Behaviour of a bossy toddler

Posted on December 8, 2007 by Mamapumpkin

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx  Bossiness is a common trait in three year old toddlers but it is a trait that I am trying to change Tee out of. It's going to be a monumental task seeing that her Mother is bossy herself. *grin* It is not unusual to see her ordering.......click to learn what next.

What shall I do with my newfound cash?

Posted on December 6, 2007April 30, 2009 by Mamapumpkin

I've recently come into some spare cash that I made myself thus can choose to use it whichever way I might. At first, I thought of doing some frivolous shopping (again!) in the form of a new handbag or some new crockery for my kitchen but a dear.......click to learn what next.

Tiredness in toddlers

Posted on December 6, 2007 by Mamapumpkin

This post by Shireen reminded me of Tee's unexpected collapse. I must say I am more aware now of recognising the glaze in her eyes and do the hourly calculation of whether she should be tired or not. *grin*

Tee meeting her Uncle for the fourth time in her entire life

Posted on December 6, 2007December 6, 2007 by Mamapumpkin

My brother from Melbourne (aka the Durian) flew home early this morning so being the loyal family members, Tee and I rushed excitedly over to my Mom's place to welcome him home. But the bugger had gone to sleep after he arrived before the sun had risen. Tee was disappointed as she.......click to learn what next.

Entertaining a toddler for 8 hours straight

Posted on December 6, 2007December 6, 2007 by Mamapumpkin

That is from 9am till 5pm. Take your toddler to the KLCC park at 9am in the morning when it's not too hot and before the crowd sets in. Rub sunblock on her or allow her to do it herself - more fun! Then let her loose and.......click to learn what next.

In making decisions about my three year old daughter

Posted on December 6, 2007 by Mamapumpkin

I asked the Hubs this morning, "Would you allow Tee to stay with her boyfriend when she is 30 years old?" "When she is 30, she can do whatever she wants!" "What about when she is 21 years old?" "NO." "If she was 25?" "I'll think about it.......click to learn what next.

My ancient phone, Sony Ericsson K610i

Posted on December 5, 2007October 8, 2013 by Mamapumpkin

I've only had my phone for less than a year but it is already close to being obsolete. That's how fast technology moves, faster than an eye blink. There are many reasons why I like my phone; the fact that it has a sophisticated camera for those candid.......click to learn what next.

Apart from those of you who have met my dearest beloved husband: Some of you have requested to see the Hubs since I have told you that Tee gets her looks from the Hubs and her brains from me (ahem), I have been spending all this time trying to convince.......click to learn what next.

On caning children, should you? Shouldn’t you? – Sparing the rod with your children

Posted on December 5, 2007December 5, 2007 by Mamapumpkin

Jo-N, MyLovelyMummy and BabyShern's Mommy has tagged me on this subject and I have also been meaning to speak my mind about it after reading about it ages ago at Colin's. The very sensitive subject of caning your children. In this instance, I will also refer the term caning to hitting, spanking, smacking, slapping,.......click to learn what next.

When I first saw posters of beautiful women at the back of some public washroom doors several months back, I was relieved that someone was finally doing something about it.

The really scary prayer

Of all my years on planet Earth, I've been pretty easy going and usually find good in situations or people. The only two people I ever came remotely close to disliking with an intensity were two boys in high school. One guy (I really was going to name.......click to learn what next.

Foolish young employee strapped for cash

Posted on December 3, 2007December 3, 2007 by Mamapumpkin

When I first came back from the UK, I was earning a meagre salary of RM1,600. Within 6 months, I'd fought my way up to RM2,500. After a year, I switched jobs and earned RM3,500. Being a young, foolish girl of the world earning my own dough, I.......click to learn what next.

Toddlers making lifetime friends

Posted on December 2, 2007 by Mamapumpkin

Tee attended a birthday party today and met these two little friends (shown below) for the very first time. They hit it off well and played together without a care in the world. Such innocence. I have always regretted my losing touch with all the friends I met along the way since.......click to learn what next.
