Aloha 5QF~ Post Birthday Edition

Tiger girl has been zooming around lately since she started crawling around. She now goes for more fancy rides like this tricycle above when we go out to the park. Her she is trying out a friend’s daugther’s tricycle. Isn’t it cute..it has lovely stickers and it plays music. We have a similar one for her that was passed down from her brothers.

It has been a busy week parenting solo as R is away (again) on business trip. The good thing is that the kids are no longer sick and do not need any medication. Yeah!!

1)If you had a weekly newspaper column, what would you name it?

It would be  Mookies Weekly Digest. I like the way “Mookies” sounds.

2. Who is your mentor/inspiration?
It would be my friend F as he is a guy would radiates very positive vibes and is one with himself and religion.

3. What is your wake up beverage of choice?
Fresh Milk.

4. Would you wear your mom’s clothes?
Yes. If the clothes suit me and the venue.

5. When you were a kid, did you put posters on your wall? If so, what were they of?

I don’t remember putting posters on the wall. However for my kids they have a big Cars2 poster on their door at the moment.

My questions this week

  1. How do you approach sensitive topics like sex with your kids?
  2. At what age did you start educating your child about these topics?

My answer ( I know some readers are interested to know)
I think that now at 1st year elementary is a good time to educate my eldest and give him a “clear” picture about these topics so that in time to come he will be able to make informed decisions and do have enough trust in us to let us know his thoughts/decisions.
I do have some books and at present there are such programs on TV which I may let him tune in and watch alongside us to let him be better informed.

Voicing Out – About Being a Mom

,

Tiger Girl and me at Wetlands Park in Hong Kong.

A year ago my little girl was just born. It was a learning experience for me as it was the first time that I was parenting a girl this time as compared to being parent to two boys. It wasn’t a really steep learning curve for me this third time around but there were distinct differences between girls and boys.

I was ‘new’ to handling a baby girl and many things that I had to relearn as the last newborn I handled was more then four years ago.

Here are my  five tips  to all new mothers.

  1. Do what you are comfortable with.
    Old wives tales are just that tales to be taken with a pinch of salt.
  2. Try to get as much help as you can.
    An extra pair of hands will always come handy when you are adjusting to the new addition and changes in your normal routine.
  3. You do not need all those fancy baby equipment.
    Choose things for their functionality rather then it being eye candy.
  4. Take care of yourself.
    Eat and rest when needed. Only when you are able to function well will you be able to give your baby the best care.
  5. No mother knows all the answers.
    Every child is different and no book will be able to fully prepare you for how to nurture and care for your child. You learn from trial and experience.

What other tips will you give new moms?
