Being a working Mum is tough. I even read that it's redundant. I completely agree. You're left little time to spend to your family so you tend to grab every little opportunity to spend quality time with them. Lately, for some reason I spend less time with The Tatapilla. Sometimes, I feel guilty because I am there but not actually being there. I'm occupied. Tonight, I have come to realise that I can do better than what I am currently doing. I have to devote more time with him. Teach him new things. We have noticed that his development...

I Asked For It
The Tatapilla has been continously sleeping with us in our bed for almost 6 months now especially when the cold season kicked in. I am not in a hurry to let him sleep on his own in his own room yet. I have slept with my parents when I was growing up and it didn't do me any harm. I read this one book of SEP (Breathing Room) where one says, why is it that we expect the most small and vulnerable human being to be alone while we adults seek comfort and warmth with our partner at night (or something like that). I quite adapt it also. I don't really...

Simple Pleasures
The shops have new sets of rides and the best tester in town is.. drum roll please... The Tatapilla. Yes, I believe, he has tried every new rides at the shops. And he can spot toys vending machine a mile away. :) Today, he did test the new one (toy, that is not for diet pill side effects)- so far since we went to that shop last time. He also tried the ball vending machine. It only accepts 1$ and we didn't have any, just 50c so I have to asked...
Booked
Yes, we have booked us seats in this year's The Wiggles concert in Brisbane. Actually, the booking was made late so there's no front seats left - leave it to my planning mojo which is nada. We can't see any hype in The Tatapilla's outlook yet I'm sure when it's drawing near, he will be. Besides, for him The Wiggles are like one a day vitamins, keep him grovy and happy. It can also be his minder. *****It's All About What's In Down Under | Permanence...

I Know Santa Claus
Last Christmas, The Tatapilla is not really aware who santa is. When I gave him the loots and told him that they are from Santa, he said Santa is me. But now he knows who he is - exposure from Santa's photos and from other kids. The other night, he told me that Santa give gifts to good boys and he's not being bad so he'll get gifts from Santa. I told him that we're going to write to Santa Claus to tell him what he wants fro Christmas. He said, he just wants Lellow gifts. I have some ideas on how to make The Tatapilla's Christmas exciting....
At Friend’s Birthday
The Tatapilla was invited to a birthday party by one of his friends in daycare. It was in Hungry Jacks. Well, aside from the fact that it’s a junk food shop for kids (which The Tatapilla knows really well), there was also a playground that they can use. Kids played for a bit after the celebrant opens her presents. Lunch was served a little bit late and The Tatapilla asked me, Mum are we not going to have lunch? Lol. Talking of subtleties. ...
Biking at the Park
The Tatapilla learned to ride a big bike more than 6 months ago but we haven’t really allowed him to ride in public places all on his own. He owns a bike that has handle on it, that’s what he used when we go to the park so at least I can hang on to him. Last Sunday was the first when we have a breathing room and Mcj not busy (not with technology jobs but just working around the place). It wasn’t cold so we went to feed the ducks and The Tatapilla...

MM - Hair Styles
The Tatapilla was born with thick mane then it was shed off as he aged. He was literally bald until I decided to shaved off his head as I believe that the hair grow thick when shaved. So far I have shaved his head about 4 or 5 times.If my memory serves me right, he had his first hair cut in this photo.This is close to what his hair now. This is is recent photos. His hair is just in dis-array but he doesn't want me to cut his hair. I might trim it...

I can't remember if I have photos of The Tatapilla jumping and I'm just lazy to browse around my archive. These are latest photos taken when we went to the park to feed the ducks, bike around and just so all sorts of silly stuff. The Tatapilla was jumpring in these photos to keep in-synch with his Dad.*****It's All About What's In Down Under Permanence in Change I Am A Shoeaholic A Juggling Act Healthy Living The Life of a Tatapilla What's...
