Happy 30 months old Korkor Aden!

Dearest son,

Mommy fell in love with you more than 30 months ago when you were still in my womb.. and I'm loving you even more than before! You've brought much joy and happiness into our lives!

Thank you for being such a sweet boy from Day 1.
Thank you for sleeping through the nights from 2nd month onward.
Thank you for being quite an easy baby else we wouldn't have brought you to the other side of the earth!
Thank you for the endless hugs and kisses that you are always so ready and generous with.
Thank you for being such a wonderful son to us.

WE LOVE YOU!

With truck loads of love,

Mommy & Daddy

24th Week!

Hello Baby G!

Mommy is here again! :) You're officially 24 weeks old in mommy's tummy! And we're going to see you very soon my dear! You have been very active in mommy's tummy and I can't describe how I love having a little one kicking. Daddy can never understand. Mommy always feels that 38 to 40 weeks of pregnancy is way too short!

Well, our "expected" meet-up date is 8 Aug. Would you like to be a National Day baby? It's really up to you to decide. Mommy can only hope for it to happen... :p

Anyway, mommy would like to share an incident that happened yesterday.

Mommy was on the way to the office yesterday traveling by the MRT and I noticed a 8 yo little girl looking loss and helpless. She alighted at the same station as mommy. Seeing her alone and helpless, mommy approached this girl and got to know that she's a tourist from Thailand and got separated from her family. Mommy brought her to the station control and waited until her mother arrived. Upon seeing her daughter, the mother gave the little girl a big hug and I could see tears well up in their eyes. Before I realised, I had tears in my eyes too! The mother thank me and we went our separate ways.

Hence, mommy learnt a lesson.

Most parent's first reaction would probably be screaming at the top of her lungs upon seeing the child and start reprimanding the child and blah, blah, blah.

Yet this Thai mommy's reaction was giving assurance to her daughter that everything is alright.

Our actions and reactions toward things can be very different and they bring upon different outcomes.

As the saying goes, "Action speaks louder than words".

What else can be more assuring to a child other than receiving praise and hugs from parents?

That is why Korkor never fail to receive hugs and kisses from Daddy and Mommy daily.

Daddy, Mommy and Korkor are looking forward to see you soon! Be prepared to receive loads of big beary hugs and wet kisses from us! *Muackkkkkkkk!*

With love,
Mommy

Mommy is back!

Hello darlin' children,

Mommy is here again after MIA for so long. :)

Well, the inital set up of this space was to dedicate to Korkor Aden but now that Didi Gibson is kicking furiously in mommy's tummy, to be fair for us, let's make it a space for mommy to rant about you kiddos! HAHA!

Let's just hope mommy will bring this space back to life and by the time you little kiddos grow up to young gentlemen, and hopefully a demure lady (mommy's crossing fingers!), this space will be filled with sweet memories for all of us, the chewies IMAGE. Yes?

So to kick start this new journey once again, your kiasu mommy has once again set up a gmail account for Didi Gibson (gibsonchew@gmail.com), just like what I did for Korkor Aden.

p.s. In Singapore, we have to do a lot of "chopping" in advance. :)

'til the next post, much love from mommy.
