So yes after that trying morning at the eye centre, we were told that Jah needed to wear glasses for his astigmatism. We figured that we should try and find a place to do it that afternoon since Jah was already ‘in the zone’ and was all for trying out glasses to ‘lock in’ his superhero powers. Continue reading

Grocery Shopping Online – A Busy Mum’s Solution
As a newly-wed couple, grocery shopping on weekends used to be quite therapeutic and it was our way of ‘playing house’. However grocery shopping as a parent/ mum is a whole different ball game. It sort of reminds me of those supermarket game shows where you get 5 minutes to run in and grab everything you want! Except the contestants do not have a 3 year old child trying to buy everything from the chocolate/ snacks section or a 1 year old toddler who attempts to grab everything off the shelves.

I had to google for videos of test conducted in the US and prep him based on that. While at the same time hoping that our processes were similar and as child friendly. Continue reading
Our Precious Moment with Jah – Post Injury
Watching your child enjoying himself in play or while singing a song has got to be every parent’s favorite moment. But it is especially precious when your child has just suffered a head injury and you haven’t seen him smile or talk much in the last 48 hours.
Our precious moment from yesterday (when the pain decided to leave him alone for a few minutes)
Jah convincing me to follow him so that he could take coins from his Papa’s box to fill his own ‘bank’
Jah singing about his new coin collection – the irony of the last line for his Papa though :p
Enjoy your weekend with your loved ones! 🙂
