Sweet Time Tuesday

It's been awhile since Madi and I have been out- I mean out as in hang-out. Since Thanksgiving, it has always been errands, bad weather, and flu... They say that it is supposed to snow again tonight and now that Madi has recovered from fever and cold, I thought we should go out and have fun before the snow comes again tonight. We did and we both had so much fun. I could tell from her smile that she enjoyed our time. She said she wanted to go to the bookstore and wanted me to read her two books, and go to the grocery to buy bananas. We did both her requests and more- she even got to buy three books using a gift card she got from Christmas, she got to have chocolate drink and chocolate brownie at the cafe, and got to ride the brown car shopping cart at the grocery.

chocolate drink!

cheers! hot chocolate for mommy and cold choco drink for baby.

Later tonight (in a couple of hours), I'll be attending my first session of French class. I am excited to learn a new language. Then when I get home, I have Parenthood to look forward to on TV. It has been a sweet day so far and hope it will be until the end because Tuesday is my day! (Meaning it's the night for Madi and Jon to hang out while I do my own thing).

Talk About The Weather...

This is probably the most snow I've seen in ten years of being here in New York. I mean how many snows have we gotten since Christmas? It is just too much... Well at least New York is not that bad because it's almost always ready for it- we spend a lot for it to be cleaned straight away. However, I still feel sorry for most people who has to go through it all. I feel lucky that I'm just home right now with my baby. I can imagine that I would be going crazy if I had to go to work with this kind of situation.

I have a couple of siblings in Virginia and boy... they are one of those States that are not equipped to snow storms. They are all literally stranded. For instance, my brother and his family... husband and wife goes to work, two kids are at a baby sitter. They are all going to sleep tonight separated except for the two boys with the same sitter. They all drove for hours and hours in traffics but really impossible to get home. Poor family... but I'm glad they are all safe even though they are not together for the night and hopefully they could all be home tomorrow.

My baby and I will have a long day tomorrow and I am happy she is now sound asleep in her bed. I wish for a better weather tomorrow and for everyone to be warm and safe.

Missing You

I'm sorry to have missed you the past days... I still love you but I've just found this most convenient way to post a blog which is Tumblr. I can do it so easily with my IPhone, you know. However, the profile settings here and all are still different and that's why I still love you. Tumblr is just like a Twitter where you can share photos and text instantly except that compared to Twitter, you can send a longer text, a blog. But whenever I have time, I still prefer sitting on my desk, in front of the computer to gather my thoughts and type rather than typing on the phone. I'll just do Tumblr in other instances. Ok? So I hope you're not upset because I am still here. Muwah!

Ready Or Not

In less than four months, my baby will turn three... I'm still trying to decide if I want to organize a party or just make it strictly relatives. Most of all, I have been going through Madi's first and second birthday photos and reminiscing how she was before. She has really grown a lot and I can't believe it. I'm happy to realize all the developments and yet sad to think how fast time flies... I don't want her to grow too quickly.

It used to be (during the newborn stage to one year old) exciting with all the firsts: smile, laugh, word, roll, step, tooth... etc. Then she turns two and she's walking, talking too much, and tells you what she wants and all that (she now has a mind of her own, so to speak). They say "terrible two" so does that mean I should be looking forward for her to turn three? I know she could be a pain in the neck sometimes at this age (oh boy... I'm just looking at all the mess right now in front of me while writing this) but somehow I wish she could remain two for a little bit longer because I love how sweet she is right now, how she would beg her dad to not work and just stay home with us, that she would kiss me every time I ask, that she never wants me to leave her side... 

I just can't imagine my life without her yet. It may sound selfish if I say that I'm scared when she goes to school and have friends, she'll be happier without me around but that's how I feel sometimes. I'm afraid when the time comes she'd be embarrass to kiss and hug me in front of other people... What can I do, right? Growing up is a part of life and I have to accept the fact that whether I am ready or not, she will grow and have a life of her own. I just wish that I will be able to be a good mother to her and I wish she would grow to be a good person too and have a good life. She's the best thing to me...
