Being a mummy who does nothing all day with a primary role being to entertain and play with missy kielli, i seriously dun use much of my brain. i realise that i've become a little less alert, more forgetful and alas more blur. Ok, that's not a good thingy. Trust me.
Well, goodbye to office politics, work stress, deadlines, two-masked colleagues. Many simply say " hey, isn't tat wonderful??" oh well oh well, my life is simply quite relaxing and i am enjoying every bit of it. But, sometimes, it is tooooo relaxing tat i tot it;s kinda boring and i kinda miss the challenges at work and all the socialising. I luv to socialise and i get so bored that i talk to kielli about everything under the sun!! whahaha...:) about her bathtub, her rubber ducky, her toys, her daddy, God, mummies' shoes, bags, dinner, lunch, TV, everything...u reallie will be amazed how much a bored mummy talk to her kiddo. There was tis time i was so bored...tat i took out the 3 island shop necklances i juz bought, wore it and squeal loudly to kielli " prettie??? u like mummy's necklance??"
Sometimes, i get so bored. i start making funny noises at her and make funny faces. I've read books that imitation is a part of learning, so i'm like trying to make funny faces at her and see how many faces she can imitate. Well, at tis point, the onli thingy the little gal successfully imitate me is to stick out her tongue...haha....quite fun actually. :)
well, to prevent myself from bordom, i have been reading n reading in reading. U can't believe it. I haven't been spending on other stuff. But i have indeed spent quite an amt on parenting books tat i refuse to simply remember how much it costs me. My favourite time of the day is actually from 3-6pm when Kielli takes her nap and all is peaceful. I'll have the air-con, play my favourite disc, have ice-cold milk tea with some mints or my favourite ice-cream, snuggle under my quilt and read. Ok. i am a lazy bum. I luv to read. And i luv to read in bed. :) I haven't had time to read while working, so bascially, i particularly enjoy the free time i have now to simply read n read.
Been learning much thru reading. And sometimes, when i am in the moood, to exercise my brain, i kinda juz draw some mind maps to help me remember wat i read.
Ok. One fine day, i shall juz list down the parenting books i have been reading Would be useful for parents looking for resources.
till we meet..

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...:)
