My Little Einsteins.

Time really flies. Seems like not too long ago that we brought our little Princess home from the hospital. Now she is already 9 months old. In a couple of months or so, we will be celebrating her first birthday.They really grow up so fast. Looking at Caitlyn now, I can’t believe it’s been almost a whole year! She is such a cutie…She never fail to attract a small gathering of people ooh-ing and ah-ing at her wherever she goes. Sometimes I can’t believe that she is mine.

She is really a Princess through and through… From the moment she was born she had her Daddy round her little finger… I’m not exempted from this, of course. Compared to Aiden, we are much, much more easy with her. Aiden went through boot camp! Let’s just say…it’s really different when you have a baby girl. I don’t know why,it just IS! She never fails to put a smile on our face.

I’m so thankful that both Aiden and Caitlyn absolutely adores each other. It really warms my heart when I watch both of them playing together. Everything Aiden likes, Caitlyn likes. Everyday at 6pm they’ll both watch Little Einstein together, Aiden will tell Caitlyn that she is Annie and he’ll be Leo (Annie and Leo are siblings in the cartoon) But just like any children they have their moments too. Caitlyn is not to be taken lightly…that girl is already fighting back at 9 months! And she knows just the right button to push…scream for Daddy and purse her lips. Works like a charm! But there’s no denying that they love each other even at this age. Caitlyn crawls to her brother’s room looking for him whenever he is not around calling ‘A-tah’ (her way of calling Aiden) Aiden is sooo proud and protective of his little sister to a point it sometimes becomes a issue.( He wouldn’t let anyone who is not family near his sister) Boy, she’s gonna have trouble dating!

No More Space In My Brain.

Today is the third day of school. He didn’t want to go at first,he was all dressed but didn’t want to leave the house. I actually had to threaten him with the clothes hanger (no rotan in the house) after asking him why he didn’t want to go to school. He actually said that he didn’t need to go to school anymore because he already knew everything and that he didn’t want to learn anything more. Hmm…now, I wonder what he got that from? And I also later found out that he told my mom that he has space in his brain for numbers, ABCs, Mandarin, reading and colouring so many things so no space for Bahasa… head is not big enough.It might be funny but it really makes me think…Are we pushing him too much? Greg and I were apprehensive about sending him to school so early but that seem to normal now. When we were kids there was no pre-school, we only started to learn our ABC in Kindergarten. Aiden is 4 and he is already reading and writing and he recognises more Chinese characters then I can. At 4 I was still running around in my panties watching Chinese TVB drama at my granny’s house.When we sent Aiden to pre-school last year April/May…the teacher asked us why so late?So the question is are we expecting too much out of our kids? Or is it just normal now? Without a doubt we all want the best possible start for our kids but where do we draw the line? Many mommies that I chat with sends their kids (Aiden’s age) for extra speech and drama classes, art classes, language classes… even yoga! Hahaha! And here I am trying to get Aiden to school…which, in these day and time is…considered a ‘have to’ otherwise you are deem an unfit parent.But when your child is saying things like “There’s no more space in my brain.” What is he really saying… What am I as a mom to make out of it?When I was pregnant with Aiden there were many thing that I promised that I’ll do and not do as a mommy… Many which I find is harder then I thought! One of the things is I will not be a over zealous mommy…I will make learning a fun experience for my children… Here I am, I find myself peeling Aiden off the school floor and threatening him with a clothes hanger…..? SIGH!!!

Sunshine’s second day at school.

Second day at school is better. Greg took him this time. I’m still hiding in my shell after yesterday and I’m beginning to think maybe I’m really not made to do this. Greg said that he did cry a little at first but the day ended well with Aiden leading the class in a song ‘You are my Sunshine’! saying that this is his Daddy’s song to him. He came home happy and he even story me about his day at school which he usually don’t do.

Maybe it’s just me…I’m running out of patience or maybe it’s just that I’ve been really stressed lately due to some personal problems. I can’t seem to create any lay outs for my scrapbook too…mental block. Now I truly agree and understand what the other scrapbookers say that it’s not only a hobby. It’s a way of life, you will see how a scrapbooker see the world through the lay outs.
