May 2nd, 2009 · 1 Comment · Uncategorized

Wondering why I had not been updating my blog recently?  Well, from 2nd May, we are officially “maid-less”! We tried to ask Del to stay because Liz is still so young, it will be difficult for me to change and train a new helper, but she was more keen to look for “expat” families.  So [...]

The stress of having the family dynamics changed showed itself.  Even though I’m quite sure it is what all kids does, but i just found it more pronounced in Donald and Toria ever since Liz was born. Donald would “disturb” Toria greatly, grab her stuff and make her chase him around the entire room.  Toria [...]
