Cooking up a storm

Mommy was pleasantly surprised that for once, I left her alone to stay in the kitchen and prepare dinner without any interference.

She made egg tofu with Enoki mushrooms and stir-fried broccoli with carrots;

healthy cooking is key, so she baked chicken wings seasoned with turmeric;

while I made a big mess all by myself in the living room!

My space

Janelle always teases Andre that he is Mama's boy. As Janelle does not want to share a room with him anymore and he is too afraid to sleep alone, he now sleeps with us after we moved to Bangkok. It is alright with Mommy but not Daddy, since I have to share their super king bed even though Andre's current bed is actually meant for me. Now I still squeeze between Mommy and Daddy, and when I wake up every so often because of a nightmare or to drink milk, I tend to wake everyone up. While this arrangement is more environmentally friendly - we only need to turn on 2 air-conditioners, in Janelle's and our bedroom - but soon, Andre has to go back to his room when I need more space to sleep by myself...

Love is in the air...

This is the first photograph featuring just the three of us...
Flipping through albums filled with Janelle and Andre's childhood photos,
I realized I did not have a photo taken with just Daddy and Mommy.

Mommy beamed like a first timer with a child this small.
She has diverted all her love to me; I feel so sorry for Daddy.
Married for 17 years, parents for over 13 years, doing it all again now.
We can never understand the responsibilities of parenthood,
Until we become parents ourselves.

Mommy really enjoys spending time with me.
She is cherishing the experience of being a first time mother again...
