Pineapple Express

In all honesty, I didn't think my husband could pull it off; making the pineapple costume for Saee's fancy dress activity day in school. My firm belief in my husband was shaken yesterday when not only did he doggedly pursue making that pineapple costume, but he did a fantastic job of it! Love you for this hubby!



This morning, my pretty little pineapple went to school and her costume was appreciated not only by her teacher, but her school Principal as well. Her Principal gave her a toffee, which was a matter of great pride for my little munchkin. :-) Thank you, thank you, thank you hubby!


As for my other munchkin, she seems to have a mind of her own. For days together she follows a routine. Then one day she decides, "Hell no! Mom is having a relaxed day! This schedule isn't working for me one bit,  uh uh!" But of course, there will be no set routine till a minimum of three months have passed. That was how much time Saee took to regularize. Sayalee of course, may take longer or shorter. Each child is different.

Tomorrow she completes her first month. They tell me in babycare books that she might smile her first real smile in the coming weeks. Sometimes Sayalee looks just so sombre that it is hard to imagine her smiling in recognition. She is a Virgo baby after all. They are very serious, and very responsible little souls. She is a grumpy little baby (according to the classification by the late Tracy Hogg)

Everyone in my house is sleeping soundly at the moment. The three-fourths of my family have completely hijacked the bed, leaving no room for the remaining one-fourth who is writing this blog. I badly need some good cappucino.

Oh, and one last piece of good news. I can still fit into my pre-pregnancy jeans. That is such a comfort when everything around you seems so out of control. Lots and lots of laundry, sterilizer, warmer, bottles, formula lying on my study table, clothes rack taking up a size-able chunk of my bedroom. Baby oil, baby powder and baby wipes on my laptop table. Not to be cleared by me. Not so soon anyway.
