Countdown to Play school

We are on a countdown to baby gal joining play school and its such an exciting yet scary feeling for mummy. This morning we went with Samara to her new school and just wanted her to have a feel of the place and its amazing how she just blended in. In the few minutes we were there, she had already participated in celebrating another child's 4th birthday, drank hot chocolate and she had made a friend who will be in her class. It was comforting to see her just blend in, occasionally coming to check if mummy is still in the office but no fuss. Time to leave she went to give a big hug to her new friend who is 2years 2months.

She officially joins next week Wednesday and can't wait to see her develop more. She will be in school from 8.15a.m. to 2.30p.m. Am told to pack a healthy snack and that is when mummy realises she needs other mums who have gone before her to give tips on what they pack for the little ones. Am so glad that there are also swimming classes on Friday and knowing how baby gal loves water am sure she will have great fun. We thank God for this milestone and am coming to terms with my baby has become of age and will now have a third voice...teacher..I only trust that what we have instilled in her for the last two years will set a good foundation as she opens this new page.

Mummies, please give me tips on what snacks and drinks you pack for your toddlers? Also apart from bata where else can I get white shoes for sports? Yes am that green..ha ha , I love this life

Unconditional love

As I went home last yesterday, I heard the song 'In harms way'  by BeBe Winans, Rhett Lawrence, Margaret Bell-Byars. When listening to music, I want to know the lyrics,what the song is communicating and how it applies in my life. This song reminds me of God's unconditional love, even when I do not deserve it, even when I have given up , even when he knows all He knows about me, he doesn't let go of me. That is just amazing. Undying love you've given to me Seen in me things I would never have seen I don't understand why you care so much, it's all a mystery Time and time again I ask myself What have I done to deserve such wealth The price you paid, I could never repay your generosity Chorus: In wanting to save me In order to save the day Because of love you placed yourself In harm's way It's truly beyond me Left without a word to say What kind of love would place itself In harm's way? What kind of love would place itself In harm...

Weight-Part 2

Once the baby is breastfeeding and starts to wean, the eyes shift from the mother to the child. Common comments ‘ what are you feeding your baby on? They are growing so well. During baby clinics, pressure mounts because your child's weight gain doesn't seem to match that of another or a friend's child. Next time you take the baby for vaccination open your ears and eyes. It’s like people are sizing each other up, or trying to boost their image especially if their baby “seems” to be ahead of others. I know this is a sensitive topic but all am saying is, yes the mother/parents have worked pretty hard to ensure that their baby is growing well and that is ok and we appreciate the good job done, but hey do we stop to think about that other woman/family who is feeling like a failure because as per the society as long as your baby is not growing as well as we expect, the mother( most times) isn't doing a good job? Do we ask ourselves why isn't that child not growing as...

Looking back at where I am today and where the 8-4-4 system had placed me, I thank God that He has a purpose and plan for all of us. At times I wonder whether I will be able to tell my kids that I was never in the top 10 position in class. Most of our parents have told us how they were position 1 in their class and I always wonder who was last? Think about it. I envy today’s young generation. Having being raised in Kericho and Nakuru in my younger days, I didn’t know English too well and at 6 years I was speaking broken English. My first birthday was so memorable and exciting in that I could not say birthday and would welcome my friends and visitors by saying ‘welcome to my passday’. Oh well ,thank God that we catch up quick and I went to Milimani Primary and later Nairobi Primary and my report forms would read “ Sylvia is very playful and can do better if she settled down" or "slight imporvement but can do better". Class 8 came and I scored 432/700, and that was ok...
