Shawn Weaning Process

Yap.. Already been breast feed Shawn for 8 months and he has started his solid, so doesn't seems really interested with EBM(express breast milk) already. So, decided to wean him slowly..

I started introduce Formula to Shawn and no problem at all, he just "sapu" everything that me & my mum in law gave. So now slowly he is changing his diet now... Morning Formula, lunch porridge and evening EBM; at night still direct feed but more for comforting only. Really amazing, my body also processing milk lesser compare with previous and I only pump once during my working hour.

Well, still proud to myself for succesfully breast feed my baby for more than 6 months and I can see that he is stronger and healthier than his 2 brothers. I really wish I can feed him longer but really can not tahan him keep biting me. Yap..got teeth already; 2 at his lower gum..aishee, 2 teeth already so fierce can not imagine he got more than that. ;D

See how the weaning process goes, hopefully he can finish the stocks in the fridge and will be fully take formula. But at night, no choice lah.. have to let him suck for comfort but will try to find a way to cut that as well..

Samuel 1st Report Card

Today took half day leave just to attended Samuel's school Parent and Teacher meeting. Went there with hubby and waited for almost an hour only our turn. First come first serve basis...

Frankly speaking, I do not put very high hope for a very good result from Samuel. No tuition and no pushing at home, just finish his daily home work given and also done some spelling, ejaan and what so ever will do. Some more what to expect a working mother can spend a few hour only each night just enough to complete his home work.

Got his report card, he got position 24/40 in his class, 189/283 for the whole std one. Well, position not important but lets look at his marks scored. Hmmm.. Only BM and Math averagely got 52.50% and 59%; the rest is above 85%.

Teacher's comment..Result so so, need to study harder (in chinese comment). Behavior in school..like to talk during classes on, ignore teacher's warning. And likes to make complaint to teacher for some classmate disturbed him but the teacher said he is actually the one who disturbed the classmate and so when the classmate responded the same way to him, he starts to complaint.

Well, not much lecture from me. I just told him what the teacher commented and ask him to be more concentrate in class.

Don't really expect Samuel will score all 100%'s in school which I know some kids do but I guess not my son. See how his progress for the second half year, if still no sign of improvement, might only consider sent him for tuition leh....

Constipation

Aiyaa... Already 4 days darling Shawn not poo-poo. So, decided to give "Fleet Anima" (not sure the word is right??)yesterday evening. Just apply some lotion on the tube and insert then press. Right less than a minute, his face turn red and start ummm... Wow, that's fast !!

Maybe due to darling son just started solid and causes him not having his "big business" daily. Must give him more water and some diluted juices to help him to digest better so that he can run his routine normally...

Porridge Crisis

I have been so “geram” (Frustrated) today that I found out my mum in law did not cook my darling son porridge with the ingredient I have prepared for her.

About a month ago, I grain the rice and ikan bilis into powder just the sake of ease her for cooking the porridge. After a few feeding, she commented that the rice powder which I DIY is not fine enough where she said she can get the grain rice powder is as fine as flour; but that still have to wait for someone to go back to Ipoh and get it. She also commented that the ikan bilis very fishy, not fresh lah and so on..Ipoh ikan bilis is better lah..blah, blah, blah.. I even don’t know how she cook which I thought she knows, she said the result of putting the ikan bilis powder into the porridge are totally tasteless. I think she might have use the wrong method of cooking the porridge. So, she adds soy sauce to my son’s porridge which I don’t think is good for my 7 mths old son.

Anyway, I thought she might just still cook with what I have prepare but than today I found out that she actually cook the normal rice (not my DIY product) and add with water not even the ikan bilis powder. So, I nicely ask her why don’t she just add in the ikan bilis and cook together with the rice in the slow cooker, the result will be nice and sweet then no need to put soy sauce, but she just kept quite..

I look for my DIY product in the kitchen but then totally lost. So gerammmmm…. Totally no idea how to handle this situation. Maybe from now on, I will just cook my own porridge to my darling son on Saturday and Sunday only, then rest of the day let her cook what she want. Don’t care whether she likes it or not..;(

Walker

My Darling son started his walker and for the past one week he has been cruising around the house. The first 3 days, he just sited in the walker and don’t know how to jam with his new toy. With his elder brothers’ help to pushed him around; on the following days he knows how to make full use of it.

He started to enjoy a lot and realized that this thing can actually bring him where he wants to go. He even started to complaint when the grandma puts him back to his bouncing net.

Mum in law will soon tie his walker to the sofa, so that he will not go further and touches any dangerous item or not accidentally pump into the little “house” where my parent in law use to pray..”earth grandpa”..Don’t know why most children like to play with it and mess around the deco in that little space..I guess that’s the level they can reach easily ye…

Can still remember one of my friend darling girl, move everything out from there and she actually sat in there for fun. My friend quickly carries her out and keeps apologies. Haha.. Can imagine that and that’s really make me laugh the whole day..
