Who Says Mummy becomes dumber?

My 2 cents worth


Read from an article,

"During pregnancy, learning and memory skills improve dramatically, say researchers, reversing the popular myth that it is a time of dumbing down. Key brain areas also alter in size; changes that can persist for decades. Far from transforming mothers into weakened emotional wrecks who lose car keys and drop in IQ, it turns out having children makes them cleverer. It's just hard to spot thanks to all that lost sleep."

Read about it.

Isn't it amazing to be cleverer by just giving birth. HA! I thought somehow, after giving birth, mothers tends to get absent minded. Or purely we try to shut our minds off from the things around us. Hmmm..... So that we concentrate on our darlings.

Talking about our darlings, BB Seth was erratic last night. Hiaz. I put him to bed at 9.30pm. Did the usual routine and he slept, after Olive Tree went in to pat him. Since Olive Tree said his darling boy will sleep after the pat. Ok lor, I let him be. Who knows, at 10.30pm, BB Seth woke up and cried. Thinking that he probably is hungry since I fed him at 8pm, I gave him his last feed. I don't know if it's a mistake to have breast fed him. Cause after that, he woke up every 1.5-2 hrs again!? Hiaz....I am draining. I had a running nose and getting on my nerves. Trying to have a good rest so the flu will get away. With BB Seth constant waking moments. I tak boleh tahan! I went to the other room and hide from him when he woke up at 1 am. He cried for 15-20 minutes then fell asleep with Olive Tree patting again.

He's very whining today. Whole day whine here and there. URRRGH! But still, he is our darling boy. I fed him 2 meals today. First meal being unsuccessful as he refused the brown rice cooked with soup made from carrots and potatoes. Actually the taste wasn't as bad. I think he dislikes the texture of the brown rice.
Second meal was his favourite, pumpkin. He finished it instantly, though with tiredness in him. Makes me happy.


Cheeky boy

Jesus Loves Me

Seth woke up from his afternoon nap. He walked out of the bedroom and I was in the living room. Started to warm up a bit, and then he drove his fire engine truck around the living room. Next moment, here's what he was singing, Jesus loves me, yes I know, For the bible tells me noe, Didder one to him bidon, Yes, Jesus, loves me..... I thought I have heard wrongly, and he was repeating the song again and again. It's amazing for me. :) The effects of singing lullaby to your kid. They do remember!!! And can sing out almost 70% of the song, though the pronunciation may not be there for some words. But he gets the tune correct. It's so cute and heartwarming to hear that from my boy.

Updates....more updates

D-day for IRAS e-Filing! I am such an 11th hour person, that I manage to e-file my tax return last night. Anyway, I am not getting any income for year 2005. So it's totally easy for me to e-file. Clicking and clicking a few buttons and the e-file is done. However, it wasn't so smooth flowing for Olive Tree. WHY? Because he has forgotten his Singpass PIN and he has to get a new one. Worse part is, he can only get it today, since I am such a last minute work person, he'll have to mad rush into getting the PIN from the appointed places for SINGPASS application. I felt bad and I apologise. What to do with a wife like that? Just have to bite the bullet lor. Since last week test posting in the office is working well, I deem I should step up my blog update. Has not been very constant in updating my blog, be it the scrapblog or this. Feeling bad about it. Seth has been growing in tremendous speed! haha! That's obvious! He starts to enter the mimic stage where he'll mimic t...

How he has grown, so is she... and my work

Have been busy for most of the weekends, shopping, spring cleaning around the house, resting, working.... Seems to have so much to do and so little time now. For I am such a last minute person, still not able to do proper time management. Sad. About Seth Toddlerhood has been challenging. He shows his temperament, he speaks his mind, learns really quick, be it bad or good habits. At a stage, he can be such a good boy a day, the next day, he wants to get what he wants and relentless till he gets them. We can pull all our hair out and he still insist to have it his way. Coaxing, scolding, all we've tried..... indeed challenging. We have to be really patience and stick to a routine for him. No matter how tired I may be, I would stick to the regular routine of getting him to brush his teeth, clean his face, morning, night, nap when we are at home. Cos if he didn't get his deserving rest, we get our deserving tantrums from Seth. As usual, he will make us melt with his awesome silly s...
