A Lemon A Day, Keep Doctor Away!!

Do you believe this myths? I do....
Since my mum told me to give lemon juice to Jona and Isaac Noel as their daily supplement, indeed, their health has improved instantly...no more flu or cough...

Before this, always alternate day, Isaac Noel will got flu (don't know from where - back from nanny house), and Jona will always got it from school (no comment) - cough or flu...and, for my boys, once they started cough, I have to use inhaler to ease their discomfort. And flu medicine for their flu which I really hate of using it. And, worst come worst, I have more work to do - wash their blankie or bedsheet/pillow case due to their vomit of bad cough and phlegm almost every day!! Sometimes, I just run out of stock for their blankie/bedsheet....

Now, all these problem has been set aside, hopefully forever lor....

I truly believe lemon contain high vitamin C and can boost immune system too (no wonder so sour, he,he....). Luckily, my boys just love it so much, of course, added bit of sugar to make it less soury. Thanks to my mum again for this remedy...and, I just spend less money on buying their daily supplement anymore...rather put the money to purchase lemon....yummy, yummy...

Indeed, when myself or esp hubby got flu(always, just don't understand how he so easily got it), after drink lemon juice, it just get better. And, nowdays, I truly believe lemon is better than orange in term of vit.C. My boys can't eat orange till today cause once they took it, immediately got phlegm.

I'm so happy that Isaac and Jona just 'free' from flu. If they do caught with flu, immediately drink lemon juice, the flu just get better and not worst.....

Might wanna try for yourself.

Cleaning Set - for Boys???

Last week, while I do a quick shopping during lunchtime, going to Toy R Us to buy present for my friend kids (their daddy came here for business trip)....

Suddenly, I saw this cleaning set - so nice. And, suddenly I remember when I do the sweeping and mopping, Jona always want to help me, and recently, Isaac too...And, I sweep the floor, both boys will also take 'spare' broom and sweep together with me...of course, it end up even worst.

And, when I going to pay money for this cleaning set, NOT cheap lor, cost me RM 49.95 (for 7 pieces only), suddenly my colleague asked me 'Are you sure you want to buy this cleaning set?". Of course I got shocked, cause she said, "It stated here as "Girl ONLY"....

**roll my eyes** ....What?! So bias - how could they put such word(as their marketing strategy). Does it mean that boys cannot play this kind of cleaning set?? Then, how am I going to train them to do housework in future?? Or, only those who has girl can purchase only??

Anyway, I still go ahead and purchase it...and you know, my 2 boys just LOVE it so much....he,he...always fighting who will get the broom...

2 Boys 2 Styles....

See what I mean....

'So cold, So cold'

Jona really dislike pool, but, he really love and enjoying playing water in bath tub or at home. Maybe, I think swimming pool water is too cold for him. When he step his leg into the pool, immediately he will pull it out, and said "very cold, cold. Don't want, Don't want". And, end up, he rather want to sit there and cover himself with the towel....aiyah..ah boy, ah boy...

'Wow, see my pose'

Opposite for Isaac Noel. He just love water, water, water. No matter at home, or bath tub or swimming pool. After landed himself in the pool, he just don't want to come out, no matter how we force him....he will grab the floating so hard....

At home, in the bath tub, if you said "Isaac ok, come out"....immediately he will sit back in the bath tub and said "No, No, No" and shake his head some more very firm and sit still.....this 'little fair piggy' (new nickname given by daddy) another style...

Conversation among 2 brothers...

Some conversation between Jona and Isaac Noel (really funny and cute):-

At night, before sleep (nowdays, both sleep together on matress since grandma leave). Pack in ONE big room.

After said prayer together with Jona (thanks to grandma for develop praying habits in Jona since baby)

Jona: Amen (very loud and strong)

Isaac: Men Men

Jona: No, Isaac, it is 'Amen'. Said 'Amen'

Isaac repenting what Jona said: Men Men

Jona: No, said 'Amen' , Isaac

Isaac keep quiet for a moment, then, said with much lower voice: A....men

Jona: Good.....

(Every nite, need to correct Isaac, he,he...guess Isaac know this 'teacher' very fierce lor...sometimes, Isaac just don't want to repeat)

We eat snack and I'm too lazy to throw the plastic bag into dustbin.

Mom: Jona, please help me throw this into dustbin. Mommy tired.

Jona: No, Jona also tired (** roll my eyes, so lazy). Isaac, throw this into dustbin.

Pass it to Isaac.

Little Isaac, grab it and immediately run to kitchen, and open the dustbin cover, and throw it!! Wow, to my surprise, he understand what Jona told him and know where is dustbin. I never teach him that + nanny speak to Isaac in Mandarin...

Jona pee pee in toilet bowl. After that, Isaac walk in and look at the toilet bowl:

Isaac: Dirty..dirty... (ha,ha..lazy Jona, never flush)

Isaac uttering the word and pick up the vocabulary really fast (I'm really impressed with him)...

Ta Ta - Cane, cane (if he purposely throw something on floor or make mistake, he will said...."oh o, ta ta"

Wo wer - Flower

Bird - bird

Ball - Ball (his favorite)

Car - Car (his favourite)

Men men - Amen

Dirty - dirty

mum mum - eat

nen nen - milk

te ter - water

ma ma - mommy

da di - daddy

wo wo - dog

mon - moon

ta yang - sayang

muak - kiss

Thank U, Grandma

Finally, Grandma (my mum) 'contract' has been expired - she agree to babysit Jonathan till he is 3 years old . And, she happily back to my hometown and enjoy her 'Golden' year which I think she absolutely entitle for it.

"Thanks Mum, for your superb help throughout these year esp. in taking care of Jonathan for me"

Even tho it has been only 1 week that I handle my kids + work + housework alone by myself (of course, with the help from daddy - should praise him a bit), I find it really really tiring. And, how I wish my mum will volunteer to help me again.

The obvious part, is my Little Jonathan. He indeed do miss his grandma so much, that inital first few days, in several occasion, he will asked me where 'grandma' before he sleep, or immediate back from daycare, he will said "Mommy, I miss grandma. Where is grandma?" (It really make me feel so sad and helpless. This little boy do miss his grandma most). At one time, he will suddenly said "Mommy, I wan call grandma", and if I don't fulfill his wish, he will keep asked and asked, and please me.

To my surprise, when he talk to his grandma through phone, he seem like have 'adult' conversation. Telling grandma, what he did at school, eat, sleep, and even try to show grandma the craft that he did at school (by putting the picture at the phone - maybe, watching Barney too much; Barney always said " Use your imagination"). Or, maybe, he hint mommy and grandma to change handphone to 3G - where can do the sharing over the phone....

But, overall, I still manage to cope well with 2 kids + work + housework = and the happy part, the kids seem to grow up day by day, by having good relationship among themselves.....

Of course, in my heart, I still do wish grandma will change her mind and come back staying with me and kids after she bored with her life alone in my hometown. If she do came back, I will still continue with doing all housework + handling kids, and she just help me watch over Jonathan daily stuff...

"We really MISS you, Grandma"...
