Of Watermelons, Great food and Ethan......of course...

Decided that since it's been a while I've updated, I'll include EVERYTHING(ok, the summarized version, of course) that's been going on with my life...

Went to a Watermelon Festival this past weekend in Oklahoma in a small town call Rushmoore. It's great, a real true blue, small country fare. I think my lil' gourment watermelon expert (Ethan) has the bestest time! He LOVES watermelon. He can live on watermelon alone(if I let him, YAH! in his dreams!). It was muggy coz of all the rain, but you know what, sunshine came back for a while and we had a really good time! (yah, if you don't have hair like mine, it WOULD have been great...San, you would know what I mean!). They actually have some watermelon competition and the winner went to a 141 pounder!! I wonder who gets to eat those prize winning suckers.....hehehe... Would be a waste not to get your hands on those beauties!! And of course, Ethan was slapping those PRIZE WINNING MELONS like drums. Somehow I didn't think those farmers appreciate that! *GULP*


Watermelon Festival in Rushmoore, Oklahoma 

You get to eat those succulent watermelons right there if you want to for a meagre price of 50cents a slice!! YES 50 CENTS!!!! You heard me.....HALF A DOLLAR/TWO QUARTERS/FIVE DIMES!!! Mannn....they were good, it was one of those elongated varieties and they cut it into quarters, lengthwise!! Some people ate their pieces with sprinkling of salt on it. I know, sounds weird, but when I tried it, it was actually quite refreshing! Not strange at all! I guess they knew what they were doing afterall.


Great watermelon! 

And that's the pic of my greedy lil boy dripping with watermelon juice. The sun was in his eyes and it didn't even bother him, well, it's watermelon, what can I say! He was sitting on the table while his daddy fed him. :D

Some Food Pic

There's Nasi Lemak that I'd made for last Sunday brunch. Was not too bad, and quick. Make some tumeric chicken wings (stuck it in the oven...:D)and had some sambal in the freezer so fried some anchovies to go with that. The rest is self-explanatory....


Nasi Lemak 

This is Alaskan King Crab Fried Rice. Can't see the rice coz it's at the bottom of this wonderful, simply marvelous tasting Stir-fried Crab!! It's really really goooddd.... you've got to be there to really enjoy this. Ethan LOVES this!! No kidding! Errmmm...I didn't make this! Hehehehe... My friend did! Hehehe... We were at his place over the weekend (for the Watermelon Festival in Oklahoma) and he made us dinner. There were other dishes but this is DA BOMB!! Hehehhe... If there were Smell-A-Vision!!


Alaskan King Crab Fried Rice! YUMMY 


This is a test of my new Indoor Grill!! DANG! How did I manage to live WITHOUT it before?!?!?!? Heheheh... Yah, made this up (from fridge leftovers)for a Saturday lunch. Didn't know what to make so took some stuff and slap it on the grill! And it really look great! Thanks to the grill marks on the panini!! It really looked pro! hehehehe... Oh yah, I even grilled the chicken I used in the panini, hey, no many cleanups! The Indoor Grill(got the cheapo one coz I wanted to check it out!)works great with Korean Bulgolgi (had done that 3 times already! it's that great especially when you are too lazy to cook a "real" sit-down dishes kinda dinner). Just marinate everything you wanna slapped it on the grill for 15-30mins and it's done. All the meat already come pre-sliced (so that saved me tons of work!!!Heheheh...ok...I'm lazy too....hehehe)! Everyone loves the end result! So this grill is definitely a KEEPER!! For those who are interested in this grill, I got it from Sam's Club for $35+ and it's worth every penny. Not only it grills, you can flipped it to the other side and use it as a griddle too. Haven't got a chance to use that yet but soooooonnnnn..... hehehehe...Oh yah, it's from Wolfgang Puck series in Sam's Club.



Chicken, Basil and Tomato Panini 

And finally Ethan...Just some random pics of him. He's such a goofboy! Right now he's sssooooooooo active.....


Is it basball time? 


I've fallen and I kinda can't get up??!!! 

Grilled Herb Butter Lobster with Potato And Avocado Micro Greens 


Fillet Mignon With Risotto and Saute Mushroom in Red Wine Sauce 

I know I know, I said I was gonna post them up last week....ok...I procrastinated...:D But hey, it's here...
My husband enjoyed his birthday menu but he said that he was too stuffed for his dessert so we skipped that instead (which I was glad!! coz I didn't even eat the fillet mignon! Too stuffed!). We had some wine instead. It was a really really good bottle of icewine we had, I loved it so much that I went back to the store and got three more bottles! :D Nope, I'm NOT a alchoholic, just found a wine that we enjoyed. My friend was saying that I should just buy it by the case, well, it's kinda expensive to begin with so I wouldn't want to "invest" on a case. Oh yah, for those who are interested, the icewine's Jackson-Triggs. It's just MARVELOUS!!!


Sweet and Sour Prawns 

This was something I cooked the other day, Ed said that it was really really good, so I had to post it...hehehehe... Besides, it looked good on photo...soo...here it is. Meanwhile, I'm still in that "cooking" mood and have really good luck in everything I've done so far....Tonight, roast pork! hehehe...tune in...

Just Because.....

Doodlebops' Time! 

Ethan LOVES his Doodlebops!! Just look at his face, he's really into them, that and those creepy Teletubbies. They seriously creep me out. But he loves them;he would giggle, laugh and smile when he sees them. He's just a sweetheart! I guess I can live with "them" for now...*sigh*


Smiley 

My boy always has a smile on his face, he's a truly happy kid. Of course, that's with all his tantrums aside!! :D He's got a quick temper; quick to scream at mommy for taking away the thermometer that he has found and was playing with it and quick to hug and kiss mommy back for making mommy angry. LOL MAN! How can be angry with him......

Social Norms and Eye Candies

People, in general, would think it's ok(well, wouldn't say ok but wouldn't blink an eye if this happened)for men to second glance/look/oogle at pretty gals. Well, I was just wondering if it's "ok" if it's was vice versa. That is, for women to glance at good looking men, especially married women.

Personally I don't think there's anything wrong; morally nor socially. Looking is different from acting on it. And since I'm neither blind nor void of all human responses and emotions, I can conclude that looking at good looking opposite sex is an "ok" thing to do.:)

Scenerio:

I was driving to the mall, bringing my little boy (yes, married with a kid)there to play. At the traffic stop, I happened to glance into the car on my left!! WOOHOOO!!! Three hot guys (early twenties I think)who looked like they came out of a Abercrombie and Fitch catalog in a GMC Jimmy...... I mean, they are some serious eye candies! *drooling* ok...try to act nonchalant, don't want them to think that I'm some kind of pervert. Can't help but kept turning to the left for more glances.....*GRINZ* At this time, feeling a little light-headed and goofy!! Heheheh.....a little too school-girlish!! hehehe...

Now, I did feel a twinge of guilt, don't know why but I think it's that whole social norm thingy. I justified the whole deal in 2 seconds flat! There's nothing wrong in the staring and oogling, besides they deserve all that oogling just for being that HOT *GRINZ*, it's their given right and benefit just for being cuties! hehehe... I know I know...I've got a kid...blah blah blah....know what, there's nothing wrong in looking as long as it's just looking *wink*

Oh yah, back to those hotties. We kept stopping next to each other at almost every traffic lights. More glances for me...hehehe...(ok, I'm REALLY beginning to sound like a pervert now! heehhe). We ended up at the same mall!!! LOL!! Guess they were heading to the A&F there!! hehehe

Euphoria!!!

Got most things done on my checklist!! It was getting so long and I was simply procrastinating. Well, set my mind to, at the very least, check off some stuff...:D Soooo..it's been a good week so far....

Kitchen wise, things have been really good too!!! *surprise surprise* Everything that I've "experimented" turned out pretty good. Ed thought it was pretty much restaurant quality!! HA! He says that coz he can't cook and as long as it's spicy AND sweet, it's fantastic to him!! On the other hand, if I may say so myself, perhaps the food was better than usual! I think checking off that silly list helped...well, least setting me in a better mood!

Nevertheless I "strive" to outdo myself...*grinz* Tomorrow would be my "BIG" day!! It's Ed's B-day and I've decided to whip up a "classified-gourmet-STYLE" meal!!! Tune in for the next entry and you'd know what happened. It can turn out to be either good or really disasterous!! You never know. Somehow the quality level and result of my food coincide with the level of my stress which also is related to that DAMN list!!! *bimboitic look* *GRINZ*

So far I've taken some pics of the food I've done and I'll try to have it posted asap. Meanwhile the birthday dinner menu is, of so far, Grilled Loster tail with herb butter on a bed of potato, avocado and micro green salad with the basic vingerette and Beef Tenderlion with porcini mushroom risotto and drizzle with red wine sauce.And for dessert, a twist on a virgin pina colada, it's slightly grilled pineapple slices with brown sugar and cinnamon top with vanilla ice-cream and a little grated coconut and some mint to garnish. An elaborate Surf and Turf menu...

Ed doesn't know the menu yet, I simply told him that we are eating at home and there would be NO dinner reservations ANYWHERE! He was kinda dissapointed when I mentioned that coz he had his mind set on Fogo De Chao. Oh well...TOO BAD!!!! We can do that some other time...hmmm...I'm thinking of my birthday!! heheheheh...

Anyway, there's another surprise on its way and NO, SAN, I'm not pregnant!! It's about the blog...we'll see if it can be done, don't want to dissapoint anyone so am keeping my mouth SHUT! *GRINZ* Hmmm...probably should have more of that Felix Felicis *WINKZ* heehehehehhe.... meanwhile...tune in..soooonnn....

PS: Hey San, got HP yet???? Oh yah, btw, what's the deal with TGOT?? Errmmm...on that you can email me...hehehehe...I NEED DETAILS....Yah, my life is pretty much stagnant....

Harry Potter: R.A.B????????

Ok, most of this entry will be about the latest addition to the Harry Potter series (actually all of it...hehehehe)and directed mainly to San...hehehe....so San if you're reading this.....erm...feel free to email/comment....:D

Finished reading it on the same day it was released, just before midnight. Husband and son went to the store to pick up my reserved copy. Sooooooooooo sssssuuuhhhhhwwwweeeeeeetttttttt......*muakz* thanks guys.....ermm...I was fast asleep...hehehe... AANNNYYYWWWAAAYYYY.....GREAT BOOK!!!!! Can't wait for the last volume to this whole saga!! Two more years you think???? Heheheheh...

Sooooo...San...what you think, I don't want to ruin the book for you but I've to find someone to "discuss" this...hehehe.....sooorrryyy but I think I've to spoil it for you...*GRINZ* I spent some time thinking what R.A.B would stand for???? San, do you think it might be Regulus A Black, Sirius' deceased younger Death Eater brother??? I thought it might be him coz Rowling mentioned him a few more times than she did in any other books. Anyway just my 2 cents' worth...what you think?????? Again sorry if I ruined it for you but, hey, you'd reach that point of the book anyway...:D

PS :For anyone who wants to comment on that...feel free....


Gonna to read it once more...just in case..:D

WEEKEND!!! HOORAYYY!!!!

happiness....... 

Me the point and shoot photographer and Ethan in the middle of unadulterated happiness! It's sheer joy watching him, in all childhood innocence, I wish he could remember this moment in his life and look back on it as wonderful memories. Knowing that his daddy and mommy love him always....
*sigh* He's really growing soo fast......



cutie 

My little boy the cutie, taken during our 4th of July roadtrip. He'd a great time and was totally zonked as we drove back home. LOVELEY!!!! 3.5hrs of quiet time for mommy and daddy in the car....hehehe...he was fast asleep! WOOHOOOOOO!!!!!

Two more days to Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince ! Can't wait for Sat to come, I'll get me book and read throughout the night....yup, it's gonna be all-nighter! I know, it's too "juvenile" for me to be reading this but I need "CLOSURE" in my life!! Besides, I can pass all the books to my little boy and let him enjoy all the collection..(I know, it's a lame excuse...hehe)

San, you got your book yet??? :D

4th of July Fireworks!

Ok, undoubtedly the best seats to the 4th of July fireworks would be at the front lawn on my house! I know, sounds like I'm bragging but it's true...you can see it for yourself..DA BEST!


 

Too bad by the time the fireworks started my little boy was already fast asleep. Oh well, there's always next year..;)

KILLER BEES!

KILLER BEES!!!!! 

Like what I said, KILLER BEES!!!! These bees were here on my tree in my back yard!! Imagine my horror, terror, fear...(you get the idea)of those horrible horrible horrible creatures! No, they are not the custy bumble bees(like moi...:D) nor the honey bees, they are the fear inducing Africanized Bees which had been terrorising our area for a while now (EVERY SUMMER!! only this time, it's in MY YARD!). Anyway, YICKS, they went away after two days of being there, buzzing and scaring me to death! They left one morning with no trace of what so ever of them ever being there...*GULP* Check the whole entire exterior of the house, just to make sure they are not buzzing around....*relief* they are not! Hope I will NEVER EVER see them AGAIN!!!!! *background knife-swishing sound from Pyscho*

Recollection

I was editing some baby videos I had taken previously when Ethan was around three months or so and realise that my baby boy has grown sooooo muuuccchhhh....yup...it's quite incredible!

Yesterday was a really terrible terrible day for me....I was in a real foul mood and the boy was not helping much either by not napping nor eating his lunch. I was cranky, moody and tired(I'm always tired!!!!)!! And to make matters worse, my soya bean pudding turn out UNSUCCESSFUL!!! *sigh* just another day! My only consolation is that my ordeal FINALLY ENDED!!!

Back to the video editing. I can't believe that my boy is so different from those pictures taken when he's at three months!! WOW!!! I guess what my friend said is true; "when you're constantly with him day in and day out, you wouldn't notice the difference but for someone who sees him occasionally, he's really quite different"


Year 2004


Christmas 2004


Year 2005

Notice the difference!?!?! WOW!! Each day is filled with something new and I'm always amazed at what he can learn and what he had learnt. Sometimes when you least expect it, he does something amazing!! There's no words to describe these moments, just cherish them AND have a video cam ready at all times!! ;)

Snaps and Snails and Puppy-dogs' Tails???

I'm on discount!

I don't know if there's any truth to this saying

"What are little boys made of, made of?
What are little boys made of?
“Snaps and snails, and puppy-dogs’ tails;
And that’s what little boys are made of.”"

Well, I don't know what Snaps are and as for snails...in what context are we referring to and as for puppy-dogs' tails......hmmm...

All I know is this...
My little boy is


yah...just woke up..*grins*

a dirt and lint eater. he would search for the smallest piece of dirt unseen (other than at microscopic level)by the naked eye, picks it up and proceed to put it in mouth!

also a bug eater! YES, I say, BUG, he would pick dead/live bugs and puts them into his mouth

grass, sand, mud, soil, leave eater. You have to put as many eyes(as you can possibily have; did I mention that mothers grow extra eyes)on him at ALL times!

a little silly when he sees water. It's a MUST to get himself soaking wet just from washing his hands

a "button-pusher" and wires/cables chewer. He has a NEED to push EVERY SINGLE BUTTONS he sees, that includes, remotes, phones, calculators, etc and chomp at every wires, cables, mouse etc....(as long as they are not connected and with no exposed metal bits, I usually let it slide...BAD MOMMY!)


Have a foot...

NOISY!!!!! and NOSY/curious!!!! When you're talking, he needs to be louder than you are, and he needs to check every single person out in the mall!!!

"HANDSY". New word! Invented through my boy. He HAS to touch and fiddle everything!!! *check the previous entry on "when the police came to my house" and you'll see what I mean*

Cheeky. Each time he does any of the above and gets caught, he gives you this cheeky, silly, goofy grin like he knows he's not supposed to do it but he does it anyway, knowing well he would get away with it! *sigh*


YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tough. He would fall, picks himself up, brush it off and continue with what he was doing before; amidst of bruised eyes and knees. He would get a little hug for assurance and go on with life with new confidence!!

Affectionate. He kisses the dog when he sees him and even chases him around the house JUST so to kiss him (we're still working on those kisses, when and how to kiss, he tends to kiss with his mouth open and chasing the dog to kiss is not working out for the dog!!!). He kisses his mommy and daddy in the morning, I guess it's his way of saying "morning, I love you" and before he goes to bed...(still working on those open-mouth kisses). He would frequently come up to you for a hug (yes, to us and the dog too! Dog still hating it!!). He would snuggle in with us for naps and enjoys sleeping on his daddy's chest.

Sweet He would pet the dog(a little harder than he appreciates but still....), he still has his little "baby" innocence ....

and MOST OF ALL,

A HAPPY BOY He laughs at the little things in life; when a butterfly lands on his hand, when the dog licks his face, when he sneezes....he lives life to the fullest and does it with a smile that would melt your heart!!!

And that's my little boy...

So he may eat an occasional bug every now and then and is super active ALL THE TIME!
Bottom line, he's exhausting to look after but he's worth everything and every box of cheerios (private joke!) :D


...I didn't do it....

Queen Amidala??????

Thought I would have some relaxing time and read some blogs. Found a Star Wars' Quiz on one of the blogs I was reading and took it just for the fun of it. It's some sort of character quiz and with all the Star Wars hype, thought it might be interesting.

Haven't got a chance to watch the latest Star Wars addition, have to wait till it comes out on DVD (guess it's gonna be a while....*sigh*). And here's the result of my little "test"...........Queen Armidala!! hehehe..... Never would have thought...LOL

The day the police came to my house....

Yup, today I've join the ranks of all mothers out there. Those who had gone through it will definitely understand my exasperation and embarrassment.

First I need to say that I'm humbled and am ever so sorry to have ever thought that it would be the parents' fault that this happened! I never thought it would happened to me and, BOOM, it did!

Now you would ask, what happened...well....here goes....

Either my son's a genius or is my dumb luck! I was busy today searching for some important documents so I left my extremely ACTIVE child to scamper about the home office while I search through some drawers. He usually plays around with the toys that are already there and every now and then, he would reach for the cordless phone. This time I had the phone right next to me....or so I thought. My little genius had crept next to me and little did I know had taken the phone and started pressing some numbers. In my sole determination in finding those darn documents, I didn't notice what he was doing till I heard the phone ring. I then saw him fiddling around with some buttons and hurried to pick up the phone in case he accidentally hung it up. Well, I picked up the phone but there was no one on the other line so I hung up. Then it rang again, picked it up, still no one on the other line. Ok....I'm beginning to think that my little rascal might have dial some repeat line or something so that it just kept ringing each time the line hung up.

Now ten minutes later, there's some knocking on my front door(I've disabled the doorbell for obvious reasons). I went and see who was it....(I don't often get unexpected visitors) and to my surprise and SHOCK, it was a police officer!!!! OOookkkkkk......so I opened the door and asked if I could help him. He was real nice, he asked if everything was ok(code word for "are you in any trouble, and is your life being threatened in any ways, if so, blink your eyes"). I told him everything was great and from my look, I guessed he probably thought he got the wrong house. Anyway, he told me that someone from THIS house had dialed 911, hung up and when the operator tried calling back, the line was busy!!! OH MY GOD!!!!! I then told him my story and apologized so profusely that he was positively amused by my state of anxiety. He said everything is ok, got my name and DOB so that he can write up this report and was smiling and chalked up to another household with parents who can't keep an eye on their kids.

Ok....by this time I was truly embarassed. I shut the door behind me and was totally humbled. NOW I understand. When I hear a stories about kids who play with phones and had called the police department, and hence wasted the city's resources by having officers coming round their houses just because those parents can't keep an eye on their kids. *Sigh* I really really truly understand now....It's no fault of the parents, sometimes things happened and every so often it happens to you. So before you start judging another, always remember, one day, it might just happen to you....

The only thing is I can't figure out how in the world did a 13 month old boy figured out 911?????? I mean, it's not as if those numbers are next to each other?!?!And to get 911?!?!?!? Okkk...I'm not saying that it's impossible...but COME ON!!! what are the possibilities?? And no, 911 is not on our speed dial, just so we can prevent this kind of incident *SIGH*. Oh well...lesson to this, DON"T EVER EVER LET MY CHILD GET NEAR ANY PHONES OF ANY SORT!!!! Oh yah...here's my little goofball!


"Yah, I'm goofy...hehehehe"

USA????

Thought it might be interesting....

Saw this product while in Thailand. Ermmm..USA?? Actually it's Thai "alphabet" and it reads "Breeze". Yes, "Breeze", I'm not kidding. It's a laundry detergent and was wondering why would anyone name a laundry detergent "USA". Well, found out that it isn't English. Well, that figures... hehehehe... still it's interesting. Says a lot about my ignorance! Oh well....should have known, I was in Thailand..hehehe...

Interesting huh?

...not since the Pan Am days....

Thought this was interesting. Was in Koh Samui and I think it was Bangkok Airways but check it out!! There's no "bridge" connecting the plane to the gate, they put you in a bus and send you out to the runway to hop on the plane!! INTERESTING experience, haven't done that since I was a little kid myself, sure brought back memories. By the way, the whole Koh Samui airport IS interesting. The airport's open as in open air, as in there's no buildings, it's all little shelter huts here and there acting as terminals, checkpoints and lounges, every the laidback! Now, that's what you call COOL!!! hehehehe... You can even see the planes landing right in right of your eyes, and I'm not exergerating. I wished I had some pics to prove but thing is, the pics didn't turn out good. It was taken at night and the plane was really too fast to be capture by my little point and shoot camera. Too bad...probably next time..;)

My Koh Samui Vacation

Koh Samui, my husband's birth place. It's so beautiful and peaceful, so far still considered untouched by ugly tourism and concrete forests. The weather there was brutal; real hot and humid. The food there; overly spicy. But you know what, it's overall a worthwhile treat, just look at the pictures!

Lunching by the beach

We had lunch at this by-the-beach restaurant, talk about the view...WOW!!
So go again, people, drool and envy me!! :D

Back to WORK!

Finally back home after 3.5 weeks of hustle and bustle of vacation, if you even call that a vacation. Still suffering from the jet lag but not as much as my little boy who, right now, not only suffers from jet lag but also suffers from the lack of 100% attention that has now turned him from an independent toddler to a complete pitiful clingy little baby.....*sigh* It's so sad yet so frustrating at the same time. I hope and PRAY that time would change him back into that independent dare devil who got left behind home when we left for our vacation!
Meanwhile, need to get back into this time zone and blog further...ciao Of course, pics included!

Countdown!

"I have something to say........" 

Before the weekend starts, I better start to get serious and really list down all the last minute stuff that we need to do! It's not even funny anymore...there's so much to be done before we leave for our vacation back home. On top of that, we are supposed to go to the Thai New Year celebration tomorrow at this temple. I'm not sure if we can even make it, thought it would be cool to see how the DFW Thai community celebrates Thai New Year. Errmmm....might be a tad stupid sounding here, but never did occur to me that Thai has a New Year too!! *DOH*

Anyway, don't think we can make it, besides, like I've said, we have one hundred and one things to do AND prepare before we leave on Thursday! *GULP* I can't believe we would be going back already.

Husband: Are you excited to go back?
Me: Can't really think about it.
Husband: Why?
Me: No why, when you have about 1 million things to do and only you to do it plus having to take care of a hyper-active kid, it's tough to think about the trip
Husband: Okkkkk...what you want me to do then
Me: STOP ASKING ME STUPID QUESTIONS AND MAKE SURE YOU CALL THE PED!!!

Husband decides to change topic......

Husband: So you like the camera pouch?
Me: It sucks, doesn't even hold the camera in place...better return it and get another one...*sigh* NOW we have ANOTHER thing to do on the list, RETURN THAT POUCH!!! *PULLING HAIR*

Ok...I'm in a real "touchy" mood lately...I think it's all the stress of going back home. Plus the fact that I'm a little OBSESSIVE with every little detail doesn't help...I really need to chill and relax a little!!! Hopefully the trip will help..HA!

Anyway, may the truth be said, I'm happy to be going back home for some time off and to let everyone see my little boy in person. YES person, he's a real personailty!!! And to celebrate his first B-day back home! ANOTHER STRESS!!! ARRGHHHH.....ok...I think I over think too much!! say to myself....RELAX!!!

I've to learn to chill and also block out hurtful remarks that I WILL BE SURE TO ENCOUNTER when I get back home. Back home, a place where Miss Eternal Aneroxia competition is always on....GREAT! My only defense mechanism, ok, I've none. I'll just have to use my super powers to block out all those tactless, meant-well-but-underlay-with-self-consolating-narcissitic, hurtful, bitchy, smirking, mean remarks from hypocrites! Curse of the Bumblebee, anyone who mentions weight or EVEN think about saying something about it to me shall be "condemn" with gaining 10X my weight *wicked grin*

Ok...I admit, I've some weight issues...but then I've a baby not too long ago (alright....almost a year ago..but so WHAT!! :p). But I've been good lately, exercising and what not...hey, it's tough, tough coz I don't have time! Soon I'll run out of excuses...hehehe...anyway, that's my story/excuse and I'm sticking to it! :p And that's that! Period! *grabs another donut* NOT!!! LOL

Happy Weekend to ALL!!:D

Spring Time 

They MADE ME EAT!!!!

Pitiful 

Yes, Ethan ate, we made him eat, again, no, we didn't force feed him. We just made sure he had something in his tummy. He wanted to play and chase the dog but we sat him down in his high chair, belted him and put his veges and chicken and let him take his "time" to eat till he was done. It was a loooonnnggggg meal but we survived (us, as in my husband and I!!!) As for Ethan, that was what happened thereafter. He's truly one sad kid, can't sit for too long....It's seriously pitiful!

Oh yah....I'm back to the virtual world after 5 days of NO INTERNET CONNECTION!!! Yes, we were back AGAIN! Long story...as usual! Ok...let's see...a week and a half till we are back home!! Can't wait!

Food Strike!

 

"Mommy, I ain't eating anything!! Try all you want! There's no way anything is getting into this mouth!!"

Yup, that's the news of the weekend. My kid's on a some sort of a food strike! Considering how much I love to eat, I wonder where he gets it from...

He've decided that he no longer needs any more food and minimal milk. And it's just a waste of time and effort to eat...err...unless it's Cheerios! I GIVE UP!!! Each time I try to feed him something, he would start swinging his hands in the attempts of knocking the spoon, screaming, whinning and crying all at the same time(when you think about it, he's pretty good about the multi-tasking thing!!). Not only that, he would also clamp his mouth shut! Ok....I know I'm no Iron Chef..but hey.....you can't screw up baby food!!!

In any case, I've given up hope of feeding him his usual food and would just give him his milk and cheerios. I figure that if he's hungry, he'd eat again....*PRAY* And NO! I'm not abusing my child, it's just that he doesn't want to eat and force feeding him WOULD be abusing him. On the bright side, he's still eating Cheerios!!!

Meanwhile, I'll be praying that he will get hungry soon and get his appetite back.....poor baby! Someone told me that he might be teething which might have cause his loss of appetite....err....does it cause temper tantrums too????

Tomorrow is another llllloooonnnnngggg dayyyyyyyy.....*sigh*
