My 31st Month Old: Favorite Word



My 31-month-old is probably getting more conversational and having more and more vocabularies. Let’s start with “Please” and “Thank You”, again? Yes because I love how these words come out naturally from her even if you’re the one asking a favor. Like when I say, “Chloe can you please hand me my towel?” She would happily respond with a yes and would even utter the sweetest words, “Thank You” in her most charming sometimes funny accent. Say Noah-say! Awe!!

While I’m still learning a discipline strategy that works best for me and Chloe, I’m not aware I’ve been responding to her unpleasant actions with a quick NO most of the time. That said, she rapidly picked up the word and I’m tagging it as her grand favorite.

And to be quite truthful, most of the time this month she loves to play a game called, “No matter how genuinely enthusiastic your requests are I will still answer you with a blunt NO”. Yep, it will take a lot of repetition yourself before you reached your limit and the answer is still – No!  Why? Because it’s her new favorite word and she’s discovering her own free will. (Haha, I hope so.) And if that’s the case, well Daddy and Mommy get mentally drained before the day’s end. Lol.

On the other news,


We just moved into our new place near my new job and Chloe loves our new neighborhood.  Every morning before I go to work I walk her to Victoria Garden, take a photo, and sip on my coffee while she plays on the swing. I love that there are quite a few parks and recreation areas scattered around our place providing children and mommies like me with fresh air and healthy outdoor activities. I also appreciate that my working schedule lets me spend my mornings with my little one and back home before she goes to bed at night. Thank God for small favors!





Thanks a lot for reading!

Irresistible Me Diamond Flat Iron Review: Is it worth it?

I started using flat irons since I was 18 years old (well, that was 12 years ago?) and I’m amazed at how the industry of hair straighteners had come. Man, I think we're missing out on some great deal. Flat iron over the years, We all know the humble beginnings of hair comb or some may call them hair thongs which are made of two rods heated to straighten the hair. I never get to use this one as I was introduced to the second generation of hair straighteners and that was using a standard home clothes iron. Nah, I mean the basic flat irons made with metal plates and few heat settings. Not until the early 2000s when I saw this model with ceramic plates that most people use today. Ceramic is by far the most popular material for this product as it is both inexpensive and actually safer compared to the clothing iron or heating rods back in days. Depending on your hair type, ceramic plates are believed to lock in moisture and protect hair color. But with a lot of this model...

Simple Mother's Day Celebration

My persona has changed since I gave birth to Chloe and you may be wondering how much adjustment I am dealing with? I’m talking about a massive 360 degrees turn of personality from young-and-self-centered-me to a-feeling-40-year-old-lady who have a say to almost everything (solicited or not)! In short I’m from blah to blah blah blah and blah. Lol! Everyone who knows me will tell you how extremely quiet I am. When asked about certain topic or opinion I’m completely mum thinking that whatever I have to say wouldn’t matter anyway, because well, I’m afraid I lack the experiences and guts. But I realized, with a new responsibility in mind I can do something truly great in this lifetime. I can be the voice of the voiceless through my writing. That’s when I took my blogging to a whole new level a.k.a the annoying proud parent. I think Chloe wants me to die with sweetness ayie :) And this mother’s day I want to give emphasis and address the poor health care (OR THE LAC...

Amazing Fun Time in the Bath with Pout Care's Best Products

Hi Mommies, Is shower time always a struggle with your toddler? Here are few tricks I borrowed from other mommies that might help you turn bath time into a super fun and amazing mommy-baby bonding :) When Chloe refuses to take a shower, I try to make it fun by adding bubbles and her favorite toys in the tub. Once she sees me carrying her toys and towel to the shower room, she will follow right away. I even squeeze a little bit of shampoo for extra bubbles and splash it happily just to keep her busy. I sing silly songs, nursery rhymes, play ball games and pretend like we are swimming in a big wide pool. But a few weeks ago I was in a dilemma with Chloe's thinning hair due to hair breakage and hair fall. Her hair tends to get dry so I try to get away from applying shampoo straight to her hair and managed to use a wet washcloth when rinsing instead of directly pouring water to her head. Then, inst...
