My Little Helpers

The two boys have a new hobby. They make sure that I cannot clean the house as fast as I can. They take the pleasure in taking away from me the vacuum cleaner. When they are both in the house, they would take turns tormenting me until I manage to finish the cleaning. Today, Baby Dynamo [...]

And He Turned 4!

It was a fun-filled day for my Little Dynamo.  He turned 4 with an advance birthday party well-attended by friends. A kiddie party’s venue counts a lot in having a fun-filled and tantrums-free party. Kids can release their energies through jumping and playing. I’m so glad our apartment has a playroom convenient for holding these kind [...]

This Day Last Year

Exactly a year ago today, I was a helpless mom as I was waiting for my precious Little Dynamo to come out of the recovery room in Yonsei Severance Hospital.
