ChildProofing Your Home

At home, we don’t have a proper medicine cabinet.  The medicines are sorted and placed in plastic containers while the bottled vitamins are placed near the dining area for quick access.

With our active toddler getting more and more curious of her surroundings, it is a good idea to finally have a medicine storage that our child won’t be able to reach.   Anyway, there’s not a lot of pills or tablets that we should be keeping save for some paracetamol and vitamins.  No maintenance medicine, diet pills or Fenphedra to safeguard from our kid.

A Budding Techie

My daughter, at 2 1/2 years old, already knows how to use the computer’s mouse.  I know it’s not really something to be ‘brag’ about because I would rather see her enjoy scribbling letters or doodling rather than facing the computer but it can’t be helped.  There’s not a day that we don’t have at least one of the computers switched on at home.

Her fascination for computers doesn’t end there.  She knows how to operate the camera function of our cellular phones, too.  She even says, “1, 2, 3, Smile!” before pressing the button.  Hmm, I need to find ways to divert her attention to more child-friendly activities.

Computer Reformat

With majority of my computer file transfers done, I’m thinking of doing a reformat of my old and trusty notebook computer.  I haven’t done one ever because I’ve always relied on my techie friends to do it for me. Hee.  But this time, I’m feeling a bit gutsy and just might do the whole hard drive reformatting thing myself.  I’m crossing my toes that it works out well.

Sparkling Beauties

We almost always pass by the jewelry store in the nearby mall.  I have to say that in those numerous times, I have always been tempted to go in to have a look-see but is hesitant for fear of giving in to the lure of those sparkling beauties.  Well, what I will be keen to check out will not be for me but for my mom and sister as gifts for Christmas.  Maybe one day soon, I will ask my husband to accompany me and ask him to be prepared to pull me out of the store once he sees that I’m already shopping for myself! Ha!  At any rate, we are assured that the store only sells certified diamonds.

Learning and Play

I’m thinking of new play and learning activities for my 2 1/2 year old daughter.  She’s bored with her toys and she just scans her books lately so I thought that it is time to introduce something new to her.  My options are clay and paint, toy kitchen set or a play piano.  I’m sure she would love them all.  And she’ll be uber excited to see a new toy we’ll decide to get this weekend!

Hunger Pangs

I’m 22 weeks on the way and I’m eating like a pig.  No kidding.  I get hungry every 2-3 hrs!  It wasn’t like this during my first pregnancy.  That’s why during weekends, I hoard lots of pastries and fruits.  Or, I make an effort to prepare or bake something for quick snacks.  It’s hard when I wake up with my tummy making really loud growling noise.  Maybe my little boy is just trying to tell me that I need to eat for two.  Hopefully, this won’t go on after I give birth.  Otherwise, a good and safe appetite suppressant will be on my shopping list.
