Last day...

Today is Yule's last day of school at JCCK.. and yesterday, the day where Yuxi turned 6 months old, was the last day of my pump... finally!

I'm happy for Yule who had really nice experiences in her one year at JCCK... making friends; and having best friend; learning new songs, new skills and new knowledge; learning to be more disciplined and all the cool outings to Marina Barrage and Duck Tour... and her solo performance during Children's Day and class performance today (the last day of school). Yes, we are so proud of you, Yule! You are really a quite a performer! I especially like to see your signature move on stage - shaking backside!!

What's even more wonderful is that I could be part of these new experiences, since I was very much around during the second half of this year, joining her in several school celebrations and activities... I am so thankful...

Last day also signify the beginning of something new... last day at JCCK means a new start at Child Care.. last day of my pump also means that work in school is starting and waiting for me... I am apprehensive. Will blog more on that.. now, just a showcase of some photos of Yule and her experiences in JCCK.

Lesson #3 A child's behaviour is a mirror of our own

Not too long ago I was upset with Yule's temper tantrums. I really disliked the way she would shout or scream when she was angry, and worse, when her screams were targeted at me! I couldn't stand the way she would glare like a defiant teenager, and used means words like 'I don't want you!'. These behaviour would really upset me.

Few days ago, hubby told me when I was angry I looked like that too! Its difficult to swallow the reality and I hate to admit it that sometimes I do flare up and I'm sure Yule would have seen the look on my face, and worse still, learned it!

A child's behaviour is indeed a mirror of our own. Its therefore so important to reflect and do our constant self-check. What type of a child we are raising, it is really up to ourselves!

Cute Yuxi

Little Yuxi is so irresistably cute now! Haha! I just love her big round eyes, little cutie mouth, big fat thighs and her contagious laughter! And I just love her shy demeanour where she will turn away her face or hide her face on my chest when someone teases her... or she will begin to pout her little mouth to show her displeasure.. all these just ascertain her mummy me as one of the exclusive few whom she feels secured with.. Just love it! hahaha!!

I remember asking myself when I was pregnant with Yuxi how do I learn to begin to love a second child if all my attention and energy had been given to the first-borned for the past 3 years? Will the second one receive the same amount of love and attention? When I was pregnant with Yuxi, I didn't really thought much about her yet, my thoughts were mainly if Yule would be able to accept the baby sister, would Yule feel neglected, would Yule this and would Yule that.... I was still worried if I would love the second child just as much..

Now I know the answer.. it just comes so naturally! Its was rather silly of me to even think about not being able to love the second child just as much! I think mothers are just equipped with the motherly powers to multiply our love, attention and energy!!

my birthday!
