Survival Guide To Separation Anxiety

In another 1.5 weeks .. we will be going thru’ some separation anxiety with the brat and I, yours truly. Yes, for those who are not aware of this .. my brat is a BIG gal now.. !! she is going to school… but not even 5 years old. She is going to real school.. not kindergarten or pre-school or nursery or day care. She will be in French Immersion .. and will be in Grade Primary. We sent her for the “ready, get set, go” program earlier this month..and she did wonderfully… but not without some separation from me and not her. Yes.. ! she was the brave one.

Advice from some blogging mummies that i picked up on .. was not to show that you were anxious nor worried.. and to let her go to school happily. So i put on a brave front.. and let her go happily to school. My mother in law had teased me about that.. before she left for school.. but we did pretty well. So if you have kids going to school this fall, this is my survival guide for just cross reference.

A few days before school start. .drive her to school.. . and tell her what is going to happen.. what time she will be waking up.. what time she will be going to school. .and so forth. Walk her thru’ the routine.. and of course tell her how much fun it is going to be.. and that you will be right outside waiting for her.. once school is over.. .and you will be there to pick her up.. ON TIME. More tomorrow.. eh.. 🙂

A happy trooper for sure!

What A Brat. !

We had wanted to go for a short vacation .. if not for my surgeries.. and i’m still recovering from it. PB had gotten a set of Titleist golf for Christmas.. and when we tried to explain to the brat .. that we won’t be going for a golf vacation as planned, she had an answer to comfort us. She said “it’s alright mum, papa can play golf here.. and it can be counted as a vacation too” muahahah!! afterall, we live behind a golf club.

I’m Diabetic

Yes..! i’m diabetic for those who don’t already know. But having diabetes is not the end of the world.. and it doesn’t mean that you have to turn down desserts either. there are healthy ways to satisfy that sweet tooth of yours. And there is no need to feel guilty every time you salivate over cakes, pies, parfaits and puddings. There is no absolute .. no-nos.. for people with diabetes. Desserts and special treats can fit into a healthy meal plan. Check out my health blog and my food blog for tips and recipes for what i do.

She Is My Daughter

Photobucket

If you are her mama .. you too would be proud and smiling everyday. Some mothers say stuff about their kids.. and how they punished their kids.. and how bad they are.. and how they drive them crazy at times. Sure it ain’t perfect all the time.. but I think I have it alot easier than most moms because i’ve got loads of help.. from PB .. and our babysitter. On top of everything.. the lil’ brat.. wouldn’t do the things you say no.. even to eating candies or chocolates. If you donch believe me.. you can email her babysitter.. Keegan.. and ask her. She was sick today.. and i offered her some popsicles.. and she said to me.. “my daddy said.. i can’t have anymore junk food”… a matter of factly way .. to me and keegan.She uses words like “awesome” .. and “cool”.. when she plays her webkinz and buy stuff with the money she worked for on the game. You tell me how not to be proud and smiling everyday lah.

Just Us

My first time wearing sandals this summer.. i thought it was a good idea.. to take a picture of my family and I together. Nice way to remind myself.. what we mean to each other.. and have some fun.. looking outta the box. I can never ask for a better family. We’ll always be there for each other.. and count our blessings. What about you..?? Are you as grateful as I am .. for having our family together..?

Needles Done!

Thank God..!! we are done with the 2 needles that Chloe needed before going to school. We want to think that we are that kinda modern parents… that let the kid know what to expect..and why we are doing certain things. In other words.. we like the “reasoning” part of bringing our kid up.

So 1.5 weeks before the needles.. we started painting the scenario to her.. and explaining to her.. why she had to have it.. and how many days more. Of course, she would bargain.. and she didn’t liked it.. but she didn’t kicked up a big fuss either… because we just didn’t pushed it.. we went with the flow.. and we tried to give her examples of other kids she knows that had it done.

The day arrived.. and yes.. she did puked after the needles .. and there was some crying.. but i really think she did very well. The crying didn’t last for more than a min and another minute of puking.. and she was calmed down.. and she played with the toys.. and all. More info on the needles on my health blog and why i chose the public nurse over the family doctor.. and Chloe’s version of her experience on her own blog.

OMG!!! What Are You Eating .. Chloe..!!!!

For those who knows our brat .. Chloe.. you would know that we have a hard time feeding her any food .. or any new food. She eats noodles, rice and tofu .. and lots of corn.. and that’s it. She refuses to eat any kind meat.. but would eat luncheon meat. She would eat fish.. but not baked fish.

When we go up the city.. it is very hard to get her to eat anything. She would eat fries .. and nothing else. Very worried.. we packed things for her to eat .. when we are on the road. But on Saturday .. last week.. she ate something.. that we had been trying to get her to eat.. to make it easier for us.. when we are on trips. Wanna check it out..?? Click here.

To Say Or Not To Say..?

When Chloe was in “trial” school .. last week.. we got to meet up with other parents as well. Most of the parents there were all so well dressed up.. and had tons of make up on.. and one in particular. .i noticed.. had blemishes on her face .. and heavily covered it. I really feel bad and wonder if i should recommend her with the acne treatment , I had used in the past. But having dealt with the public because of PB’s business.. i also learned to keep my mouth shut.. for fear.. that it would be taken wrongly. Remember.. a house mate of PB saying once that we couldn’t keep the ex-employees for long.. was because “i talked too much” .. to my FIL ..?? yup..!! she said that .. and i still remembered it till today.
