Little Lady last had fever on Thursday morning. We fed her a dosage of paracertamol at 6.30 a.m. and her fever never came back since then. Her swelling reduced tremendously and there were no rashes on her body. The doctor has informed us that it will take a few days with 2 days of high fever and thereafter the fever will go up and down for another few more days. We praise God for His healing and that my Little Lady was healed within less than 2 days. Her fever started on Tuesday night and Wednesday was the crazy day and by Thursday early morning it was all gone. As I write this I am reminded of this verse;- " I waited patiently for the Lord, he turned to me and heard my cry ." Psalm 40 And thank you all who has kept us in your prayers :) We appreciate it very much. Got to run for now. Since Daddy Yeoh and Little Lady have both recovered, I will be making American breakfast for them...Smoked English Breakfast Sausages (homemade by my brother in law) yummy!
