Things Jerry Says #11 – Smart aleck in making.
(Husband munching on some chocolates at 11pm at night and jerry came running out of the room after me because I got fed up with trying to put him into bed after 1 hr. Upon exiting, he sees der munching on some stuff…)
Jerry: papa! What are you eating?
Papa: jerry! Why are you not sleeping?
Jerry: hmm.. because I want to come out and see what you are eating.
Right. This kid.. I think he’s too smart for his own good. Grrrrrrr. I know a lot of you are gonna exclaim. . OMG! So cute!!!
I know. I can feel you all, but I also need some empathy on how my time is wasted doing nothing in the dark for hours and the mission (putting the kid into bed) is not being accomplished. #timenotenough
Am going crazy these days battling bedtimes with this kid. I need some baseball bats to knock him out cold, or does anyone has any brilliant idea to share?
Panda eyes mummy here seriously need some help before i go insane. #sleepdeprived
p.s. Can you also see the smug look on der’s face? I think he is seriously proud that the son managed to stump him for a moment with the answer he gave.

Hi there! Thanks for popping by. I'm Cherie, a ftwm (full-time working mum) to 3 lovely kids (2 boys & a princess) and my motto in life is to BE HAPPY. Sure, life isn't all that smooth but it's the mentality that counts, no? This blog documents my life. Or rather, snippets of my life that has passed me by. I love capturing life memories in the blog and being able to read back and laugh at myself (or anyone). I love to eat (A LOT), travel and paint my own nails so the blog is mostly about that. Is that considered lifestyle? Of cos, the family is also very much an integral part of me so there would be loads of memories about the husband and my kids - Jerry (9yo), Jerome (7yo) and Leia (2.5yo) and everyone else that's close to me. I like documenting the kids' milestones, their growing up years, their achievements (and sometimes, mine), and my struggles and battles with motherhood. It sure ain't easy. I love seeking out good food and travelling, is trigger-happy, love new gadgets, love exploring new places and strives to live life to the fullest. I aspire to travel the world as much as I can, to soak in the different sights across the various continents and visit all the Disneylands in the world (almost there!). Have fun reading and do drop me a comment to say hi! Love, Cherie Lim Find me on Instagram.

Hi Cherie! Always admire you as a working mum. Gotta juggle work and family…. not easy at all! *pat on shoulder*. Have you tried putting them on a routine? Eg. Dinner, shower, milk, talk, sleep.

Hi Jenny! Recently, I have been losing steam… (!) The kids are on a routine ever since they are young. I don’t have an issue with the younger kid, he dozes off quickly, but the older one tends to fight sleep! He can lie in bed in the dark for 1.5 hours.. and still have eyes wide open. I really got to give it to him sometimes.
Thanks for dropping me a note and hopefully, I can ride out this phase soon!
