T is for Teething!
Last Sat on the day of our big move, Dana registered a higher than usual temperature. We were initially very worried as there was an outbreak of HMFD in her pre-school but it turned out that she was teething!For few days that ensued, our Princess kept complaining of pain in her mouth (esp near the right cheek area) so we presumed her molars were erupting.

Discipline without Anger
With our Princess slowly approaching the infamous "Terrible Twos" stage, she is starting to exhibit more willful behaviour. We as her parents are faced with the enviable task of having to "discipline" this charming little tot whom we love with all our being. On some occasions, we disciplined her out of anger at the spur of the moment; it's definitely not something that we are proud of.

My adorable Princess at 16 months
When people say time flies, I believe parents couldn't agree more. Our princess turned 16 months on 5 Aug and I've only found time to document her milestones today. This is perhaps the best toddler age; she's bubbly, giggly, spontaneous, inquisitive and very communicative. At this age, toddlers are trying to make sense of the world around them through language and hence, they love to mimic our actions and words. Dana does this everyday, much to our amusement.She's growing by leaps and bounds esp … [Read more...]
