Caleb's Undies

Caleb has been going diaper-free for more than a month now. Of course, I still need to put diaper on him during his nap time and night time. But even that, on a few occasions, he woke up with his diaper dry, *dancing in glee* - that means I can put on the same diaper on him the next time. Save money! :)

Initially he just wear pant at home and when we went out for meal, I'd put on diaper for him. A few times during meal time, while syiok-syiok eating, suddenly he blurted out "Mami, shh-shh". Jeez, potong stim betul la.... But that's our responsibility and we must persevere until the end. Although I can just ask him to pee into his diaper. If I do that, what kind of message I'm sending to him? He will have this thinking running through his mind: 

Should I pee in my diaper or shouldn't I pee in my diaper?

Why sometimes I can pee in my diaper but sometimes mami cane me if I pee-ed?

Or is it at home I must pee in potty but when we went outside I can just pee on diaper? 

See? Confusing right? I'm confused too. How on earth a 3 years old toddler could understand?

So, now he's off diaper when we went out for shopping and eating out. That's when it got me thinking, without the diaper, wearing pant for him is kinda weird. His bird is hanging free, can run here and there and I caught him a few times clutching his birdie as if it is really flying out from his pant... Hahaha.... And it is dangerous when he wearing pant with zip, those jeans material la. I was so paranoid when I did the zipping, keep on pushing "it" go inside.... Lolzzzz....!! I'm sure you will too right?

Finally I bought a stash of underwear for him. You hear me right. UNDERWEAR. For a 3 years old kid....How old are you when you wore your first underwear? For me I have no idea, but definitely not when I'm 3 years old.

Taa-daa!! Caleb's undies! and all of them have Tom and Jerry's printing....muahahaha....

I got him XS size. The smallest available. They are so so so tiny. So cute! I can't help myself and I was laughing everytime I folding his undies. It just like the size of my palm and anyone of you who know me, my palm isn't very big. :)

This crazy mother even asked his son to pose for the camera. Hahaha.... I asked him to hold on to his shirt while I'm snapping away.

Now he is happily running all over the house with his underwear and most important, he is comfortable in it because the birdie can't run away anymore.

Hahahahaha...............Jeez!

Stir-fried pumpkin with dried shrimp

I cooked this dish for lunch today.


Stir-fried pumpkin with dried shrimps.

This is my first time cooking time and to tell the truth, it was DELICIOUS! :) I do have my mom's genes...ahem ;)

Ingredients:
- Half pumpkin or more (or sufficient to feed your whole army - for my case, my whole army just consists of me and Caleb.....duhhhh), cut in cubes
- A handful of dried shrimp, soften in warm water and drained
- 1 clove of garlic, chopped
- 1 tablespoon of light soy sauce
- Sugar to taste
- 2 tablespoon of cooking oil

1. First, heat up wok with cooking oil
2. Saute garlic and dried shimp until fragrant.
3. Put in light soy sauce and almost immediate add in pumpkin cubes and stir fry for a minute or so. The smell emitted is soooooo nice.
4. Add 1 teapoon of water and cover the lid. Do not add too much water or it will spoil the whole taste.
5. Cook over a slow fire. Once in a while open up the lid and add in another teaspoon of water, stir it. Cover back the lid.
6. Cook until the pumpkin is tender
7. Add in sugar to taste.
8, Serve hot with rice.


Caleb keep on coming in the kitchen and asked "what's that? what's that?" I said "Pumpkin" and he said "Caleb want eat pumpkin."

Hahaha.....

After the fifth time he said he wanna eat pumpkin, I let him lick the spatula instead. He looked satisfied and walked away.

Phewww...

Served with hot rice and half slice of fried Red Snapper. Oh, you wouldn't believe it how much that tiny little piece cost me. One whole slice is RM10.50! And that half pathetic looking fish on the table is RM5.25!

Now a day, nothing is cheap. Sigh....
