Don’t Worry Mom

As much as I would love to bathe Chloe .. it does take a little bit of toll on my tummy even after 5 months of recovery since my operation. But now that I feel better and when Keegan or PB isn’t around I will bathe her. But before I can bathe her.. i have to scrub the bath-tub thoroughly… and that itself can be really painful.. since a lot of bending over is necessary.

Today, after our little game of recognising the alphabets .. and getting ready to bathe, Chloe said to me.. ” Don’t worry mom, I will scrub the tub for you. So you don’t have to bend over so much!” a matter of factly way.

As you can see she was pretty earnest about it too. Sprayed the organic stuff .. into the bath-tub and started scrubbing and all. Ain’t she a lovely kid..?? Yes..!! what a very sensitive and sensible kid. Oh by the way, if you want to learn French .. you should head over to Chloe’s blog.

Gem Of Life Episode 18

Gem Of Life Episode 18 is up for watching and downloading on my entertainment blog. Have fun..!! i am. Chloe has gone to school albeit the fact that she was still having her running nose. I was torn in between sending her to school and letting her stay home. But i donch want her to use small excuses .. and let her get away with stuff.. when it isn’t necessary. But we were late today for school by 2 mins.

I Am Maggie

Too much Simpsons i think..!! the brat thinks that she is Maggie from Simpsons. Her imagination can run really wild at times.. but she can be really funny .. donch you think.

Yes.. she was sucking on a lollipop .. and she loved it wor..!! can die or not..! no wonder no voice today. Usually, she never finished it .. but that day .. she did finish the whole thing.

Tattoos & Kids

Would you let your kids have a tattoo.. ?? that’s the main question of my post. What is your take on this subject.. ?? as for myself.. as modern as I am.. i don’t think i would like the idea of my kid having a tattoo. Yes.. no harm done.. but what is the purpose of a tattoo anyways..? to beautify oneself..?? by destroying your body with foreign ink.. and chemicals..?? I have nothing against .. adults having tattoos put onto their body. .mind you .. afterall.. they are old enough to think for themselves ( or so you wanna think ) but some adults are much, much more childish about than the kids around here.

But yes.. if your 18 yrs old wanted a tattoo.. what is your answer or response..?? shocked..?? amused..?? or utterly disappointed.. or confused..?? or you are cool with it..?? Me .. i never liked pain.. so i cannot understand.. why someone would go hurt themselves with some ugly and permanent stuff. As for me.. when Chloe is 18 and wants a tattoo.. i will definitely try to dissuade her.. and suggest a removable one..?? She might agree.. and she might not.. but i’m gonna darn try real hard.. to not let her… without getting into a fight with her. As for Katelynn.. our babysitter.. the first one.. i was cool with it.. the second one. . i wasn’t too pleased.. but she ain’t my kid.. so i can’t smack her over the head… muahahhahahaha!!!

Remembrance Day

Today is Remembrance Day .. it is not a National Holiday in Canada .. although i cannot think of a better day to declare one. Remembrance Day didn’t mean a lot to me.. till Chloe went to school, afterall, the future generation should get to know of all the Canadian soldier who was stationed away from home and died to protect Canada. And what about those who are currently still in Iraq or Afghan, don’t they need to be remembered too..?? I am sure their family here in Canada is missing them. So for those who are in Canada.. do remember to tell your children.. what Remembrance Day means.

And to my Chloe.. Remembrance Day means.. “to remember the soldiers.. and those who died for us.” And that’s good enough for me.. from a 4.9 months old.

Playground

We had to send Chloe’s lunch to school at 10.30am on Friday.. because we didn’t have it cooked the nite before. We had forgotten to cook the rice .. and fridge it .. so had to wait another nite. The school is really good in this way.. whereby .. we can send food or anything she had forgotten even when her school bell rings.. and you can only go in thru’ the office entrance, all the other entrances are locked. Loved the playground.. but this side .. Chloe rarely use .. hopefully when she change classes next year, she will use this one instead. They have many nice playground toys.. this year, about $8,000 worth of new toys for the playground.

But the swings could use some painting eh.

Plus .. i don’t want to appear to be the over-protective mummy right..?? else .. i will get another name soon.

When Your Baby Is Sick 101

Nah..! this was not taken today.. it was taken on last Sunday. But yes.. my princess baby is sick.. she has got the sniffles.. and cold. We kept her at home today .. so that she doesn’t pass any germs to her friends.. in school. But like all mothers in the world.. i’m sure it’s not an easy feeling .. when the baby is sick.

I feel absolutely guilty.. when she is ill.. and trying to cope.. and being very good nature even though she was sniffing bad.. and not eating much. We brought her to the store.. and she was either watching tv.. or playing with the customer’s kid.. although she made sure she didn’t play with the not sick ones. Those that came and play were sick already.

We had asked her if she wanted to go to school on Tuesday nite.. and she said yes.. because she loves school. On Wednesday nite.. she said.. “we’ll see.. if i feel better.. I’ll go to school.. if i don’t feel better .. i’ll stay home” .. a matter of factly way. She slept early tonite.. even before Daddy came home… at 8.15pm. But it’s really hard to see her sick like that. Don’t want to eat.. and donch wanna drink.. *sigh*. How can not be sakit hati right..?? look lah.. how cutie pie she is.

Chloe My Sensible Kid

Chloe’s school friend is also a customer at our store.. and they come often to rent games for her brother. As usual.. chloe would wanna play catch with her friend. On last Friday, when her school friend was in, she was holding a bag of chips .. and since they wanted to run around the store… Chloe had suggested that her friend.. hand over the bag of chips .. to her mummy. But the friend politely declined.. and went on running around the store… but of course, as you all can imagine, the chips did fall down (and her mother offered to pick/clean up). And guess what Chloe said to her friend.. ??? ” my mummy can’t bend down you know..! she had an operation. ” a matter of factly way. Muahahahah!!! it was only when we said to Chloe that it was alright.. because Papa will clean it up.. that she let go of the subject.. and continued running around. How blessed am I.. you tell me lah..!!
