A Different Kind of Christmas

Sister C was telling me how different this year's Christmas is. Maybe because a lot of things happened this year and that most of them were beyond our control. Or maybe, time just took us by surprise!

Most of our friends are not in Singapore. Some permanently, some on vacation. We wouldn't be spending Christmas Eve at friend B's place because she's in New Zealand. We will be spending it at home with family. My cousin R and her hubby will be coming here from the US. It has been so long since I spent Christmas with her. I remember one Christmas when we were still kids (let me stress the word KIDS), we presented a dance to our lolos and lolas. That was hilarious! But, fond memory of one of my early Christmases.

Side note : Bebi A is so cute whenever I tell her that I am putting a Christmas present for her at our Christmas tree. She thinks that all the presents are from me and says "Thank you, Mommy!" One day I left her Ninong D's present beside her pillow so that she will see it when she wakes up, Ate A told me that when Bebi A saw it, she shouted "Thank you, Mommy" as she run to the living room.

Nyamy Nyamy

Our Bebe A is at the stage of being cheeky and endearing.  She can speak so many words now, some clear, some not.  Hehehe.  She likes to sing as well.  She actually has a good tone.  One of the songs that she likes is the one from Wiggles --- Fruit Salad.  Her version though is : Mom : Fruit Salad Bebe A :  Nyamy Nyamy (Yummy Yummy)

Busy

Bebi A : Daddy, can you make me an airplane? Daddy : Later Ava, I am busy Bebi A : You always say you're busy, you're hurting my feelings... She then put her face down on the sofa. Drama queen!

Confession

Being a Mom.  Sometimes I feel as I am not cut out for it. Too much work.  Too much responsibility.  Too much worry. Worry that Ate T is taking the bus today.  Ate A's tooth is still in there and the new one has already come out.  Baby A has colds and is screaming and wants to cuddle. Sometimes it leaves me breathless. But When I pick up Ate T from our meeting place, I feel so proud of her because she has become independent and can commute.  Ate A's tenacity in wiggling her tooth and she's now toothless, doesn't need to go to the dentist to have it removed.  And, Baby A despite her colds still has appetite and it just feels good to hug her. God has showered me with so much love for giving me 3 wonderful girls.  It feels good being a mommy. Happy Mother's Day to all you wonderful Mommies!
