Mummy, cannot see!

A funny incident happened last night, and I wanted to add this to my virtual bank of memories about my kid, Jerry. I was prompting him to go to the toilet last night to pee.. and when he finally did, he went into the toilet and came out almost immediately, pants intact, shouting the following..

“Mummy, cannot see!”

Errr, okayyy.. and I turned away. The next thing I know, he pulled down his pants outside the toilet and went back in to pee.

That’s when it struck me. He meant “cannot see” as in the toilet is too dark and he cannot see anything inside. I kept thinking that he meant that I cannot peep at him! Totally silly!

I tried to get Jerry to pose a picture so that I can blog about it and let the husband who is on reservist share this moment.. and then, guess what? This kid insisted on having his picture taken too! And he went up to the doorway and strike me a pose. And burst into tears when he realises that I am not whipping out my phone to take a picture of him. Awwwww…..

Jerome strikes a pose for a picture too!

Too cute. I so, so, so love my boys. I have always wanted a girl, but you know what? I think boys can be a lot of fun too. Love it when they give me big squishy hugs. I love it when they play together. I love it when they are having fun together or chasing each other down in the house. So much fun!

Do you get such “Duh” moments too?

P.s. I am still solo parenting this week, and the blog is a little too silent for my liking. But there is a time for everything. Right now, I am clocking in all those precious moments with my kids and I have seen so much more in the past weeks that I have spent with them together. It sure is tiring, but I gotta do it anyhow and doing it positively makes it a much better experience. 🙂

Meanwhile, do check on those blog archives on Jerry or on Jerome. Am pretty sure there’ll be some gems. 

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.
