Can your child write yet ?

My child Hazel turned 4 recently . I do not make her write alphabets at home , she chooses her own things to do. I let her be. 

I met her friend's mom in the bus. She asked me if Hazel can write. I said I do not make her read or write alphabets at home , so if she knows to write then it's her school that has done its job. She can read about all the capital and small , she can write the capital letters, small letters she is yet to catch up. 

Comes the reply from the friend's mom, "oh really ? My child can read and write all capital letters and small letters from age 3" 

Wow! Wow! Another mom who thinks she has done a better job than me ! Kudos ! Have a nice day !!

Good for life !!

I met a colleague on my way to office . She was very excited about having Good in her mobile. She excitedly told me that she now checks all her mails on her way to office , while in the bus. I smiled and left. 

Oh my God , that's when realization struck. I check my mails before I go to bed and as soon as I wake up in the morning . Hmm, going back to the old me, will only end in a disaster. Time to rethink and reprioritise.

10 PM Crying spell is coming to an end !!

Yay !! Finally Hazel's 10 PM crying session has finally come to an end . 

After weeks and weeks of handling the crying , mommy wasn't at her best behavior at all times  . Daddy dearest was so very upset with mommy handling Hazel during her 10 PM session. 

Mommy decided to let her cry it out. All through the last week , mommy let Hazel cry it out . Mommy watched and wiped her tears and kept nodding sympathetically , didn't say a word. Partly , because mommy was half asleep. 😜Mommy listened to all the sad stories , how Marlene wouldn't hold her hand for games . How Nephy wouldn't let her draw on her text book. How daddy left her with Aunty , and came back home with Nephy. ( She was raging mad on that day ) . How rude her teacher was , because she asked her to pay attention in class(the lady has got guys!!) . On and on , went her reasons to cry. She did a lot of crying . 

Finally, Hazel decided to call it off . The whole of this week , she hasn't done the 10 PM crying thing. 

Mommy is hoping her good luck continues . 

Pray for us ! Amen ! 

Nephy @ 8 years old!!

Nephy is 8 years old today!! 

Every year I say this, and here I go again. 

It only feels like yesterday that I brought home a squirming red faced baby , crying and whining, and now you are all grown up , 8 years old!! 

This year has been a wonderful year, you sailed through Promary 1, and formed a band of friends of your own. 

I believe your biggest achievement this year is that you walk back home from school all by yourself. Crossing two main roads and making it home right on time until this term has been the biggest help you've done for me this year. 

I have personally observed that you are a responsible child. Everytime I entrust you to some chore , you make sure you do it right and proper . Time and again you have told me that I can trust you to shoulder more responsibility. 

It's a burden darling. The one who works nice and proper , is always dumped more work. 

Stay blessed my darling !! 

You are my most favourite one ever !! 

(Don't tell this to anyone , on hindsight, I might have said the same thing to Hazel too) 

Sleep like a boss!!

Seems extremely comfortable to sleep like this.
