2 thumbs & a dummy

That’s right! You heard correct – Arianna’s got a new ride and it’s her Beepa 4 in 1. It is suppose to last kids up to 2 years of age and I do hope that it does. After all, it will come in handy when #2 arrives, when the time comes that is. The funny thing is, up till now, Arianna still hasn’t turned but she is able to jump and sit up quite steadily [aided of course] and sometimes when she is placed on her tummy, she does this cute comando style ‘crawl’. Not that she is moving forward…she goes around in circles. But still no turning and I’m not sure if it’s something I should be concerned about.

Many people keep telling me that she will do so in her time – and boy is she taking her time alright! I’m also wondering if she’s being a lazy bum because we used to leave her in her rocker a lot because she didn’t really like being laid down on her gym mat and by herself but she was fine on the rocker. I started placing her on her tummy when we were at the hospital hence, she’s got a pretty strong neck and back now. Praise God!

Ted’s been coaching her on how to turn. She seems to be able to twist herself 3/4 of the way but that one arm is always preventing her from completing the turn and Ted’s been trying to teach her how to stick her arm out so that it will help. I think and I hope that it’s working.

Other than that, I’ve kind of stopped packing for now. Can’t believe that I will be back home in Kulim around this next month! And on 28/3/2008, we will officially be allowed to move in although MIL will be bringing her friends over to clean the new place once the current tenant moves out. It’s all so exciting and I have so many thing I wanna do when I get there. I mean, the exercise machine Ted has is collecting dust and I so badly need to tone up, I really want to start sweing stuff because I know I can but I’m just too lazy to get started – I’m looking forward to sewing some curtain actually and I might just try sewing those clothes nappies that Aida’s done as well. Other than that, I’m just plain excited that we are moving into a bigger place. Lord knows Arianna’s toys itself has taken up 3/4 of our hall!! And that’s only her gym mat, her Beepa and the rocker….we still have the corber TV set and our 2 chairs as well. So…it’s REALLY getting cramped in here.

And since I’ve laid off the packing for a bit which is BAD as I really need to get my butt off the chair, quit Scarbulous [NNNNNNNNNNnnnpnoooooooooooo!!] for awhile and clear Arianna’s [supposedly] room for my sis who is coming down on 28/2 but I’ve been distracted not only by Scrabulous but also fooling around with Photoshop.

The joys of being a parent is that you are allowed to take any kind of shot at the expense of your kids.

Ever since I got the hang of the features and all, I’ve kind of been hooked on playing with the program. It can get quite addictive coz there is just SO much you can do! Anyway, time for bed…..Zzzzzzzz
