Too Soon?

This week opened a door of new big decision ( and hopefully a good adventure ) for our little kawaii princess. While we were on our usual mommy bonding one time last week, someone gave us a brochures on our way to the Baby room.

I kinda got excited and yet unsure if its too soon to send our lil girl to a pre-school. Although we've already thought about enrolling her to a school when she turns 2 even when I was still pregnant (lol).

I'm thinking It might be best for her to play and socialize with other kids. Something she would look forward every week. The activities and curriculum are quite tempting because moms would be also participating in the first few months until kids are ready to seperate from their parents for awhile. The class will start on the first week of March and I just made a reservation on the last day, feb 8... ( i still have few days to confirm or cancell -feb 15 )


I'm a stay at home mom and we don't have much kids at her age in our neighborhood. Although we let her mingle with the kids at my japanese grandma's school sometimes, but I just can't take her there everytime even if Okasan says ok. It would be unfair right coz she's not really attending on that school.

Oh well bottomline is... I'M 20% CONFUSE... Her DAD says ok though.... I want to send her to a pre-school but I'm thinking which pre-school? I have to research and find other options aside from Miki House Kids Pal


am i confuse or in denial ? I feel crappy right now, mixed emotions... excited, confuse, happy, and sad..

Help Suggestions / advices are very much appreciate

Sweet 16

I hope you all had a fun weekend. TIME INDEED FLIES SO FAST. I always hear these words from my oldies before so it really sounds like a cliche to me. But now, I find myself saying these over and over and I just realized, am I getting old? I guess I had never been much paying attention before over the time has passed. Is it because of my lil girl?

It was only like yesterday when we can hold her to our arms as long as we want. Now, she doesn't want to be held anymore, only when she wants to ( bratty!).

Oh well, I'm starting to get sentimental again because today (feb 8), our little princess has turned 16 months ...

16 Wonderful and Sweet Months of being with AZUMI

Looking forward for our new adventures this month..

Before I end this, let me share some of our weekend snapshots...

oooppss there's more... read the rest...

Language of Love

Well I think we’ve come a long way since the first day she came out to this world, and US as a parents.  Our goal is always been to raise our little girl thoughtfully and intentionally. We've learned that it's not easy and it takes alot of effort and dedication.

Thanks to Mommy Chris. I've become aware with the basics of Love Languages. So glad that we're doing a good as far as I know.

Words of Affirmation.
Honey believes that this is the most essential thing we should teach our (future) kid, COMMUNICATION. We do this as soon as she wakes up. Staying in bed for a little bit, snuggling and talking to your baby (even if she still cant talk) could create a good mood for the whole day .  We're so much extra careful with our words and actions now that Azumi loves mimicking (although sometimes i tend forget but i'm trying not to say bad words in front of her). IT's also important to praise/compliment your child even the simplest or little thing she learns.

ON Quality Time.
No questions. I'm with her 24/7. She's my buddy, she's always with me. She's lucky coz we always eat breakfast and dinner together with her Dad. We always take her somewhere she would enjoy, parks, riverside, malls, zoo, groceries, or simple driving around.


Physical Touch.
Hugging and snuggling are my two favorite thing .. I think she also loves hugging. When she's on a good mood, you don't have to ask her to kiss you, coz she will.

Receiving Gifts
I would like to thank my friends (online and offline) for every lovely gifts they give to Azumi. We really really really appreciate it. We feel so blessed. Thank you so much .
 
Acts of Service
I'm kinda OC when it comes to my lil girl . I wash her clothes separately. I iron them. Change her sheets and towel every 2 days. Alcohol is in every corner of the house. When it comes to food, I want it healthy.
When it comes to chores, I now let her stay beside me ( even if she can be too makulit ) and show what I'm doing. I think she's having more interest in sweeping the floors.
