Expression from Isaac Chin

"Daddy work HARDER, mummy work SOFTER"

"Today no need to go to Funcity hoh?"
"What day is today" Hoping he will answer 'Saturday'.
He replied, "Holiday".

"The tree all melting hoh?
See, all the tree melt worr"
He was pointing at those pine trees along the road.
The leaves indeed looks like it has melted!

"My stomach want to explode, pau- cha!"
when he is full!

Smell of heaven...

mmm.... smells really good....smells better than good! the smell is so hard to describe, but i will try to describe it anyway:

it is the smell of life, the smell of love and wonder...
it is the smell of delight! awe!
breathe in the smell of connection...
it is the smell of that special bond... the smell of "one-ness"
the smell of true home...
it is the smell of belonging...
the smell gets you addicted, makes you feel comfortable... estatic!

oh, it is the smell that wants you to rush home soon! and go to work late!!!
it is the smell of my baby Amanda!!!!
smells like HEAVEN!!!

(ahem! now, get back to work!!!)

The Blessing Song

The Lord Bless Thee
And keep thee
The Lord make His face shine upon thee
And be gracious unto Thee
And be gracious unto Thee
The Lord lift up His countenance
The Lord make His face shine upon thee

I try to sing this song as a daily prayer for my children. Especially now to Amanda as she goes to bed. I used to sing this song to Isaac too when he was younger and also throughout my both pregnancies.
Sometimes it is much easier to sing a prayer!

6 mths old -Routine

Here is the schedule of my 6m.o. daughter:

7am- wake up quietly... laying on the bed, playing by herself (another bf usually before i get to work)
8.30am- cat nap
9am- feed abt 5 oz
9.30am- bathing time
10am- cat nap again or perhaps a longer nap usually occur this time
12pm- 5oz feed
2pm- lunchtime (learning to eat semi solid food)
2.30pm- cat nap
3pm- 5oz feed
5pm- Wipe her clean
6pm- 5oz feed (sometimes she will just stop at 4oz, then it will be 2 hrs for her next feed) At this time, her 'koh-koh' will be back from kindi,
so she will be in the stroller in the garden
8pm- night feed before sleeping can range from 5oz-7oz
Sleep till about 4-5am.

That is her rough daily routine.
