Babysittin’ :.

I had the baby to myself this afternoon.. It was soo peaceful..

It was the first time since he came home that I actually got to spend a little quality time with him.. He is such a good baby.. He’s only fussy when he’s cold or hungry.. otherwise he’s brilliant.. I could watch him sleep all day..

I panicked a little the first time he cried.. because I’m still a little scared to pick him up..  I just tried anyway, and it was amazing, because in seconds he was cooing in my arms.. I love every little noise he makes.. I love when he’s fidgeting in his sleep.. I love how he’s a mini houdini and still manages to escape to matter how you bundle him up..

So I was just lying next to him, watching the little critter snooze away the afternoon.. He looked so serene.. you can’t help but feel pretty peaceful.. and before long I was asleep next to him.. Ahhh.. it was the best nap I had in ages.. and you wake up to see the most beautiful sight you could ever want to see..

I had to call Zz after that.. and I was telling him all about the best nap ever..  Shall we have three or four, my darling?

I love blissful Sundays like this..

Mother, you’re an inspiration.. :.

I’ve often talked about my Dad, who’s my hero..

My mom.. though we probably don’t get on that well.. is my inspiration..

She is one of the hardest working people I know.. She got herself through her Masters and Doctorate in 3/4 of the the time it took normal people.. and she did it, Magna Cum Laude, alone, in another country, away from her family and beloved children.. How she managed it, I don’t know.. She has a will of iron.. and a stubborn streak to match..

Yeah.. I guess there’s where I get it from..

Her dream is to help the students in Brunei to study better.. It’s been such a big dream, that it’s kinda rubbed off on me a little.. She wants to take the tired, poor masses, yearning to breathe free, and give them better opportunities.. show them that they can succeed when other people say they can’t or label them as stupid or problem students.

Yeah, mom, we don’t get on that often.. but in those rare moments that we do.. We have amazing moments.. I find it scary how much we do have in common.. and it still does surprise me..

Mom, I love you.. and I want to help you achieve your dreams.. because they’re mine too..

Happy Mother’s Day..

Happy Mudder’s Day :.

Happy Mother’s Day!
