.My kids are with my mom, my husband is working tonight, and I finally have some “alone time”!
But, hold on, who’s that in the crib? Oh right, the newborn!
Being a mom to newborn number 3 is a stark contrast to my days as a first-time mom… time ’alone’ now really translates to time ’alone with the baby’. I remember being a first time mom, and needing to spend time ‘alone’… it was really hard to take care of a baby.
Upon reflection, I don’t think that it was hard to take care of the baby, I think the hard part was adjusting to the fact that now my life is no longer my own… Here is this little person who depends on me for all his needs, who needs me for comfort, who can sometimes only be pacified by me… that was the most responsibility I ever had!
Today, my newborn is a source of comfort for me, I hold him when I am ready to relax, I play with him for my entertainment… Now, my newborn is my stress-relief.
Three children make ’alone-time’ a little impossible! But at least now I am not wishing that my baby is growing up faster than he needs to, I am appreciating the fact that he can’t sit up yet, than he can’t crawl yet, that he can’t walk yet, that he can’t talk yet, that all he needs is milk… well, you get the picture!

.My kids are super heroes! Well, at least the preschooler and toddler are.
The preschooler came up with the names himself… and I did not even realize that they had super hero names until my husband pointed it out! Guy thing?!
Now, they go running from room to room pretending to do “super hero” activities… actually the preschooler does most of it and the toddler just follows behind!
Too much TV?!

.Parents love those 2 words… well actually; more like “give me a kiss”, but those 2 words makes a better title!
I love to kiss my newborn… babies are so cute… they smile when you kiss them, or sometimes even giggle… they just adore the attention. Not so great… I kissed him just as he opened his mouth, opened it as wide as he could… like babies do, and out came the spit with little chunky white stuff!
The newborn seems to vomit a lot, and my eldest son, who loves to kiss him always exclaims “ewww, you smell stinky, you need a bath!”
Kissing my preschooler involves a lot of deals and negotiations… Sometimes I just like to grab him and give him lots and lots of smooches… One day he said to me, “Mummy, I don’t like your kisses”. So, I had to make a deal with him that I would only give him 1 hug and 1 kiss…
My toddler has to be the most fun these days! Being 2 years old… old enough to understand, but still young enough to enjoy being “babied”. I give him lots and lots of smooches too… and he just blushes and smiles… and he’s so cute… and there’s no fear of vomit!
At least I’m still in higher standings than my husband… who has to usually beg and beg for his kisses!

.Before you forget how much you love me, and love my kisses, and love my hugs… Before my smiles stop making you laugh… Before you can talk and say things like “I don’t like you anymore”… Before you can run away from me… Before you can spit juice in my face… Before you grow up as the third brother and think that I love you the least…
You are my favourite today!

.I was listening to my toddler and preschooler having a conversation… yes, when they think that no one is watching them, they actually play pretty good together and not just fight!
They were pretending that they were driving a car…
preschooler: Let’s go to grandma’s house.
toddler: Why?
preschooler: Because we have to get food.
toddler: Why?
preschooler: Because she have food for us.
toddler: Why?
preschooler: Because we need to.
toddler: Why?
preschooler: You are asking too many questions!! Stop asking all those questions!
toddler: Why?
