wats up??

My ntu roomie commented tat it's time for me to update my blog. Haha...ok. i am seriously behind time and a super ultra delayed blogger. ANd with little kielli with little attention span, blogging and facebook time gotta be FAST, Short, efficient.

Alright, the little gal is happily in her pram, entertained with her little butterfly and brighty mr sun. So b4 she squeals for attention, i shall attempt to finish/ summarise tis entry in 5 mins while having my porridge lunchy at the same time.

Many frens been asking how motherhood is for me. 2 words to describe: joyfully tiring!! haha..Tiring with little sleep n focccussed attention on her. Yet, so joyful whenever i see her. It's a warm feeling juz carrying her in my arms, feeding her , playing with her, reading to her, singing to her. And despite the minimal sleep i have, oH NOOO...i am convinced that i wanna ONE more kid!! haha...:) i can't resist the temptation to have one more little plaything who squeals at u when u play with her, flips and rolls over ur bed , plays with ur necklance when u feed her and glares at u when u talk to her as though u r her entire world!!

SImply too fun. Serious. MAny tink of motherhood as tiring. Indeed it is. But i seek more to enjoy the process of parenting and see it as FUN rather than tiring. It's a joy tat she brings to me. ANd it's gotta be even more fun with one more kidddo to play with.

Anyway, thank God, over the last 2 wks, i have successfully trained Kielli to stick to a routine with time-scheduled feeding. I have read many many books, talked to many many mummies, reviewed books and other mum's templates, spent 1 wk oberserving the bio clock of my gal and after many many many editings , hey.....here's my customized routine template, customized to Missy kielli's sleeping & feeding bioclock:

7.30am wakeup/milk/play
9.30am Milk/ 2 hrs morning nap (mummy checks emil, facebook, others)
12noon milk/ play
2.oopm bath
2.30pm play
3.00pm milk/3 hr power nap ( mummy reads n sleeps)
6.00pm milk/play
9.00pm cleanup/milk
9.30pm bedtime

many books commented tat routine is essential for kids as it gives them security over wat is expected to happen per day. guess to me, most importantly, it allows me to have predictable free time during her 2 predictable naps. and plan my day more effectively.

so basically shopping time for me is
12-3pm after her morning nap.
6-9pm after her noon nap.

and hey, if u wanna call me n have a 2hr power chat over msn, facebook or phone, do so from
10-12pm or 3-6pm when kielli having her naps.

ok. catch up more...the gal is squealing...:)
