Sleeping in the Bathtub

Hubby usually gives Little Dynamo his night time bath. Tonight he didn’t have a chance to. Little Dynamo was out of the house since 10:30am. I brought him to the playroom and he stayed there with the songsaengnim until noontime. We had lunch in one of the restaurants around our place and brought him back [...]

Mom 101: Do I Follow My Doctor Or Not?

I brought Baby Dynamo to the pediatrician more than a week ago for his vaccine. The doctor did his routine check-up… checked the chest, back, eyes, nose, ears. And he declared: “Your son has otitis media, ear infection. But don’t worry, it’s just mild. We need to give him antibiotics for two days. Please come [...]

Happy Mother’s Day

    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 [...]

Our Home, Our Daycare

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 [...]

Baby Dynamo is 4 months old

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:-)…

A Toddler’s Prayer

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 [...]

Lola:  It’s ok, let him have chocolate. You don’t let him eat chocolate in Seoul. Little Dynamo: (whining) Me: Nope. No crying. [...]

Summer is Here

   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 [...]

Po*p Anecdote

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 [...]

Baby Needs

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 [...]
