Today I had 2 lessons from my daughter

#Lesson 1

This morning while my daughter played with her poh poh, my hubby and I realized that she bends her knees to put items into poh poh's hand (which is positioned lower than her reach) every single time. To us, it looked funny and cute and so we asked, "Dear, why do you bend like that?"

And then it hit me, she is doing it right. It was us who tend to bend our backs that are wrong. Here we were, correcting something which was right because we believed it should be so. This is typical of our lives where if we had paused and chose to reflect, we will find that sometimes, there are things we can learn from those we least expect to learn from.

#Lesson 2

I was told that I frowned whenever I'm deep in thoughts. I tried changing it when I was younger but have since given it up. Now, my daughter imitates me whenever I frowned. And boy, I now understand why people are always asking me why I frowned. It just doesn't look nice.

The question now would be, is this in born, a bad habit or something else? How can I learn to not frown?

Watching TV, a luxury??

As I look across my yard into my neighbour's balcony and into their living room, I see them watching the tv. It's 10pm. It just dawned upon me that watching tv is now a luxury that I no longer have. Here I am preparing my baby's feed after a short power nap and hopefully be able to put her to sleep for the night or at least for 5 hours. How am I able to write this blog then?

Well, my baby was suppose to have her feed now but she too decided to have a longer nap. So it's becoming a pattern now for me to sneak in some of my own work while waiting for her to awaken to have her feed. I now realized that just a few months ago, I was actually having the time of my life without realizing it. Sleeping soundly every night for at least 7 hours, eating whenever I want, sleeping whenever I feel like it, etc. But before I start sounding like a disgruntled mum, I am actually very very thankful to have such a wonderful daughter. Despite all this, whenever I see her smile, nothing else matters.

So yes, watching TV IS a luxury, but nothing beats watching my little angel.
