Anna & Sophia

I was so amazed when Sophia was counting the sheeps and goats in one of the computer games i was playing.  In the past, she would count.  1, 2, 4, 8,…..this time she actually did the 1, 2, 3 correctly.  I am super proud of her.   Maybe those DVD that she has been watching is really helping her.  She has been talking more and more each day.  She would point at things and ask me what that is time to time.  Although she’ll forget the word really fast.  But if i repeat time to time.  She would have the idea of how the things should sound.  I can’t wait till she could talk in full sentences.

I was at the mall with Sophia today.  I figure it was a nice day, why not bring her out.  So i was shopping around at Forever 21 and saw couple of men holding their babies in the store while their other half are shopping at the store.  I was very impress and happy to finally see men helping out.

Finally men are stepping up.  That is all we ever ask for.  A little help here and there.  Trust me, we mothers really appreciate these things.  Who enjoys shopping care free.  Not having to worry about where our lil one ran to while we’re shopping or having our ears torture  because our lil one are screaming to leave the store.

So giving a little shot out to all the fathers out there who helps out.  Thank You and just want to let you know.  We appreciate the things you do for us.

I am officially drained out.  Sophia was never a great sleeper, but last night she beat the all the high record.  Felt like she cried like ten million times.  Didn’t get much sleep at all.  If it was just one night crying like the way she did.  That would have been fine.  But she been at it for couple of weeks already.  Night terror is one thing, but driving me crazy is a whole other thing.  Mommy not happy…..there will be no peace in the house.  Well…i’ll try to stay calm.  But i am definitely pushing it right now.   Sophia is going to turn 3.  Aren’t kids suppose to be sleeping pretty well by age three no matter how bad they used to be.  What happen to mine? special case??

I woke up this morning with dark clouds and pouring rain.  Is such a shame that is raining because it would have been a really nice day to go out.  Is going to be 61 degree over here in Jersey today.  I guess we just have to let mother nature do their thing.  Water the planet i guess.

My detox didn’t go so well.  The first day i went on.  I didn’t feel much different. Just another regular day.  But the second day made me kind of sick.  So i stop it after the second day.  Maybe is just me.  My body is weaker than most people.  I really heard good outcome from my friends who really went through the whole seven days of detox.  They said they felt lighter, healthier.

Went to visit Papa Bear’s friends who he haven’t seen for awhile.  We went out to have lunch.  I know hibachi is not the newest thing.  But is definitely my first time.  It was fun watching and the food was pretty good.  Will mostly try it again.

I been getting sick so often that maybe my body need a little detox.  It wouldn’t hurt to give my body a rest. With all the junk food that i eat is time to get rid of some junk that’s been staying inside.  If this works out great.  I might do it every half a year.  Thanks to my friend Sam who got me the NutriClean cleansing system so fast.  Or else i might have to wait another week.  I hate waiting for stuff.

This product have a pretty good reviews from the user.  So i’m guessing it should be good.  I will definitely let you know how it goes.

I’m trying to give Sophia something else to do besides watching her Spongebob.  Instead i let her try water painting. Is a little messy, but it teaches her colors.  I think she enjoyed it.  Advise: Do not leave your child unattended without supervision or else the paint will get everywhere. HaHa!!

I am definitely not one of those people that enjoy the cold weather.  As much as i love the New York City, the weather over here is definitely killing my mood. (around 25 degree or so)  I been home almost an entire week.  I hardly even step out of the doorway.  I would just go out to grab grocery.  To be honest, if i didn’t need to eat.  I wouldn’t even want to go out.  Talking about hibernation in the winter.  I am definitely taking hibernation in a whole new level.

Sophia is not complaining neither about not going out.  I think she enjoys staying home as much as i do.  She’s in ten million layers of clothes when she goes out that she would have a hard time just simplicity climbing on to her car seat.  But at the same time, i can’t afford to get her sick.  I hardly get enough sleep as it is.  I cannot give her more excuse to wake up in the middle of the night screaming her lungs out.  Her discomfort would only mean one thing, less shut eye for me.  I’m only human.  I need my beauty sleep.

I’m meeting up with my always so fabulous friend Wendy today.  I need to kick this winter hibernation mood out of my system.  Or at least attend to try.  Wish me luck.

Sophia is turning 3 next month.  I am so looking forward to that.  But at the same time i really don’t understand why i still don’t get a good night rest without Sophia crying, wait i meant screaming  3-4 times in the middle of the night.  I know is night terror and not nightmare.  There isn’t much i could do about her night terror.  It comes and goes.  It was getting better but lately it’s been coming back pretty strong.  I hardly gotten any sleep last night because she kept waking up screaming.  She doesn’t want to be touch nor talk to.  Night terror usually means let the kid scream and they will go back to sleep.  The thing is…..she doesn’t just scream for one or two  minutes.  She could scream and kick for 5-10 minutes.  I’m pulling out my hair thinking what i could do to help her.  I’m really running out of ideas and i’m getting tired.

Found this information on babycenter.com just in case anyone is in the same situation as i am.

Is it me or i been seeing lots of pregnant women around.  Just seeing them rub their bellies reminds me the good old days.  The time when i was carrying Sophia.  She was such a good girl.  Never gave much trouble.  Besides the morning sickness.  I couldn’t think of another thing to complain about her.

Who knew she could be such a brat right now.  Ha! Ha! But that’s my brat which i adore dearly.  How time flies.  She is all grown up now.  Those are truly priceless memories.  I still remember like yesterday when i first lay my eyes on her.  With overwhelm happiness i couldn’t believe that was my daughter.  My little girl that i been waiting for.

I miss those moment when she would just sit there and stare at you.  Like she’s trying to read your mind or something.  Or just simple things like the way she sleeps.  So peaceful.

I know i should cherish the time right now with her.  Because probably years from now.  I will miss these moment too.

I wasn’t in NYC on New Year.  I was on the road heading to visit one of my friend.  This time i brought Sophia and my mom along for the trip.  Consider this is the first time i took Sophia on a trip.  She did really good.  I’ll give her a 95.  I was definitely glad my mom came along.  We haven’t been on a trip together for awhile now.
