Birds and Bees
The rain behind the window pane
Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008When the view outside our windows start looking like this, Tee gets really worried and starts clinging onto me like a baby monkey. She has been terrified of thunder since forever and I tell her that it is only God warning the people and animals that it is about to rain thus they have to […]
The fascination for Mr Men and Little Miss - Roger Hargreaves
Monday, October 6th, 2008Yes, Roger Hargreaves - damn you!
Tee has been loving Mr Men and Little Miss books of late and I hate them. I hate them because they are so bloody long and when she needs to go to bed really quickly (like when we’ve had a long day and we’ve passed her bedtime), the Mr Men […]
Tee’s love for her boyfriend
Friday, October 3rd, 2008Tee, my four year old, has had the same boyfriend for almost two years now. That’s long for a kid. But what can I say? My girl is loyal. And so far her boyfriend is too. I have big fears though, because she thinks her boyfriend will be hers forever and ever, whilst we all […]
Children discovering things for themselves
Tuesday, September 16th, 2008Tee, my cheeky fairy princess…..
It is common knowledge that experts have always advised parents to leave their children alone during play to allow them to learn about the world themselves. For example, if you give your child a set of blocks, then let him play with it himself. Don’t offer suggestions of what to […]
What’s pojestwone, Mummy? It’s Progesterone
Monday, September 24th, 2007All of you must think I’m bonkers for discussing hormones with my three year old but those of you who have been following this blog since she was a lot younger will know that Tee, is one of a kind. She demanded to know about periods long before hitting three.
So.
Just so we’re clear.
I have not been […]
Tee’s First School Field Trip
Saturday, July 28th, 2007We inched up at nightime (to me! after sleeping at 5am), to catch the big orange school bus to the National Bird Park today. Now, Tee has sat on several tour buses in her lifetime, even open-aired ones but the big orange school bus? That was her dream! It was her indication of independence, a sign she […]

Tuesday, July 24th, 2007I got this this title from The New Parent. An ever inspiring Dad who’s never short of ideas in raising excellent kids, then selfless enough to share his wisdom. I salute you, Frank.
Picking up where you left off,
Here are some of mine:

How couples rub off on each other
Sunday, July 15th, 2007Warning : long post ahead.
************************************************
I once heard a couple guru say, ‘the longer a compatible couple are together, the more they start looking like one another.’
This is true as far as I’ve observed. I’ve been couple watching since puberty to break this theory but after watching the faces of couples evolve over the years, I really […]
Where did I come from?
Saturday, May 19th, 2007When I was 10 years old, my Mother bought me this book titled “Where Did I Come From?”
Back then, it was the ONLY book which described the birds and the bees to children. I brought it to school one day to share it with my friends, who subsequently borrowed it. And then the book was […]
