What I know for Sure

It has been six months since I have been promoted to a mom of 3. It has been less hectic than I have expected and I can proudly say that I am managing fine with the 3 kids.

Being there to watch them grow up I have noticed lots of similarities and the differences between mothering boys and girls.

I know for a fact that.

  1. My kids are super active and really don’t need to sleep.

    I’ve given up chasing them off to bed for a nap or to bed early at night.  Another thing is that they are all light sleepers and wake up really easily…especially the baby.

  2. Girls are more into food then boys.

    I don’t remember the boys being so happy and start squealing and laughing when they see food being placed on the table. It’s really fascinating seeing the 6mth old light up like a light bulb and going “mummum…mummum” when she sees her bowl and cup being placed
    on the table.

  3. I’ve always wanted my girl to have curly hair and dimples.

    I guess it is by GOD’s faith that she turned out exactly as I wanted. The boys have straight hair but her’s is curly. She has slight dimples on both sides when she smiles. They are not as clear as Monkey boy who has really deep set dimples.

  4. I will never regret putting my family 1st.

    It’s bad enough having so many things to cope with at work. The worst is that they do not appreciate what you do for the company and are extremely eager to work you to the bones.  Even your best efforts maybe written off as expected and they constantly expect miracles from you.

    I’m glad that now work is taking a back burner while I focus all my energies where they are most needed and appreciated.

What do you know for sure?

My 1st Quarter Favourite Pictures

I found this meme through Buckroomama this morning and decided to play along.

I’m hoping that I will be able to choose  my 5 favourite photos of the kids taken from Jan-Mar 2011.

 

  1. The boys had been bugging me to bring them to Snow City.  They really had a blast in the snow with their dad that day during the CNY holidays in Feb.

2.  One of the rare shots where I manage to get all 3 kids facing the camera together.  You can see the chubby cheeks  and cheekiness on all their faces.

 

My 3 darlings.

3. It’s really cute to catch my little tiger girl waving for the camera. That’s her cheeky 2nd brother trying to  get her to look at him instead.

4. My smiley baby.

5. Another smiley picture of her on her daddy’s lap. She really loves smiling and it really brightens up my day seeing her face.
