Back To School

Baby gal has been on school holiday since August 3rd , for about a month and it has been such fun to hang out with her. We have noted such growth, development and maturity in her at times its scary. She seems to have a mind of her own. Can you believe this baby we brought home the other day can refuse to wear a certain outfit. She has become so girly and is interested in wearing dresses so that she can go round and round with them. And please may the dress be pink please.

Oh you do not make promises and not fulfil because she now remembers and will remind you. Well , after our move to our new home, we have taken 2 bus rides with her and it was so much fun. Everyone must have known it was her first ride because she pointed out at other buses, other vehicles, the motor bikes and I loved every bit of it because she was able to say that not everyone has a car...the only challenge came when she slept and I had to carry her out of the bus..but little sacrifices for lifes lessons not bad.

So its back to school for her from tomorrow and well she is growing, the clothes are getting shorter and the shoes smaller and so we decided last week to buy her shoes. The wise parents we are went picked a shoe and presented them to baby gal in the evening. There was no love at first sight, she did not even want them near her...even to try the size..well lucky for us they were slightly big and we had to return them and exchange with something else. So Saturday, we went to the supermarket to exchange and believe me the girl was not interested, after a few tears and threats she accepted to try but her foot is too small and well because there was no refund.we had to do some house shopping .

Today, we confirmed that her current school shoes are indeed small and being wiser today, we drew her foot on a piece of paper and I have got one that I like.Please note , I like so when I get home later today..we shall confirm with our"little teenager". but all in all, she reminds me more and more about my beloved. They love the nice things in life and are very particular about what they wear. Infact yesterday , I was telling Alex that Baby J , needs to be like me for balance, if the three of them are of same character, mummy will be out numbered but I don't mind.

So tomorrow, its back to school and we also looking forward to that experience. Time goes by quite fast, it will be third term for baby gal...and we say thank you Lord. Next month , we shall celebrate 1 year since the corerctive surgery. We have seen such change and this girl eats until we just have to stop her at times..how things change:-))

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...
