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

My Journey with Caleb's Family

A friend requested me to share my story on the journey we walked with Caleb's family. So below is a very long blog on that over 1 month. Am not sure what is in store for us ahead but this far it has been God. After our experience with Atrial Septal Defect(ASD) through our daughter Samara, I felt within me a call to look for people to partner with regarding kids with heart issues. So In January this year, I checked the net and bumped into a local NGO. The organization basically deals with kids with heart defects from poor families. I thought it was a noble call and contacted the organization. They were fast to respond and I visited them alone and over the weekend on a Saturday with my family. On the Saturday we went, we met Caleb and his parents. This was end of January and they were discussing with the founder of the organization about how to raise airfare for them to travel to India, first week of February. I held Caleb briefly in my arms and his mum kept saying one day her...

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...

Day 2

 After receiving news of death of a loved one, as one is grieving there are many things to be done regarding burial:where to bury, when to bury and how to bury. In Africa, relatives and the community start trickling in to comfort the family.  When a baby dies sometimes the family may have to decide whether to bury or allow hospital to do so.Sometimes the family may not know what to do or may just feel overwhelmed. Either way it's emotionally draining to make such decisions. I kept negotiating in my mind, this was not the plan, we were to take Jaden home not look for a funeral home andsite to bury him. Our family and friends supported us by accompanying us to hospital, pay bills, transfer baby to funeral home and assisted Alex in processing documents. They helped ask questions, ensure things were handled in a proper way. We never felt alone.  It is kind of the community to come visit the bereaved,it assures them of the love and support. Sometimes it can be overwhelming but...
