Day to Day Miracles

We've heard about the 'terrible twos'. The stage where our toddlers have that power struggle, tantrums and the time when they are in the 'me' stage. Well, that's where my li'l boy stands now. It's quite a challenge to let him listen and follow rules. It's also quite a challenge on how to cool him down and play with the other kids.

But on the other hand, there is also a positive side of this stage which I would like to call the 'terrific twos'. This is the stage when they are so cute and loving and giving you endless, hugs, kisses, Thanks yous and I love yous. I would want the "terrible twos" stage to end but I would definitely love the 'terrific twos' to stay. With li'l boys become big, I'm sure there will be less of those display of affection as they get older and older.

Anyways, to understand more of our Baby and children it's best for us to continue to read things about them, their behavior and their development. We can also join forums like babiesbase.com to talk with moms and experts on our concerns and issues with our children.

Praise God for a great blessing today! We went to the Malaysian immigration to renew my Malaysian social visa and it was a breeze! For the past years, we always go to the Malaysian immigration very early ( before the sun rises) to be queue up. When we arrive, the office is usually so crowded already and we would get the last number. We would usually wait for several hours before our number gets called and then, we have to come back after a day or two to collect my visa.

But today was quite different. We went to the office quite late but when we arrived, we still got our priority number and was surprised that the calling of the numbers was quite fast. The office is bigger now with a lot of counters opened to serve the people. When we came, the number being served was number 44 and we got number 74. And surprisingly, we only waited for about 30 minutes for our number to be called! Yes, 30 minutes!! Wow! In the past, it usually takes us half a day to wait to be served.

And another surprise, was that my visa will be processed immediately and can be collected at 1pm the same day. Amazing!

Thank God for a great and stress-free day at the immigration office. Whew! And to celebrate our victory, we ate at Mcdo and had my favorite pancake breakfast! YUM! Thank You Lord!

I've just received the Filipino (Araling Panlipununan) ACE booklets I borrowed from my friend for Tricia's home school ( thanks ate Sar!). I plan to try teaching her Filipino so she can get to understand even a little bit of our National Language. I wonder if she'll be interested with it. Well, I would just have to try huh! :) I'm planning to start her Homeschool at the same time as her Thai school in May. In this way, we can have a regular schedule as my li'l boy will also be in pre school so, I can fully concentrate teaching her.

For the meantime, I'm doing the " I wonder why" series with her. I'm also looking for educational online games but haven't found one yet. We had the Dr. Seuss program before but I just couldn't find it anymore.

I've also heard about the Poptropica Games but I guess I have to wait till she's a bit older for that ( maybe 12 years old) because their games are more catered to the older kids.
