SOS

This morning...

Yifan: Sha, can you come pick me up? I ran out of gas.
Me: ??!!

So with a messy head of hair, a badly put- together ensemble, and a young baby in tow, I rushed out of the house.



Luckily for him, there was Super Sha and Skylar to the rescue!



He very nearly ended up like this:

Bookworm Me

Amidst all the Sandra Boynton and Roger Priddy books, I have also recently started reading parenting books. My first one was The 90-Minute Baby Sleep Program: Follow Your Child's Natural Sleep Rhythms for Better Nights and Naps.



Next on my list are Secrets of the Baby Whisperer: How To Calm, Connect, and Communicate With Your Baby



and Mothering Without a Map: The Search for the Good Mother Within

Skylar At Play

Gymboree Level II was absolute fun for Skylar, and a total workout for me!

As I was nursing Skylar at 5am this morning, a thought suddenly occured to me-- as tiring and frustrating as it sometimes can be, Skylar is not going to stay a baby forever, and I know that one day I will look back and miss all those times when I had to scrub out his poop-stained clothes, clean up his spit-ups, and yes, even miss the nights where I had to wake up 3-4 times to feed/soothe him.

Something about seeing him smile in his sleep while still in my arms, and listening to Yifan's gentle snoring in the background, warmed my heart, and at that moment in time, I felt a deep sense of peace and happiness.

Current Mood: grateful

4th July Weekend

**************************************

Independence Day means different things to different people-- some people spend the day grilling away, while others are grateful for the extra day off work. Then there are people who are busier than ever on public holidays such as this-- people like us who hit the stores in search of good deals.

We had a fruitful 2- day shopping weekend!








*************************************
Yesterday was Skylar's first and last session of Gymboree Level I. His teacher thought that Level II would be a better fit for him. So come Saturday, we will be joining the more "advanced" class.
