My 1st Blog

03 September 2008

Wow, finally I get to creating a blog about my darling ger...Something which I always wanted to do but keeps dragging either cos I am too busy or lazy to start my fingers moving.

But then I figure if I don't do it now, I might regret in the future. Time flies and children grow up fast. Before u know it, you will probably be a greying old nanny, trying hard to recall the past...those special and memorable moments that you want to capture in your heart ....

Haha.. I probably want to make my life easier and God forbids, if I ever get senile, I still have these postings for me to reminicise these golden moment s of a lifetime:)

MY DARLING GER , Karissa is now close to 14months.. Can't really imagine how she has changed from a teeny weepy baby of 2.62kg to the current complacent ,little " tyrant"...Oh well, one thing that has not changed is that she still cries a lot.. especially when she realises how " powerful" that weapon is to getting her way...

Both my hubby and I try to discipline her by ignoring her bawling, hoping to make her realise that crying doesn't help ....

BUT In The EnD, We have to raise our hands and Surrender to her Especially when the volume of her cries are switched to the maximum, raising the eyebrows of curious passers-by in public... From the disciplinarians , we bowed down to becoming her servants, pacifying her with toys and candies while taking turns to coo and rock her until she is gurgling happily in our arms..

So much for discipline.. We are really TRAITORS to our own teachings! :(
tsk.. tsk...tsk...

Talk about today whereby she was messing with my cosmetics pouch on the sofa.. taking out the items one by one and then putting them back again and taking them out again ( Oh, and she really loves exploring with my eyebrow pencil, feeling the tip and putting the cap on and off again..)And when she got tired of them, she simply overturns my bag ,lets the items fall out and flung the pouch away...

Gosh.. wat an incorrigible brat!

I decided to show her my " Power " as a mum then...slapped her gently on her chubby hands and muttered " No".... And guess, wat she did...? She acted innocently, mouthed a " NO" after me, waving her hands, picked up the pouch and flung it aside again!

Really.. the Things that Kids can Do are really %^&^*..

Ultimately, I decided to put a stop to that and snatch the pouch from her.. and the " music" from her started expectedly...

Luckily, this time, it lasted for only a short while.... "Phew"


***** UPDATES *****

Oh yes, Karissa just had her 1st gummi of Vitamin C today and she LovEs it...

Hehe... she automatically tries to walk by herself without us egging her on like the usual times.. Of cos, now and then... we will clap hands and encourage her on her efforts... Gosh.. you should see how that look on her face... haha.. feeling so proud of herself..She ought to though, as this is her very 1st achievement now... Hurray!!!! Thumbs Up! My sweet Darling...
