Let's celebrate for the freedom from daytime diapers!!!
Amanda no longer needs to wear diapers in the daytime, thanks to my mum-in-law's effort!
At night, we still let her wear (just in case! i dont wan't her to wake up in a puddle of u-know-what). Well, since it has been 2 days without it, she may of course sometimes still accidently pee in her pants. Give her about few more days of "accidently peeing"... well, she is a bigger girl now....
Ok, great achievement!! :)
"whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things"

Home and about
Isaac has just recovered from fever but still coughing... Amanda is coughing as well (echoed with phlegm)... She didn't sleep well last night, so did i (of course).
Bernard is outstation again, so back to me with the 2 kids, so exhausted and tired. Trying to make myself more relaxed and "Stop thinking about cleaning the house!"
Sometimes wondering if i myself is caught up in too much housecleaning whereby i used to think why my MIL is so particular on the cleanliness. Goshh.... Good thing my mother is not so much on that, so i am trrrrying to balance things up. Spend more time with the kids rather than scolding them for making mess around and picking up every single thing to make it tidy.
All the best in taking care of the new home and kids!

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!

How to deal with tantrums?
Article from Margaret Saunders
Initially tantrums are an emotional expression with the purpose of getting attention of the parent or caregiver. Then this gets a result.
So how do we control and moderate this behaviour? Changing the behaviour in babies and young children is all about motivation. And motivation can take two forms.
Positive motivation - that is encouragement, rewards and love.
Negative or fear motivation - that is threats of punishment or confiscating possessions.
Which method to use depends entirely on the child's age and the relationship with the carer and which one you are more comfortable with.
Here are several methods starting with a soft approach which we recommend, then followed by firmer alternatives.
1. The Firm Hug Method
When a child is in the midst of a tantrum, give them a firm loving hug. This requires the parent or carer to be in full emotional control. It could be argued that holding a wriggling screaming child may or may not be practical, but this method works very well in some cases. And is not so embarrassing if you are in a public place, such as a supermarket.
2. The Ignore Or Divert Method
This does sound like a contradiction but please read on. A tantrum is designed to get your attention. If you just keep on going and totally ignore that the tantrum is happening, it sends the clear message to the toddler that his actions are having NO EFFECT AT ALL. That may work by itself, but the method is made a lot more powerful by diverting the child's attention to something totally unrelated.
For example: in a shop, a toddler may tantrum to get a toy or snack etc, so you just ignore the fireworks and perhaps drop a coin and suggest a search, or urgently suggest to find a particular shopping item.
3. The Star Chart Method
This is our favourite. Create a chart with about twenty or thirty stars or dots on it. Cover the chart with clear laminate. Then use a whiteboard marker to colour stars for good behaviour. With your toddler's input decide on some reasonable rewards. They don't have to cost money ... A Trip to their favourite park, playing with friends, a small $ reward (which can also be used to introduce concepts of saving money and investing in a bank account i.e.: spend half and save half). If you spend a bit of time building up the reward in your toddlers mind, you be amazed how powerful this system can be. (Also could use a blackboard and chalk for your chart if this is easier for you.)
4. The Quiet Corner Method:
Decide on a location in your home and name it the quiet corner. You may want to place a chair in the location and call it the thinking chair (for older toddlers). I really don't like to name items the naughty corner or the naughty chair or any other negative description. Here we want to focus on the positive. When your baby or toddler has misbehaved they are either placed or sent to this location for a few minutes, allowing the situation to calm down and diffuse. If the child refuses to stay, always send them back. If they are extremely persistent, you might have to consider another method. But this system can work, and its very boring for a child to be facing a wall.
And it doesn't hurt if your child is old enough to ask for either an apology or ask how they could behave differently next time.
5. Smacking:
From our point of view this is not an option. If you have found yourself smacking your child please review our options for alternatives. The long term damage to a child caused by smacking is enormous. If you feel you need help from a professional to either curb your own behaviour or that of your child please, please seek help. If need be please call us so that we can point you in the right direction or offer you our support and ideas and positive encouragement.
And please, remember, that whichever of these methods works for you whenever you carry out a toddler taming solution always keep your heart open. You cannot love your child too much. Always reward and praise your child whenever they do the "right thing", and always tell them how much you love them, over and over again.

Bonding with your baby
Baby - Bonding With Your Baby
By Margaret Saunders
Not all parents bond instantly with their babies. That feeling that you want to hold and love and protect your bay is instinctive. But bonding is a little more than that. Bonding is about developing a bond between a baby and their primary carers. Both Mum and Dad will likely develop this special bond. Babies who develop strong relationships with their parents are much more likely to perform better at school, grow into secure well-adjusted adults and have much higher self esteem and confidence levels. Bonding is a natural process but there are some ways you can help out.
Touch:
A baby's first communication is via touch, so hold your baby close, allow them to lay on your tummy as you lie on your bed or a comfy sofa. Or you could carry your baby in a sling and get on with your work and day.
Eye Contact:
Always look at your baby's face and eyes as you talk to them. This shows them that you are completely focussed on them as you are talking. Use vivid facial expressions. Your baby will then learn the subtle facial expressions that make up 80% of our communication.
Massage:
Massage is one of the most relaxing and pleasurable ways of touching your baby and a way of promoting physical and mental growth as well as a strong parent-baby bond. Studies have shown that Baby Massage helps circulation and can help your baby's intellectual development as well. Some very young babies shy away from excessive contact. Just do what you can and if they protest try again another day.
Singing:
No matter if you can sing or not, your baby will not judge you. They just love the sound of your calm serenading voice. Popular nursery rhymes and children's songs often have a rhythm that is enjoyed by most babies. By singing and talking to your baby a lot, over time they will naturally learn the language as well. And this is a great way of soothing your baby and helping them to fall asleep.
Talk:
Talk, talk, talk! Just tell your baby about everything you are doing. Chores may seem a chore for you, but for baby EVERYTHING is new and very exciting. Although your baby may not understand what you are saying your baby will love to hear you chatting away about what you are doing, whether it is changing her nappy, or whatever. Baby will gain confidence from the fact that you are always near, even if the household chores need to be done. Tell them that you love them many times every day. Hugs and kisses are also so very popular with older babies. Just watch those lovely smiles light up their faces when you do this.
Bath Time:
This is a great bonding time for many babies. Most babies love the feeling of being immersed in lovely warm water and being gently washed all over. For the more unsettled bathers, you can try calmly singing to them to stay calm. Bath time relaxation and bonding can also form a great part of your bay sleep routine.
Slow Down
Life is getting faster and faster, but slow and steady is best for baby. Stop and spend time with your baby. Relax and enjoy yourself. Babies are the most forgiving little beings on earth. Your baby will love you no matter what. Whatever you do, stay relaxed and enjoy the experience Be assured in the knowledge that you are doing a great job as a parent. A wise person once stated, "The best you can do, is the best you can do, and that is enough."

FAMILY
F A M I L Y
I ran into a stranger as he passed by, "Oh excuse me please" was my reply.He said, "Please excuse me too;I wasn't watching for you.
"We were very polite, this stranger and I.We went on our way and we said goodbye..
But at home a different story is told,How we treat our loved ones, young and old.
Later that day, cooking the evening meal, My son stood beside me very still.
When I turned, I nearly knocked him down."Move out of the way," I said with a frown.
He walked away, his little heart broken.I didn't realize how harshly I'd spoken.
While I lay awake in bed,God's still small voice came to me and said,"While dealing with a stranger, common courtesy you use, but the family you love, you seem to abuse.
Go and look on the kitchen floor,You'll find some flowers there by the door.
Those are the flowers he brought for you.He picked them himself: pink, yellow and blue.
He stood very quietly not to spoil the surprise,you never saw the tears that filled his little eyes."
By this time, I felt very small,And now my tears began to fall.
I quietly went and knelt by his bed;"Wake up, little one, wake up," I said."Are these the flowers you picked for me?"
He smiled, "I found 'em, out by the tree. I picked 'em because they're pretty like you.
I knew you'd like 'em, especially the blue."
I said, "Son, I'm very sorry for the way I acted today;I shouldn't have yelled at you that way." He said, "Oh, Mom, that's okay.I love you anyway.
" I said, "Son, I love you too,and I do like the flowers, especially the blue."
FAMILY
Are you aware that if we died tomorrow, the companythat we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of days. But the family we left behind will feel the lossfor the rest of their lives.And come to think of it, we pour ourselves moreinto work than into our own family, an unwise investment indeed, don't you think? So what is behind the story?
Do you know what the word FAMILY means?FAMILY = (F)ATHER (A)ND (M)OTHER (I) (L)OVE (Y)OU
