Binky-free diary

I should have done this a while back but I kept delaying it, then on last Tuesday, i.e the 13th Nov, the thought crossed my mind again and I've decided to execute my plan to let Dillon wean off his pacifier.

Day 1 - 13th Nov
After listening to my friend, I put a littl bit of 西瓜霜 (watermelon frost spray, an edible medicine for ulcer/sore throat) on his pacifier and when he saw it, he said it's dirty and asked me to wash it; I pretended to wash & give him back, he licked it & still complain it's dirty, then I told him yes it's dirty, why not throw it into dustbin? To my surprise he nodded and he threw the pacifier into the dustbin himself and walked back to his bed. (Hahahaha LOL, it's easier than I thought). Maid said he fell asleep quite late that night & he did wake up in the middle of night crying for his pacifier but she managed to comfort him & pat him back to sleep.

Day 2 - 14th Nov
Maid said he didn't want to nap & was throwing tantrum (he used to nap on his own when given pacifier). Finally at around 4pm, he was too tired and my maid cradle him to sleep. At night, he asked for the pacifier and I reminded him that he has thrown it into the dustbin himself, then he remained quiet. :) The same thing happen as the 1st night as we have expected.

Day 3 - 15th Nov
Instead of 2 naps that he used to have, he only took one nap in the late afternoon about 4pm, but he was no longer crying searching for his pacifier. The best thing of the day was, he slept through the night. :)

Day 4 - 16th Nov
He didn't ask for the pacifier at all and slept through the night as well.

Day 5 - 17th Nov
Same as Day 4, and I can now safely say that Dillon had successfully wean off his pacifier, hooray!! My Binky-free mission has finally accomplished.

Dearest my son, you have made it, mummy is so proud of you! :)

Nice girls bedding

My sister has just moved in to her new house and finally my niece - Ashley get to sleep in her own room and not rooming with the parents anymore. She is so excited in decorating her room and has asked if I could find her a nice bedding set.

I came across these nice Childrens Bedding on the website and they are not just lovely but also personalized and I am sure Ashley will like it very much. Since her room is painted in her favourite colour pink, these Pink Purple Dots and Pink Butterfly would bedding definitely blend in perfectly with the room.

Eczema

Ever since Kaith was 2 months plus, she has dry & scaly skin on her cheek and forehead. I thought it's just normal heat rashes and would go away by itself as she grows. Until the recent week, her skin condition still didn't improve and her face become very rough. She would also scratch her cheeks and head often and it made her couldn't sleep well at night.

Then I decided to bring her to the paediatrician and he said that Kaith was having Eczema but it's just very mild and he gave me a bottle of Eucerin lotion to apply on her whole body including face & head, and another cream for stopping the itchiness.

Just 2 days after applying the lotion, Kaith has regain her smooth skin on the face and now she looks much prettier. :)

Emergency cash

There might be times when we needed some quick cash in hand for emergency uses and payday loan would be a practical solution.

It is different from the loans that we used to apply where we have to fill up a lot of forms and submit documents to money lender and wait for days or weeks for approval. Faxless Payday Loans is quick and easy, as long as we meet the basic requirement that is at least 18 years of age, have a regular income, valid personal details such as email, phone number, home address, driver’s license, social security number, a valid checking account and one personal reference, we can submit our application online without having to go to the individual money lender.

The application will then be evaluated and if it meets the approval criteria of the particular lender, the loan will be approved and within the next business day, the money will be deposited to our designated checking account. The repayment options are also flexible depending on our preference and affordability.

Loan has never been so easy with just one click away.

Pool fun time!

We used to have a kids pool that was passed down from my brother & Dillon had so much fun playing in that pool but too bad it was bitten by rats and we couldn’t patch it back as the hole was too big.

On last Sunday, we finally bought a “new pool” at Tesco and this time, I bought one of 6 feet (in diameter) because it’s meant for 2 kids so I reckon that it is better to have a bigger pool (I could even go into the pool with the kids as well, hehe)

When hubby was filling the pool with water, Dillon was already too excited and can’t wait to jump into the pool.

Even baby Kaith was joining her brother for some fun in the pool. (she was wearing Dillon’s swim diapers, it fits perfectly on her now)


We really had so much fun on that afternoon and I’m sure Dillon and Kaith will be looking forward to the next “pool fun time”. (Hubby may be otherwise as he is the one who has to inflate the pool, fill the pool, later on empty the pool and deflate the pool, :P)

Shop for new house

My sister has recently moved in to her new house and she was so excited in getting new furniture because she finally had her own house, before this she was renting an apartment with her family.

I accompanied her to shop for furniture as her husband is always busy with work. We read some home décor magazines and also see the bedroom furniture and living room furniture on the websites in order to get some idea on what to buy for the new house.

Since her husband is running his own business and hence he needs to work from home from time to time so he would need to get some Classic Home Office Furniture as well. There are so many nice and trendy designs for furniture home office that blends in well with the other home furniture, it’ll sure make working at home a better experience.

Kaith in walker

Kaith doesn’t like to lie down but she likes to be held in standing or sitting positions. Thus I have tried putting her in the walker last week and found that she just love it! She was so happy and whenever we press the honk, she would just laugh out loud, hahaha LOL.

See the series of pictures with her happy face and smiles.

Termites problem

We moved in our new house back in 1995 and 3 years ago, that is in 2004, my dad planned to refurbish all the bedrooms as I have got married and moved out. When we moved away the furniture in my room, we noticed that there are fecal pellets at the base of my study desk and beside table. We are not sure what was it back then and thus we called a pest control company to come and check it out.

The guys came and inspected the whole house and it shocked us that they found not only my bedroom, but in all other bedrooms was also infested by Drywood Termites. Luckily, the termites colonies are small and it’s only at the wood furniture in the bedrooms, so they did a drywood termite treatment where they used insecticides to kill the termites. After this bad experience, now we have regular inspections so that we could discover the colonies earlier and avoid serious damage to the house.
