All About Your Child

This year, just like every other year, we celebrated Mother’s Day in my in-law’s place.

However, this year, we did not have a Mother’s Day dinner. We had a Mother’s Day MEGA DINNER FEAST! *faint*

At the end of it all, I looked like I was 4-5 months pregnant!!! *laugh*

Right after those plates and bowls were cleared.
THESE spiky green durians were placed on the table IMMEDIATELY!

THE ONLY CHILD, out of the six kids, who is interested in durian. Well, he DOES live up to his nickname ‘Fruit King’! *laugh*

Allan asked for a 15mins break before the NEXT FOOD comes onto the dining table. Well, everyone definitely need a small break from all the biting and chewing. We need time to digest!!! *laugh*

After 15mins was gone, oh man! Everyone was still very full, but we must have the cake cutting ceremony no matter what…..

This year, my 2nd SIL, with the help of her friend’s discount card, bought the famous Guanaja from Rive Gauche.

Ok, as mentioned in my previous post, the first few hours of Mother’s Day was indeed a happy one for me because of the my nieces’ sudden urge for a sleepover.

My wish of feeling like a Mother of 4 came true. Preparing 4 kids for bedtime was fun, especially when its my dream combination of two boys and two girls. *grin*

Still, I was pleasantly surprised and moved by the greeting from my eldest niece (who could not make it yesterday), when she arrived at my in-law’s place after us.

Chirpily, she came infront of me, squat down and called sweetly, “Omma!”
*smile*
Read this post to find out why she calls me that: “Me? Omma?”

Lovely gift from her, isn’t?

And when we went down to the playground for an hour of playtime, before the MEGA DINNER FEAST was served, my two elder nieces created a mini Mother’s Day bouquet for me.

Aaawwww…. so sweet!
*heart melted*

How was your 2012 Mother’s Day celebration? I had a blast! I hope you did too.

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!

MOTHER’S DAY 2012

Back-Dated Post: 15th April 2012

Every year, somehow I would missed posting my Nephew’s Birthday. Often doing back-dated post. This year too! *eyes rolled*

Well, maybe my heart is not with him or rather its the other way round. *laugh* For me, liking him did not come easy, even though I favour boys more than girls.

He is very demanding and likes to make a mountain out of a molehill, hence often causing every other kid, who is near to him, to get a scolding. In the end, no one likes to play with him except my friendly-to-all-Binbin.

W.D. loves to fake-cry and gets his two elder sisters into trouble. *pout*

Being cared by so many different people at the same time with different styles, explains why he is what he is today. There are no ‘regular‘ guidelines for him to follow because someone’s “Yes” could be another’s care-taker’s “No”. How confusing can it be for the child, right?

*sigh*

Since young, Allan and I are the 6 children’s playmates on every Sunday. However, I would shun away from W.D. as much as possible because, to me, he is a time bomb, until recently….

W.D. and his Mummy

Yes, over the recent weeks or maybe months, he started to come to me very often, asking me kiddy questions and updating me his latest wishlist.

Today, he was clinging to me like a koala bear! Sat on my lap and refused to get up for a really long time!

I could not explain why, but somehow, I liked it. *laugh* It was then, that I realised, I have started to like this boy.

I sat him closer to my body, smelled his hair and kissed his head. Hey! He liked it as he gave a broad smile when I did all of that. *grin*

Yes, for the first time, I realised I am starting to feel ‘OK’ with this nephew of mine.

Happy 5th Birthday Nephew W.D.!

Happy 5th Birthday Nephew!
