Where do I start?

there have been so many occasions where I tell myself “I need to update my blog” and get distracted by other things like housework, spending time with Kate, putting her to bed which can take more than an hour at times, and a whole heap of other stuff. A day or 2 passes and I tell myself I need to blog about all those things that happened, and then something else needs to be attended to and blogging gets de-prioritised again. And by then, several weeks have passed and being someone who enjoys chronological order, I stress about how to blog about all the things that happened over the last couple of weeks. Aiyah, too hard. Don’t blog.

So, this is what I have decided to do. Forget about chronological order. Just blog when you can. Mini updates better than no updates .. haha

Here goes:

Kate is soooooo adorable and cheeky. Dunno whether to be upset or just smile at her when she smiles at you after being cheeky.

She wants to feed herself and I usually encourage it except on days when we are in a rush, or if she has bathed, or we are out. She throws a tanty and pushes the bowl away if I try and feed her and we end up with an upset bubba and momma. The other day, she insisted on feeding herself lunch (porridge) and yes she got it on her face, in her hair, on her high chair, the table and the floor. Some almost ended up on my hair.

Kate surprised Ken and I by saying “bubbles” a couple of mornings ago when she gave her rice bubbles. I did not teach her that coz we usually do not serve rice bubbles at home (weetbix or toast is what we have) but childcare does give her rice bubbles for brekkie. Very good pronunciation I would add. She calls banana “nana” and says “ah-ple” occasionally.

Oh, and her kisses are sooooo heartwarming. She snuggles up to you, kisses you gently on your cheeks and finishes it off by saying “muah” … awwwww

I think she misses us. Clings to me when she gets home from childcare.

she’s gonna have mommy for the next 4 days .. whee .. mommy should be cleaning the house now while Kate is asleep but it is so cold she just feels like hibernating. Maybe Mommy will go and have an early night so she can wake up early tomorrow morning to clean while Kate is still asleep. Maybe sunlight will motivate me to clean .. I hope.

goodnite for now
