Field Trip

I took Chloe to their field trip to Stanley Park to ride the train through the woods and watch the Christmas lights display, it was really cold, sure enough, no matter how dressed she is, two days later, she caught a flu again.

Christmas Recital

I chose a little clip of Chloe's recital, she really enjoys performing...

I must be dreaming...

I wondering what's she dreaming about...isn't she cute?

I'm a big Sister now...

Our new little angel - Kaylie

We are welcoming our second angel Kaylie, she is born on Sept 16, she is 6 lbs 2 oz little one. The labour is not the hardest part anymore when you have second child, the hardest part is giving two kids equal attentions. Even though Chloe is big enough but she is adjusting mommy is being shared. I think Chloe is doing great, she is really trying to stay out of my way and not make a big fuzz if I can't cater to her.

Pre School Day Three

Well, right after the first day of the introduction to school, Chloe went home having fever that night. I kept her at home for the first day, she escaped the first day of school. Second day when I take her to school, she didn`t want me to leave and started crying and screaming mommy as she ran to the door, and the teacher grabbed her quickly, and told me to leave immediately, my heart just sunk and felt bad to see her cry.

I didn`t think would be this hard, because it`s like every time when Conrad and I planned to leave her behind at my mom`s for some errands, she always seems to know it`s not a normal week day at the grandma`s. She cried and pleaded not to be left behind. When I went to picked her up at school, she was calm in the line up, but as I poked my head over the door, she saw me right away and she started balling and screaming mommy again.

Today I was a bit scared of the crying, so I left right away, but sitting in the car, just in case. I had a doctor`s appointment, so I came back to pick her up afterwards, my dad was already there with my niece as well to pick up my nephew. The door opens finally, I was standing away from the door this time, the first kid came out already crying for mommy. When it`s Chole`s turn to come out, she ran bypass my dad and to me directly and started crying again. I held her up and she calm down quickly this time, she was able to say goodbye to people. It`s an improvement, but the teacher told me that Chloe likes to climb, one minute if she didn`t pay attention, she`s already climb up somewhere, so it`s something we`ll have to work on. I think next week I would have to let my dad to pick her up a couple times to get use to me not being there in case I popped.

A quick update

So officially I am now on Mat leave, with that said, it`s kind good and bad, because I missed the pay cheque, we have so much expenses now to keep up. Recently our washer broker, so we have bought a brand new pair, and that still waiting to be paid off. Hopefully the energy efficient washer will save us the hydro bill in the long run. Chloe`s now going to school, that`s another expenses every month, we`ll have to tighten our belt and cutting corners on other spending.

I am now 37 weeks in, it's quite a milestone, the doctor consider it's full term now. With my belly carrying this low, it could pop anytime I guess. I know I won't be missing being pregnant again, I felt physically strained from doing stuff, and you just want to get your body back. I don't remember this hard with Chloe but then, it's a different kind of challenge altogether.

Today I took Chloe to her first day of pre-school, she is totally a wild child, very free spirits and active. All other kids were sitting on the floor in a half circle facing the teacher. She is the only one wants to run around the classroom, and sitting behind the teacher, or teacher`s chair for that matter. She totally embarrassed me with many other parents there. The teacher`s assistant has put her focus on her, trying to get Chloe to sit down with other kids, oh boy, I don`t know what`s going to happen later on, finger crossed.
