My Rocking Cradle

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 visited his cousin, another boy, a few weeks ago in his house. They were happily playing with pillows. The nanny, who was watching the two, didn’t expect what happened next.
The cousin threw away his pillows and got hold of  Little Dynamo’s face and… as if Little Dynamo’s face was an apple - heartily took a [...]

My Little Dynamo had been a loyal Canus Goat’s Milk lotion and body wash user since he was a baby. I have always stocked up on it so even when we were in Seoul I had ample supply. So, it follows that my baby dynamo will also be a user. It isn’t available anywhere. I think [...]

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 [...]

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 always had so many coins. There was a time my coins can’t fit in my coin purse. This inspired me to give Little Dynamo a little lesson on savings.
And so I bought a toy car which could also serve as his coin bank. To give him a little excitement, I kept the key and told [...]

I am into co-sleeping. Little Dynamo is so lucky to be sleeping with us to this day (others might have a contrary opinion… LOL). I would have wanted my Baby Dynamo to be sleeping with us on the bed, too. In fact, I put off buying a crib until he was already born and I [...]

Do you use cloth diapers or disposable diapers?
I have a bias against disposable diapers because my Mom favors cloth diapers. I just held on to my Mom’s opinion on the matter. And so, Little Dynamo had cloth diapers until he was about four months old. I had him use disposable diapers only when we go [...]

In my son’s understanding, I was to be blamed for this:
 

Little Dynamo: (coughing while we were cuddling on the bed, sleeping time)
Me: You’re coughing because of those chocolates you ate. That was a lot of chocolate.
LD: Because I ate a lot of chocolates? Because you gave me a lot of chocolates?
Me: (quiet - he was [...]
