My Rocking Cradle

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 [...]

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? [...]

Little Dynamo is very articulate. Coming from his mom, others would smile and find it hard to believe and think that it’s just a result of my being HIS MOM:-) and dismiss my statement. LOL. He speaks his thoughts and emotions clearly. To my and my husband’s constant surprise, he uses words and phrases like “I [...]

For the past days, my Little Dynamo would wake up to: Little Dynamo: Is it daytime now? Me: Yes. Little Dynamo: Why is it daytime now? Me: Look out the window. The sun is shining now. Little Dynamo: The sun is here now? Why? and the whys go on and on… Sometimes, he would ask: [...]

Being far away from family and relatives, I had been so used to doing things my way and scheduling our own family time. My son’s playtime, playmates, hobbies and habits are mostly my discretion. Now that my son is of age to know what he wants and when he wants it, he takes pleasure in [...]

Yesterday was our last playtime with Little Dynamo’s Wednesday Playgroup. For our farewell, the destination was Kid’s Cafe in Songpa-gu, Gangnam. It is located inside the Olympic Park. For moms who would like to have a relaxing day, the Kid’s Cafe is an excellent alternative to the huge area inside the Olympic Park. Inside the Kid’s [...]

My mother’s side of the family is deeply religious. It is not a quality I have inherited but I do hold on to my faith. Anyway, my aunt never fails to remind me that things happen in HIS time, not our time. The surgery of my son and the activities I planned after the surgery [...]

At last, we can move on! I have written about recurring fever and VUR in my previous posts. But I haven’t really made any connection with these posts with our Little Dynamo. I guess this post will be the most personal post that I can write here. Now that the surgery is over and the [...]

So, what is VUR? VUR stands for vesicoureteral reflux – this is a pediatric condition that allows urine to flow backwards – from the bladder to the kidneys – through one or both of the connecting tubes (ureters). I have never heard of VUR before nor have known of any child diagnosed with this condition [...]
