Being a mum for the past twelve months

As I'm preparing for Javier's 1st birthday, I am also recalling the past 365 days.
This is a poem I want to dedicate to my son. I read it online.

Hey baby boy
You bring me joy
Every time I look at you
All the little things you do
I'm so glad God gave me you
I wake every morning just to look in your eyes
Every single morning I get a different surprise
I pray everyday that God blesses us both
But I pray even more that God blesses you most.
A Baby Poem by Tonya Y. Hiers from Family Friend Poems

Being a mom, to u, my son has been the most wonderful thing I have ever done.
I doubt there's anything more wonderful than this
for you are God's gift to me.

As a mom, I did so much, much more than I've ever done.
I've held ur hand and clean ur poo
At every opportunity I could

Ur precious smile, ur little kiss,
Ur little hand that touches my feet.
They touch my heart like none other.

In this world, in my eyes,
you will always be that little baby.
I will always be here to give support,
i promise you eternal love.
I'll be here when u call.

I pray to God that you will be
A cheerful boy with compassion
A worthy man with integrity
A faithful husband with loyalty
A proud father to enjoy all you've brought us.

Just don't ever forget that you are my child.

My Birthday Invite

My Lunar Birthday on 28th October 2008

I am one!! Tonight, I celebrate my one year old birthday with my mummy, daddy, xiao yi po and eka. Mummy and daddy bought me a nice birthday cake (mini) and xiaoyi po bought me a tricycle. I loved it a lot. Eka helped to clean up my mess. Thank you and I'm very happy today!!

My first enrichment class is Kindermusik

Today is 26th October, 2 weeks from my birthday and my mummy has finally found a suitable enrichment class for me. Mummy attended the trial class at KIndermusik with me and enjoyed the music and actions. The theme for this term is Feathers and we were given a bag of goodies to bring back. There's a music CD - all feathers songs and 8 pictures of birds that mummy wants to put on the wall, hoping that I don't tear them down... Hahaha...I was alright until towards the end of the class. As usual, I want to explore beyond the walls of the class and wandered around. Teacher Catilyn was slightly stiff and din dance as much as mummy hoped for. However, no worries, mummy will do some more work with me at home. I was so tired from the singing and dancing that I am still asleep now. That's 1 hour of nap! Well, I'll continue with my sleep and tell u more later.

My first time at Go Go Bambini

Today was a wet day and mummy had finished her final report for her studies. She literally dumped me at grandma's everyday for two days and I only got to see her at night. She was feeling guilty about not spending enough time with me, I guess that made her decide to bring me to Go Go Bambini today, despite the rain.
I had fun with some 6 other babies in the soft play area. I still didn't want to walk though I enjoyed climbing all over the space. The balls were beautiful too. Mummy ordered cheese balls for me to eat, but I always couldn;t wait to join back into the play area.
There was a rude gor gor (big bro) who threw a ball at me purposely and he used quite some force. Mummy gave me a kiss and I was alright again. He was rude, but his maid was not able to make him say sorry and mummy thought it's just impossible, so we continued to have fun instead of worrying about him.
No matter what, I enjoyed myself a lot and mummy promised to bring me to Fidgets next time.
Whee!!! I'm waiting...
