Cheeks to Cheeks

My previous post about poopies seems to have gathered quite a bit of response. I’m glad I am not the only one who is obssess about my kids’ poopy regimen. I have also noticed my readership has dropped quite a lot. I don’t blame anyone but myself. I am not blogging as frequently as before. I’m sure some people have deleted my url from their rss..hehe.

Anyway, I like to thank those who still participates in this blog. I will not be replying to comments today as I’m taking a break. Okay, gotta go now. We’re gonna celebrate my birthday day with dinner buffet.

Have a nice day!

It’s official! Cassie IS a toddler now.

Guess what I found her doing just few minutes ago?

She tried to draw on the wall with the marker pen. Thank goodness, the cap on the marker is still on it. Did I take a photo of her almost misdemeanor? Nope. I had to hurriedly carry her off from the toy chest. She was about 1.5 feet above the floor. Yup, this girl is a climber. She climbs onto every thing!

What does that mean to me? It means more workout for this Mommy.

I wrote this on my Facebook status today: “You know you’ve passed the grossology test when you get all excited about your child pooping in the toilet.”

After having been exposed to the many shapes and scents of the poop, I can very well say I have passed in flying colors. Are you the type of parent who would check your child’s excretion? I know a lot of Moms are. And, a lot of Dads aren’t. My husband is the type who just want to get rid of the nugget real fast. If this post is too much for you to handle, you can just stop reading here.

With Belle, I know her poopies are fine and I hardly check on the consistency. For Cass, since she is constipator, I would always grab a piece of tissue and feel her poopy (that is if she pooped in her diaper). I mean, if it’s runny, I won’t be feeling it lah! Too tell you the truth, I find joy in checking out my children poopies. But I’m sure in a few years, I won’t be ‘cos the stench gets stronger every year.

Anyway, the point of this post is: Cass did her first poopy in the toilet today! Whoopeedoo! I managed to catch her grunting in her highchair and we went straight to the WC. It took her about 5 minutes to get the hang of sitting in the Dora toilet sit, but in the end, she did it! I’m so proud of her. I know I have already jinxed it by posting about it (learnt from experience).  I really don’t care! I’m just so happy that she’s willing to sit on the toilet seat without a fuss.

Oh, what a week and it’s Monday again. Having both girls at home on Mondays and Fridays makes my week goes by faster.

Last Friday was horrendous ‘cos both of them refused to nap. Cass managed to nap for 45 mins but that was not long enough for me to get Belle to nap. My routine is to put Cass down for her nap first, then I would put Belle down. If I’m lucky, I would sometimes get both the girls to nap on the same bed. But, most of the time, that is not the case. I usually put the girls in separate rooms.

Anyway, I can tell my Monday is not going on well. Belle is getting whinny and she has been using her fever and cough as excuses. She kept saying, “I’m sick, Mommy” or “I’m coughing. I can’t do this.” As for Cassie, she isn’t much better. She has started to cough (again) and has been trying to get my attention to pamper her. When I have her on my lap, Belle would want to sit on my lap too. Cass has begun to show her jealousy streak. She pushes Belle away when Belle tries to sit on my lap. *sigh*

Now I have two clingy monkeys. I better get back to them.

I’m so tired.
Both kids refuse to nap.
I need nap.

Okay, enough of ranting. I’m gonna prepare my best friend’s signature dish: Ayam Masak Merah. Yums!

Mama, I love you so much.

Does my heart melt? You betcha!

Well, look at the time! It’s already 4.30pm and my day just zipped past me like a blink of an eye. I had been busy with car insurance claims and attorneys. Well, just 1 attorney. One is already making me fuming mad. I don’t even wanna talk or think about it anymore. I will deal with another attorney tomorrow. I can’t believe I get so stressed easily. I guess staying home with the babies mellowed me a lot.

Anyway, I have been feeding Cass a lot today. I think this girl is going through a growth spurt. She was pointing and mouthing “mumm mumm” all day long! We did another round of 100m dash today but she just refused to poop into the potty. Ah well, I ain’t gonna complaining. As long as her poop is soft I’m a happy camper. This girl can be very constipated if she doesn’t have her veggies, fruits and mass consumption of liquid.

Right now, I’m all poop out…but there is rice and dishes to be made. Thank goodness Cass is willing to nap now. I will have to call my MIL to find out what she’s cooking for dinner..hehe. It’s so good to have in-laws around. Having my folks here would be even better.

For the past hour I have been running.

That is, running from wherever I’m at to the loo. No, I’m not pregnant. I’m being a frugal mom. I just want to use less diapers on Cass. The girl has been having her runs lately and everytime she grunts I will lift her up and rush off to the nearest bathroom.

Let me tell you this, I’m getting enough cardio workout to last an entire week’s quota. Oh, did I mention Cass looks absolutely cute sitting on the big potty? Oh yea, I’m getting lazy too…no potty washing for me. Too bad I don’t have a free hand to snap some pics.

Enough talk/type…I’m off to the loo again. Well, this time it is for me. Muahahahaha!!!

the physical fighting between the girls.

Cass was holding a building block and Belle snatched it from her. Meimei was angry and when she is angry she will blurt out, “Da dadadada!” It was as though she meant business and that is her way of voicing her displeasure. Well, Belle saw me looked over and decided to give her baby sister a hug and she kinda squeezed her sister’s head with her arms. Well, meimei fought back by biting into Belle’s chest.

Yup, next thing I have is a 3 yo bawling in tears and kept saying, “I’m gonna tell Daddy! Waa..waa…” As for meimei, when I told her, “we do not bite.” Miss Feisty here went, “Dadaddadada!” It’s as though she was trying to tell me her sister started it. Oh yea, it was a funny scene.

Anyway, all’s well now. Miss Belle found her chewing gum and that pacified her. As for Cass, she’s off to playing other toys. Sigh, that’s how my Monday is today. How’s yours?

Belle loves mango.

When I say that, I really mean she LOVES mangoes. She can eat an entire mango. For a small person, that’s quite a lot to take in. An hour ago, she had requested for mangoes and I cut up a mango for her. She loves to eat of from the seed. We told her that only privileged people get to eat the fleshy seed part. So, every time she gets to eat the seedy part, she will say, “I’m special, mama!”

Today, before she took a bite on her mango, she told me, “Mama, give meimei mango.”

We must’ve done something right.

My dear little girl is putting her meimei ahead of her. I can tell she will be a great elder sister to her baby sister.

Belle baby, mama is so proud of you!
