One of my New Year resolutions is
to blog more often. 26 days into 2015, you can safely say that resolution won’t be
happening :p The obvious culprit is of course WORK. I’m also quite busy
preparing for our upcoming family trip in February (Inshaallah) so whatever
free time I have, would be spent online Googling for information and planning
cute travel outfits for the girls (Yes, I have skewed priorities but who
cares???)
To tell you the truth 2015, have
been shaping out to be quite challenging in many areas, one being that all 3
babies have started kindergarten. I know some people don’t think that it is a
big deal and that it does not have much impact to our family schedule seeing
that the munchkins have been going to daycare since they were 2 months old. All
I can say is, there’s a HUGE difference in preparing them to go to kindy and
just packing their clothes and diapers for daycare.
The twins are not exactly ecstatic
about their new school as just yet, taking into account their anti-social personality.
I guess they’re still in the “getting used to new school/teacher mode”. They
can be a bit resistant in the morning and every little thing can start a
tantrum. Not a way Lan and I would like to start our day.
But as always, we will persevere
and inshaallah it will get better… We do keep in mind that my girls are
technically just three year old expected to go through a four year old schedule,
but we saw more benefit for them to start school early based on our experience
with Ryan.
I know people find the pre-school
age (4-6) as an “easy phase” as compared to baby-toddler-teenager stage, to me
I find it just as challenging because this is the time where the fundamentals
really start setting in. Manners, spiritual, mental and emotional development
starts now. As parents you would want for things to go as smoothly as they
could for their children, especially when you know your child has to face extra
challenges in some department as compared to other children.
I don’t seek understanding
especially from the harsh group of people who don’t understand the things that
I have to go through every day. I know everyone have their own problems but
some people tend to think (and show) that their issues is just way more important
and bigger than others, and I won’t deny it, it annoys me. But whateverla, I’m
just thankful for family and friends who actually tries
to understand and respect my situation and help make my life easier :)
They are the rare chocolate chip
in an otherwise yucky oatmeal cookie. Haha the food analogy is making me crave
for a yummy and chewy choc chip cookie.
Have a good week everyone….
