Guilty...

sigh.... it suddenly dawned onto dh and myself tt we seems to be expecting too much out of Kady.
This is after Vera's born...

I guess sub-consciously we have been comparing Kady and Vera...
what I meant was when we have a new baby at home, we kinda expected Kady to be the big sister and to behave in a more mature manner.
We have "forgotten" that Kady is afterall only a 4 year old little girl. :(

To be honest, when we take a step back to see Kady in a new light, she has been pretty mature for a 4 year old. She readily accept Vera as her baby sister and helped take stuff for us (for Vera like diapers, wet tissue, etc) too...

I think for the past month, both dh and myself are guilty of being too strict and setting our expectations of her alittle too high... We will now constantly remind each other that Kady is still only 4yrs old and we should cut her some slack...

Another Milestone for Vera

Vera managed to flip over to her tummy tonight!!!!
another milestone!!!!

Wow! She's really fast...
Remembered that Kady 1st flip was when she was abt 5mths.

Its another First!

Well, Life is full of first times eh?
Y'day was the first time Kady *left* us...
she went for an overnight camp that the childcare centre organized.
Heard from the teachers this morning when we picked her up that she cried last night saying that she misses mummy... awww.... I missed her tons too!
When Kady was around - the house is full of noise... but when she wasn't around...
Gosh! The house become so quiet!
You definitely can say she bring alot of "life" to our home!

I made the below dinner on Wed....
Top: Garlic Mashed Potato, Mushroom Soup, Strawberries.
Bottom: Pork Chop with Red Wine Sauce and Salad in Orange Balsamic Vinegar sauce.

Another 1st time for me - Orange Balsamic Vinegar sauce.
A very simple recipe but oh so yummy!
Just Olive oil, Balsamic Vinegar and Freshly squeezed OJ!
The next time, I will add some mustard to complete the taste!
I didn't add it this time cos we ran out of it..... :)
I also added some sunflower seeds to the salad to complete it. YUMMMMMMY!!!

Missing Vera

Today is the 1st day that Vera has *left* me...
She's at the Baby sitter's today.
I'm missing her baby smell, smile and looks soooo very much!!!

How time flies!
Soon I'll have to go back to work...
something that I am not exactly looking forward to!

I wonder how Vera is doing at the Baby sitter's.
Hopefully, she'll behave and the Baby sitter will catch on to her habits soon...
sigh.....
