How to teach your kids to Kiss

Sotong & I have been teaching my 2 little ones to kiss, those sweet little kisses on the cheeks.

Angela knows it, but Belinda being shy, she only do occasionally.

This was what happen last night:

While we were making little ones to sleep, I told Angela:

“Wan Yu, go kiss your sister..” *She uses her head & bang on to Belinda’s mouth*

“Wan Yu, this is not the way to kiss you know, you have to use mouth..”

She stoned for a while

Suddenly she drop her pacifier, crawl towards Belinda, pull off Belinda’s pacifier & opens up her mouth to “Kiss” Belinda!!!

hhahahaa…I can’t stop laughing!

That’s the cutest things I ever saw!

Well, thats really is her way of kissing! hmm..should give her more training on this.

Parenting - 21 Ways to Enjoy Being a Mom

 

Sometimes is to good to remind myself how enjoyable being a mummy of a twin. Especially when I’m need to send a urgent e-mail but they don’t allow me to sit for even 5 mins, when I’m so tired trying to put them to bed they keep running around…blar blar blar.. 

I was browsing through the Internet & found this article very funny.

  1. When you’re tired, hand your kids a brush, point to your head, and tell them to play beauty parlor. When you’re really tired, pretend that you’re Sleeping Beauty.
  2. Take your mother to a spa. While you’re both getting seaweed wraps, tell her all your favorite memories of growing up.
  3. Take a bath with your infant. Make sure your husband is around for the handoff, so you can relax until the last minute. (Don’t forget to smell your baby right afterward. Heaven!)
  4. At the end of every summer, take a family photo for the holiday card (you’ll be happy to have this accomplished once December comes). Every year, add a framed 11-by-14-inch print to your front hall. Your kids will be proud now and laugh later at the funny styles.
  5. On St. Patrick’s Day, dye the milk and eggs green and turn the furniture upside down so your home looks like total chaos. When your little ones wake up, tell them that the leprechauns came.
  6. The next time you have to go to a boring kiddie activity, invite another mom-friend along. Hide wine in sippy cups for the two of you to nurse undercover.
  7. Play Freaky Friday with your husband and switch roles for a day. Enjoy his renewed appreciation for his Super Mom wife.
  8. . In the dead of winter, fix some snacks, get under warm quilts, and watch Happy Feet on DVD. Tell your kids you love them even more than the penguins love their chicks.
  9. Go to the beach in the off-season. Throw rocks in the water and collect shells. Put them in a vase and use it as shelf decor in your living room.
  10. Skip the Raffi and Barney. Turn your kids on to Bob Marley, They Might Be Giants, and Gwen Stefani.
  11. Take your baby out to the movies at night. (Infants love the dark, and loud trailers make them snooze immediately.) Then you can sip your soda and munch your popcorn in peace.
  12. Buy yourself that fancy watch, strand of pearls, or whatever piece of expensive jewelry you’ve been lusting after. Justify your purchase by rationalizing that you’ll pass it down to your daughter (or son’s wife) eventually.
  13. Take your kids to live music performances from very early ages. Cheap ones outdoors are great to start with in case you need to make a hasty exit (like when a diaper explodes).
  14. Use your kids as an excuse to do the things you want to do, like going to silly feel-good movies, eating mac and cheese for dinner, and jumping in the moonbounce. Use your kids as an excuse to get out of things you don’t want to do, like going to a wedding or office party.
  15. Every Mother’s Day, have a picture taken with your kids. Keep the photos all together - along with special cards, ticket stubs, mementos, and anything else that makes you feel good about being a mom - in a shoe box. (Of course, you must get those new shoes you love in order to do this correctly.) Every year, look through your Goddess Mom box and see how much your kids have grown.
  16. Give your kids quiet time every day. Let them learn to be by themselves with books, crayons, or blocks.
  17. Let your whole family take a day off and hang out in pj’s all day long.
  18. Rent Sex and the City on DVD, and reminisce about the days when you were single and the biggest problem you had was whether the “He” of the moment was going to call. Let the romance of your youth seduce you. Then remember that, despite your freedom, all you really wanted was to fall in love and have beautiful babies.
  19. Pitch a tent in the backyard. Use it as your outdoor reading room. Or when there’s a full moon, plan a family campout with sleeping bags, a transistor radio, and s’mores, of course.
  20. Invent a house fairy. Give her a name, and tell your kids that she is always watching them and counting up their good deeds.
  21. Listen for the deep, happy sighs that come after your kids play or laugh really hard. Tuck them away in your heart.

Angela & Belinda’s 1st Birthday

Finally have the chance to update my website! Maybe its the change of environment, my kids keep clamping on my legs like koala bears wherever I go. I have to move in small little steps to make sure they won’t fall, as now they can walk quite steady. It was really like hell when I brought them over to Shanghai, as they don’t want the A-yi, making me real hard to do alot of things. *Even to go toilet as well! So have to play hide & seek with them.

Luckily after these few days, they finally accept the A-yi but when they sees me, there they go again, clamping on my legs like koala bears.

I read on a magazine, they say its normal for toddles to be like that, once they reach 2 years old they will be fine. Then they will change from koala bears to kangaroos! Jump…Jump…Jump…

We went back Malaysia to celebrate their 1st birthday before bring them over. We didn’t throw a big party, just a simple meal with family members. I mean they are still toddles, when they are about 3 or 4 years old then throw a theme party, at least at that age they know how to play with a lot of kids.

Getting dress up for the dinner.

This is their 1st time wearing skirts.

I love this photo, as Belinda is trying to play shy in front of the camera while PC is trying to take photos of her.

Singing birthday songs!

They are back from Morning walks, have to accompany them. I’ll blog more about my Melbourne trip in the next entry.
