Buggy Board

Bought something new.

Well, not really new, it's second hand. I think this is one of the very few items IN MY LIFE that's second hand. But it's in good condition! Conceptually, it's a great product. Jolie is always fighting with her baby brother on who gets to sit in the stroller. With this new addition, Jolie can now stand at the back while her brother sit in the front. Everybody's happy! Well, except for the poor adult pushing.

1. It made our stroller difficult to manoeuvre. Our Maclaren stroller is like the BEST. It's agile and can easily manoeuvre out of any tight corner or rough terrain. But with the attached Buggy Board, somehow the weight of the toddler on the board made it very hard to turn. Many times we had to bang around and kick the wheel a couple of times before it can turn.

2. It's damn heavy! With the extra person standing at the back, the stroller is now more heavy to push around. Can you imagine going up slope?

3. It's noisy. It's supposed to have a rope that hold up the board when not in use. Unfortunately the person selling it can't find it anywhere, so it's super noisy, especially when going over uneven flooring. So embarrassing!

Even with the disadvantages, it's still effective when you want to move both children quickly from point A to point B. I use it to sent Jolie to school everyday, except when it's raining. Good workout too.

Karate Jolie

Jolie has been very into a new cartoon called The Amazing World of Gumball. It's a very silly cartoon and sometimes violent. But even I love it. It reminds me of the Simpsons. With a very dumb Dad, a smart Mom, silly kids with alot of silly tantics. Sometimes, the show ends with a good lesson on morals, friendship and family values. Sometimes only... Overall it's just good laughs!!!

After watching one episode on Taekwondo, she began to do all sorts of Taekwondo moves herself.

Double trouble

Took both kids to see the Pediatrician this morning. Jo has been coughing quite badly while Jay has not slept well for 2 nights in a roll cause he hasn't pooped for 2 days. I can't function like this! Caring for the little one at night at waking up at 7 plus in the morning for the big one. It's tough.

So its the usual suspect for Jo, a bad cold with coughing and runny nose. Doc wants me to record down everytime I give her the Ventolin cause she wanna know if her lungs are developing well. Ok... another thing to add to my to-do list.

For Jay, the doc used a Q-tip to wiggle wiggle inside his anus. Didn't work, so in the end had to resort to using a "bullet". Well, there was alot of screaming, but it got Jay pooping before we left the Doc's office. So that's great. Can tell that he felt better after the poop. He's so quiet and peaceful in his harness, and was asleep even before we got into a taxi.

2 kids, double the joy, but also double and headache when they are not well. (Not forgetting double the medical bill! ) But the relief of seeing your child feel better is truly priceless.

That afternoon both Mama and baby finally could take a good long nap! Zzz...
