Catch..

1. Catch Up



It has been almost a month since I blogged, a real cold turkey month for me.
Well, much of it is attributed to my lousy computer, which has a bad "scar" on its screen which inhibits me from reading anything or writing anything properly I have to resize the screen again and again to read simple news properly. Too much effort. I wished I can get a new laptop...

It has also been hectic, as there are a lot of ups and downs. And the kids are sick.. the usual potent flu bug which gave the kids the full works of cough, runny nose, fever and even rash on Xuan.

so I ran a pharmacy again for 2 weeks, and Xuan got so bad that he had to be on the nebuliser. And we had a screaming, kicking and violent kid in the house everytime he has to be put on the nebuliser. Thankfully by the 3rd day, he got used to the machine and the treat of sweets after that, so he was much calmer thru the process. But his fear is apparent as he kept saying "scared" and he labelled the machine "bad". sigh..

2. Catch-er..


The 2 boys drive me kinda nuts with their perpetual game of catcher.. screaming as they run through the house. While i should be happy with their bonding, but whentheir screams woke Rui up fromthe nap and I have a screaming and angry baby (who is usually most peaceful and jovial), my urge to scream and have a meltdown myself is imminent.

These are days of much self control.. kinda prepping for days of me as a stay at home month for the coming half a year. While i am glad to have the opportunity to be a stay at home mum for the 3 kids (thanks to my office arrangement for granting me the no pay leave), i recognise that it is a real challange to me...

3. Caught by..

I am always caught by how cute the boys are - I admit.
I know all parents feel pride in how their kids have grown, and it is natural.
But when I see their photos, or have a glimpse of their antics.. i find them really adorable sometime. The 3 boys all look so different, and have such different temperament, it makes parenting them a real experience in human nature.

En - always engrossed in his books, drawing or practising his numbers or alphabets.. This little boy seem to have acquired an innate love for the "bookish". He loves to read and do his exercises and it is a a joy to read to him, and huture his love for learning.

Xuan - always gibberish, dancing with a cheeky smile full of exuberance and never failing to charm his way with everyone. While he is definitely not bookish, it is a joy to just go along with what he wants to do. Just to see his dimpled smile.. but this boy does need to start to learn and speak properly soon - he is like 25 mths already but he is still mono-syllabic and behaves like a PG kid rather than the N1 kid that he is...

Rui - always cooing, swinging his arms and legs and smiling at ayone who looks at him... He is joy to hold and smell. At 3 mths, he is wearing clothes of 9-12 mths, really large for his size... but he has recently started developing the bad habit of not wanting to finish his milk. Other than this, he is a real joy to be around. Of all the 3 kids, I have to say i enjoy time with him as a baby most (no screaming like En, and more interactive than Xn as a baby), this one lights me up like nothing can, even if I only have 3 hours of sleep a day after tending to his sick brothers and in between the regular pump schedule.

Sigh... so my life goes on... ad here are the backdated and recent pics..
