The one with macNcheese






This is what I prepared for Aimi's lunchbox today.
Half kiwi and mac n cheese.

Actually, Aimi didn't finish up her milk before she went to sleep last nite. So sayang to discard the leftovers of her milk which is 4 ounce, I put it in the fridge with intention to make some omelet for today's breakfast.

But today I've got an idea of making mac n cheese using the milk leftover tu.

So I made a batch of mac n cheese, for Aimi & for my lunch too. Tengok-tengok ada banyak lagi for dinner later. :P

I don't like this kind of attitude


I joined this one group of mommies in FB, with intention to gain some knowledge and share experience about our LOs (little ones) .

When I stumble upon this kind of status in the group, it somehow pissed me off.

First, because she is not being thankful that her mother is willing to take care of her LO.

I mean, hey come on! You don't have any idea how hard it is to get a babysitter nowadays! You should be thankful that your mother is willing to babysit your LO, you know? Compared to having to send your LO to daycare like me, I am very envy of you. You have no idea how the daycare babysit your LO. If you are lucky, you will get a good one - which I bet it sure gonna cost you >700/month. Or if you are not lucky, you will get a terrible daycare and might end up having to resign and taking care of your LO yourself (which I am currently feeling like it right now)

Secondly, the way how she despise her mom for feeding the baby with the TV on.

Do you know how much time does your mom have every day in order to settle the house chores and your LO? Very little. That's why she uses any mean to feed your LO which includes bribing her with TV.
Have you ever got so preoccupied with your LO that you didn't have time to cook your lunch and dinner? I bet your mom have too. Can you just let her do what she needs to do so that your LO is happy and content so that she, in return has the time to settle other chores?

What? You expect your mom to be patient and slowly feed LO for 1 hour?
Then, your father no need to eat lunch & dinner meh?

Thirdly, on how she is trying to become a perfect mom by not wanting to do wrong.

COME ONNNNNNN!!
No one can become a perfect parent. Haven't you read of that fact? Haihhhh.

Yes I understand that you don't want your LO to watch TV at all coz all the parenthood books said that TV is not good for LO.

But have you ever considered if that is the only way to keep your LO brain busy so that her mouth can open wide during feeding time, then just let it be - for the sake of your mom's time.

Meanwhile, when you bring your LO back home and feed her dinner, feed her the way that you want. You might get lucky if eventually your LO won't need the TV on during her feeding time.

Don't blame your mom and complain so much on the group larrr...

If you don't like how she takes care of your LO, just resign and babysit your own LO.
Apa susah?

The one with Combi Coccoro Carseat





Oh, I wanna write a review on this carseat.

We bought this Combi Coccoro Carseat at the Baby Fair in MidValley for RM800.

Freaking expensive but very efficient.

It is very easy to install and uninstall on your car seat. Be it the front passenger or back passenger, you name it. The padding is suitable for newborn babies until their neck is strong enough to support their heads. the safety belt are padded so the baby will feel very comfy in it.

Since Aimi is now 10 months old, we pulled the padding out so that she has more space for her shoulders.
This car seat comes with EggShock technology which is claimed to reduce the risk of head injuries.


The baby carseat is damn light that we can actually lift it out of the car if the baby is sleeping, by not having to wake the baby up. And once you have reach the house and put the baby carseat down, you can rock the baby carseat slowly to help the baby continue sleeping.

The material of this carseat is very good.
If we park the car at the open carpark during a hot sunny days, the carseat won't get too hot and we can put the baby rite inside the carseat once we got into the car. Especially the padding. That padding is damn good. But now even without the padding, the temperature of the carseat is still acceptable for Aimi to sit on it.

Well, I guess that's it for now. Can't think of anything else to say good things about this carseat anymore.

In the end, it all depends on your budget. If you can afford it, you can get a better quality carseat but with higher price lar :P


The one with MegaBloks



Aimi's new favorite things-to-make-mama-mad to do nowadays, is playing with the bottle cap.
Be it her feeding bottle or even my clinique turnaround cream. OH NO!

She will keep capping and recapping the bottle and if she failed, she will scream out loud.


Haih.
So I went to Jusco yesterday to get this MegaBloks for her.
It is so freaking expensive!
Can I consider this as an advance birthday present for you, Aimi? :P


Well, she seems happy and all excited about the megabloks though.
Hopefully she will get preoccupied with these megabloks while I am busy cooking dinner.
At least, Papa is around to play with her.

Okay Aimi.
Ask Papa your next birthday present! I have given you mine :)

The one with her lunch box


This is Aimi's lunch box for a day meal.
Half cup of rice made into plain porridge - in the food jar thermos.
Steamed carrot & broccoli with some soup from my vege soup of the day.
Peeled grapes without seed - punched into the cute sticks from Daiso.
Some coco crunch for her snacks.

Oooops, no protein for today :P


Usually, she can finish everything in her lunch box but that depends on her mood.

I don't mind.
As long as she has her appetite, I am all satisfied.

Can't wait to make her cute bento like this!!
Only when she's ready to eat her normal rice lah, porridge cannot make into these cute shapes lar :P
