Reminiscing Motherhood Mondays – K at 1 and a half

August 13, 2012 · By ·

I glanced across the hall in my mom’s house and I see this photo looking back at me.

I think this physical reminder of my brother as a child reminds them that time is indeed fleeting, how it all felt like yesterday holding him in their arms and how that memory of that moment has been permanently engraved in their hearts.

I now understand how that feels, ever since I became a parent

A couple of months before, I was devastated when I realized that I was not able to retrieve the old photos from a hard drive that I had of K since he was born. However I am very thankful for this space that I have been keeping online and grateful that I have some photos posted on this blog since he was a couple of months old.

I was going through some old posts in this blog and to my horror, some of the old videos that I took of K were lost from the post. I did not want to have to experience the hassle of re-attaching the videos to the old posts, so I decided to do this for myself; start a meme on this blog to reminisce the old videos that I have of K.

I went through the old videos and the old posts and I teared over the time that have been lost.

What’s with these emotions that come along with motherhood? I used to pride myself for not shedding tears so easily, but now, just by reading and watching the old videos, tears are falling so freely.

This video was taken in September 2008, one of the earliest video that I have of K as a baby. This video was taken when my extended family was celebrating my birthday, but as the little boy loves celebrating birthdays and blowing the candle on the cake, he had his ‘birthday’ song sang to him too.

@ 4 years, 11 months and 19 days

March 4, 2012 · By ·

Showing his new dance styles

At 4 years, 11 months and 19 days, he tends to be a tad bit boisterous, has a slapstick-type of humour and fidgets non-stop when he is awake.

And he loves to dance and sing to his own self-composed songs. Which can be rather entertaining to see him prance around the house and sing at the top of his voice, alot.

Kyle's Dance Styles

He spends most alternate days in the week co-sleeping with us these days :( Somehow on the onset of turning 4 years old, he decided that sleeping with his parents in the same room, is more fun then sleeping by himself in his own room.

This is just one of the conversations we had recently, before bedtime in my room.

Kyle ; You know, I like to be with you and daddy, that's why I like to sleep in your room. Do you know that I think of you when I am sleeping in my room at night?

Mom : Why do you need to think of me when I am just next door?

Kyle : Because I miss you. You never think of me?

Mom : Nope, when I sleep, I sleep soundly, I don't think of anyone of anything.

Kyle : How can you not think of me, when I think about you!

Mom : You are not suppose to be awake anyway at night, so what are you doing awake and thinking of me?

Kyle : You never think of me when I am not in the room with you. I am very sad.

So there is this softie sentimental side of him. Which I tend to experience a little too much of, when he clings to my left arm when he sleeps with dh and I in our room…

Another first

December 12, 2011 · By ·

Time is passing unbelievably fast. We are into the last 3 weeks of the school holidays and last weeks of 2011. I can hardly believe that we are going into 2012 in less than 3 weeks, and Kyle will be going into K1.

If I had a choice, I wish that my child don't grow up so fast. He is slowly losing his cherubic babyish looks, he lost his baby-smells many months back and is too quickly growing into an often sweaty and not so nice-smelling mischievous boy :( 

He still has his endearing personality, when I told him that I hope that he will not grow up so quickly, he said; 

"Mommy, I tell you something"

"I tell you what. I grow taller but I don't grow older ok, I will still be 4 years old for my next birthday…"

Aww…actually I would prefer that he doesn't grow taller or older, and will always remain my little baby boy.

I think he still can't wait to grow up quickly. He is always asking when he will be able to sit all the rides at Universal Studios, grow taller and stronger so he can hit golf balls much further.

We brought him to the driving range for the first time recently, and he is really enjoying the game and turning out to be quite a natural at the sport. I think his interest for golf plays a huge role in his quick progress in learning how to play golf.

After all of 90 balls and a little blister on his finger (after hitting too many balls and gripping the club a little too hard), he is looking all sweaty, rosy-cheeked and happy from his first experience at the range.
