I am amazed at mothers with many children

My little girl has reached the stage where she know what she likes and dislikes.  She was such a good eater and then suddenly, she rejected all the food.  I tried to incorporate some meat and protein into her diet, but I ended up eating it.  

Last weekend, I was cracking my head trying to find out what to cook for her.  I wanted to make her simple meals.  What's more disappointing is my mom accused me of not feeding her enough and therefore no poo poo for 2 days.  Sigh.

Anyway, the whole time I was researching on Google what meal to cook for her, I have neglected her.  In my quest to give her the best food, I forgo her company.  The whole weekend, I didn't play with her.  I didn't read to her.  I didn't teach her.  In fact, I didn't do anything with her.  

And I did made something for her and in the end she didn't eat a single piece.  Sigh.

And I was so exhausted, trying to cook, looking after her, nap with her, etc.  I really don't know how mothers with so many children cope.  

In fact, I have so many plans and so many things that I want to do with her when I am not at work.  I wanted to teach her about God.  I wanted to play with her.  Maybe a bit of flash cards.  Maybe even do some colouring.  OMG!  I had all the plans.  But ended up spending all the time trying to see what food to make for her.

I wanted to make a Quiet Book for her and that is not successful because she is so good with her fingers that I am not worried about her opening cupboards or zipper.  Now I want to teach her about shapes and colours.  She know few animals pretty well.  She knows how to talk a little.  Like Yes, No, Hello, Bye, Papa, Popo, Koko.  Still having trouble saying Mama, ended up either with Mi Mi Mi Mi or Papa.  

I did made her a magnet fishing game but that doesn't really teach her much.  

Past few days, she has been latching non-stop.  Not sure why.  I was thinking of weaning but still want to make my target of 2 years.  Getting a little tired of pumping.

And this is just 1 kid.  I feel she is growing up so fast.  Every single day she is learning a new thing.  And I don't want her to be left out.  Probably because I am kiasu.  I want to spend more time with her but same time I am so dead tired.  Amazing how mothers do this.

Review: Grand Lexis vs Lexis Hibiscus at Port Dickson

I have been to both and can honestly tell you that I much preferred Lexis Hibiscus to Grand Lexis.  And here's why. Lexis Hibiscus Pros: 1. Very near to the highway. 2. Located near the beach (although very small area). 3. Food stalls located within walking distance to the hotel. 4. Better services from the staff. 5. Bigger pathway for walkers and cyclist (for those who like to do some walking and cycling). 6. Better view of the sea. 7. Swimming pool is located outside the chalet with sea view (depends where the chalet is facing). 8. Sauna is provided in the chalet. 9. Wide spread of breakfast buffet. Cons: 1. A bit more pricey. 2. Public pool is boring. 3. No kitchenette. 4. If it rains, the sound on the roof is very loud because of the material of the roof (sounds like zinc roof). 5. Toilet door is without lock.   Grand Lexis Pros: 1. Nice public pool with slides for the kids. 2. Big swimming pool inside each room. 3. Wide spread

The Big Kindy Search Continues

Since my last The Big Kindy Search post , I have been looking around for kindies and been visiting some.  Here's my feel about them all. 1) Tadika Diyana Read good reviews about this and decided to check them out, though out of our way and far from home.  I love how the price is quite ok but still a bit on the high side (you can check it out at their website). I visited the premise and I really love how it is run like a mini primary school.  It's huge, with its own hall, field and canteen, although downsize version and it's just like a school.  Not like a bungalow with rooms as classroom.   However, I have decided not to send my girl because they will be moving to Sungai Penchala (further up from TTDI, near to the Penchala Link), which will be much further from our home.  Though they do have transporters, but I feel very wary about sending my 4 year old (next year) to a transporter. What I like about Tadika Diyana is they have 2 medium, English and Chines

PPUM Pediatrics Emergency Department

Being a mom proves to be the hardest job in the world.  Accidents do happen but when they actually happened, most people will panic and unsure what to do.  And when it involves kids, and being the mother of the only child, with no prior emergency experience, this is a traumatizing and frightening episode and a lesson for me to learn. My 3.5 years old girl was being very curious and naughty that fateful day.  She stood on the chair and play with my massage oil and containers and broke one of the small glass cups and when she panicked she came down from the chair and stepped on the broken glass. She was bleeding a lot and crying.  Since this happened at about 10.30pm, my first response was to drive her to a 24-hour clinic.  So, we went to the 24-hour Mediviron clinic but was turned away by the nurses, stating that her case is very serious and need to be referred to a hospital instead. My mind at that time was running at full speed.  I wasn't sure which hospital to go as
