My Rocking Cradle

 
My reasons for a happy mother’s day:
 

He overhauled my world to become a daily frenzy of baby baths, feedings and diaper-changes. He made my everyday a daily challenge to become the best mom he could ever have… He made me realize that motherhood is my vocation. His very existence made me willingly submit myself.
At 3 years old, [...]

If I am to have my way, I would love my Little Dynamo at home with me and his baby brother. No school… not yet.
I just have to contend with this mess everyday.

But it’s a happy mess. How we come up with this mess everyday is a happy story in itself. I love having Little Dynamo around. [...]

Little Dynamo turned 4 months old yesterday.

His 7kgs body is becoming a little too much for his lola so their bonding time has been lessened. She could not carry him for his morning sunshine anymore.
But his daddy will be here very soon:-)…

One of the good practices that Little Dynamo got from school is praying. And so… since he started going to school, we have our bedtime prayer.
Now, aside from our bedtime prayer, he prays whenever he wants to… in the bath tub… in the car… in the church…

Wonder what he prays for?

“Lord Jesus, Lord Jesus… please do [...]

Little Dynamo: Mommy, I want chocolate candies.
Me: Nope, we don’t have chocolate candies.
Little Dynamo: Mommy, give me money so I can buy chocolate candies.
Me: Nope, we have a lot of food here.
Lola:  It’s ok, let him have chocolate. You don’t let him eat chocolate in Seoul.
Little Dynamo: (whining)
Me: Nope. No crying.
Lola: Come, apo. Ask Lola for money.

 The summer heat is here. 
So, off we went to the nearest clubhouse in the city.

Little Dynamo and cousin had so much fun. He showed his swimming skill (he doesn’t know how to swim *wink*) to Lola and confidently believed that he was teaching his lola and cousin to swim.

I believe in instilling inner confidence. This will [...]

Morning.
Little Dynamo and I were cuddling and I told him, “Promise me you will be my baby forever“. “Promise“.  
 
Afternoon.
Little Dynamo made poopoo in his brief while playing. Note: he had been completely toilet-trained at 28 months.  While cleaning him up,
Me: Why did you make poopoo in your brief? Are you still a baby?
Little Dynamo: But [...]

I love reading. I love browsing the net.
Ever since I got pregnant with Little Dynamo, I had been scouring the internet with pregnancy articles,  parenting and baby things. The information is just so vast I could hardly read, much more absorb, all of them. I chose a number of sites where I feel I could get the [...]

I am a mother.
And I love every minute of it. 
I can only get tired but I am never bored. The faces of my handsome princes energize me.
Baby Dynamo is 1 month and 16 days old today… How he has grown from a mere 2.8kg newborn babe.

His hand in mine. It feels good. It feels perfect. And [...]

I am an advocate of breastfeeding.
I breastfed Little Dynamo for eighteen months. I would have wanted it to be for a full two year period but he painlessly, and without effort, totally weaned out three days before he turned eighteen months old.
I am on a breastfeeding frenzy again with Baby Dynamo. I hope to do this [...]
