“Thanks” to today’s gadgets, more and more kids tend to say, “I don’t know what I’m good at. I don’t know what I like. I’m not interested in anything actually.” (But somehow they are interested …

Super quick updates on Anya and Vai

20 January 20096 Comments

Anya is now 4 years and 10 months
Height : 109 cm
Weight : 16.4 kg

Vai is now 2 years and 5 months
Height : 98 cm
Weight : 16 kg

Recently I’ve been going through lots of ‘down moments’ with Anya. Things have not been nice and sweet.

But really, when I lay still at night and run through the stuff that’s happened earlier that day, I know I still need to be thankful to God for giving to me, to my family, all the blessings and especially the strengths that we need to be parents to our little ones.

    Siska :

    ya ya … Vai will catch up real soon, I think! ๐Ÿ™‚

    Yes, it’s just a ‘phase’ that Anya’s going through (unfortunately, it’s tough on the parents who have to face the moments too), and Anya sure doesn’t look like she could be THAT difficult. But then again, who couldn’t ya? We’re all sinners …

    Priscilla :

    Come to think of it, I guess all moms go through similar thoughts at one point of their motherhood days? Yes ?

    Yes, feeling frustrated at one side, being thankful on the other.

    The ‘ever-interesting’ feeling we parents go through …

    Ya … I feel sometimes my actions and words could be better too when dealing with the kids’ behaviour,

    Hope your talk with Jodie went well that day …

    Grace Koay :

    Thanks! ๐Ÿ™‚ hey may be one day Vai and Lachie can hang out (while we mommies relax and chat! ๐Ÿ™‚ )

    You know, one thought that somehow helps me each time I think of it (during difficult times handling the kids) is that I know things will be so much more challenging later when my kids are in their TEENAGE years.

    By that time, given the option, I’d probably choose to deal with small children’s tantrums than teenage rebellion.

    I guess just so happens Anya is rather petite for her age, and her brother is rather big for his age ? ๐Ÿ™‚

    and oh yes, you can really FEEL the WEIGHT when you carry them huh? ๐Ÿ™‚

  • hebat yah perbedaan boys and girls…masa beratnya bisa sama gitu? Caden juga dah 16kg now..scary..so heavy…gendong dia dah super berat!

    Hi Leonny,

    Vai is a big boy! My isn’t he a handsome dude too! ๐Ÿ™‚ Lachie and Vai is about the same height and weight though Lach’s 3 months older. He’s going through a terrificly terrible two-three stage, somedays I just hear myself screaming allday! I think there’re only more challenges ahead… ๐Ÿ˜› So much to look forward to huh?

    Just had a huge showdown wif jodie this morning too. she refused to put on her crocs and leave the house and we were running late – she from school and me from work. In desperation, I ended up giving her a few smacks on the backside while she wailed away…Not the best way to start the day ๐Ÿ™ But by the time we reached school, she was smiling happily away n was in fact in quite a good mood. Sigh…think I better try to talk to her when she’s back and hopefully this won’t happen again..

  • Priscilla says:

    I have the same thought too!!! Perhaps cos our kids are in same age group and the ups & downs that we face are similar?

    There are times when I am so frustrated with them and yet I haveto thank God for giving such precious gifts to me. There are people out there who are longing for this gift for not getting one.

    waduuuh, bentar lagi vai bakal nyusul encinya. baik tinggi maupun berat.

    anya kaga kliatan spt anak yg bakal kasih bonyoknya hard times. look is deceiving yah…. take heart, mungkin cuma satu phase aja dia lagi nakal. klu udah lewat, dia bakal nurut lagi kok.
