Welcome To My Hood......Motherhood: What a crazy week

It all started from the day before Deepavali, we attended my Cousin's Wedding. It's nice to chitchat and have a family reunion, cause I hardly see any of my relatives. But during these kinds of occasions you will tend to have a relative who will be all too eager to show of their grandchild's skills. The conversation went like this,

Relative: Can Dhiren walk yet?
Me: A bit lor. Still needs a bit of support.
R: Wah! My granddaughter younger than him 1 week can run around already.
M: Wah so clever, good lah.
R: See see...she can do twinkle twinkle little star, she also can give kisses and she is very easy to feed, eat almost anything.....can your boy do this ah?........that ah?.....
(It goes on and on. So I quickly went back to my table. But then she came to our table and show all her skills again to my Hubby)

OMG. I never knew the world is so competitive even for a 1 year old. I wonder when I was small did my parents go through this as well. But to my Hubby and my surprise, Baby Dhiren started walking by himself the next day, on Deepavali...Must be the festival of light, the triumph of good over evil (not that I said that my relative is evil). Eh okay lah the good triumph over the kiasu.

He been walking up and down ever since

Okay back to the Crazy week. After the wedding, was Deepavali, didn't do much only have my parents and my sis over for lunch, ate some murukku and very nice indian sweets (will blog about this next). Then the following day, Hubby and I left for Cameron Highlands for a well deserved break. There for 4 days (will blog about this too later), it was so so nice and relaxing. Then came back on Friday, rested for a day and come Sunday, the Sun Motorhunt day. I signed up for my first treasure hunt. It was so exciting, tiring and so fast paced that I don't even have time to breath. It was an eye-opening for me and will blog about that also.
So for just a short period of 7 days, there's so many things happened. so I'm taking my time to recover from all this and will blog about it soon.

Yeah, people just like to compare but don't bother lar... Each kids are different. The most important thing is to have confidence in our kids.; November 8, 2008 at 10:25 AM

Ann said...: Yes, all this competition at 1 year is very trying!

I always say perhaps the other couple is just proud of their kid!

Anyway, it is our baggage as parenst to deal with and not push the child.

They grow up too soon as it is!

And my, that was a whole lot of activities. Looking forward to reading more about it soon!; November 10, 2008 at 9:40 AM
