A new space I've shifted towww.yveon.com/lilsnoozeHop on over.And update your links! :) Old and now When I read news of Mr YSL's passing, I knew this would happen.In the depths of my memorybank, I somehow recalled my mum having a YSL bag.When I asked her about it, she said she threw or gave it away cos according to her, I said it was old-fashioned. Nooooooooooooo! I'm sure I was 14 years old and didn't know any better then!Vintage. The word is "vintage"!! Ouch.So I sought distraction with the more-current offering ::See only. No action. And its seven While daddytehpeng remembers affectionate moments, I choose to highlight BBnat's first experience at the hawker centre.He's 7 months old and he went to the hawker centre for the first time over the weekend.I have to admit when it comes to outside dining, we will opt for restaurants or take-away to eat at home. Not that we are atas but they are more baby-friendly. Hello, need room to manoeuvre stroller and a place where nursing in public is not frowned-upon or worse, treated as meal-time entertainment.And to add to the excitement of his first-time, he had to do a poopy.Which resulted in a frenzied mummy trying to change his diaper there and then with tehgrandma trying to keep him still. Thankfully, we were sitting at the corner so no one else was treated to the full attack of visual and smell of his poo.And while we were at it, we might as well change him out of his stained lfc romper (explosive poopy business!).That was when his tolerance for being "detained" lying down has reached its capacity and he had to sit up for a breather, resulting in a little naked baby sitting on mummy's lap before I pulled on a new set of bodysuit for him.Remind me to tell this story at his wedding. :) B.A.G. As the (bag) saying goes...When in Rome, do as the Romans do buy Miu Miu.When in Paris, buy Louis Vuitton.Which is what splatpotato did.These 2 LoVelies (from THE Paris mothership, no less) came home with my bag and they are looking for good homes bag-closets.And definitely at a better-than-SG-boutique price.Epi Jasmin (Ivorie) ::Mini Lin Speedy ::If you are interested, or know someone who is interested, send all enquiries to potatoplot@gmail.com (He's away from SG 9-11 Jun).*sigh*These are the 2 LoVelies I don't mind dangling on my arm but, I need to stop give due attention to my baby.Lest I entertain thoughts of acquiring them as well so soon after, I should start B.A.G - Bag Anonymous Group. A last It was an early start to the day for my swan song event at the new swanky hotel, no less.Service was impressive. Importantly, the event went smoothly, that's all that I care.I had a short "this is our last event together" kinda chat with the colleague from another department who usually works on the hospitality aspects of high-level events.On hindsight, her attention to details which might seem unimportant to us goes towards making the event a greater experience for our clients.And for that, I understand she's worth her salt (unlike some hot potato huffing and puffing hot air).And I really like what she said to me :: Whatever you do, just pray and obey. Whatever we do, is not for men, but for His glory.Amen. salah.com Part of the fun of online shopping is waiting for the parcel to arrive, tearing the box open and happily digging through the stuff you've ordered.Almost like opening up a present. Technically speaking, though you know what you've ordered (or if your memory fails you, like mine, you can't exactly remember what's in the package), you've not seen the items before.Quite a different experience from shopping in the malls.Because of the element of surprise.And surprised I was, as I took out the bag from the box last night.IT was a DIFFERENT GREEN from the picture.Instead of the dull dark green (olive green?), it was a much brighter shade of green.Tehpeng somehow managed to convince me to carry it to work today (although he did laugh upon seeing it last night too!).tehpeng :: Give it a chance. Maybe, just maybe, you'll like the bag cos of the erm...space. Ok, the bag is quite roomy.Why.did.I.not.click.on.the.black.one?The good news is 1) the other stuff are ok (*phew*) and 2) tehpeng now sees the difference/quality (finally) of the Bottega woven leather. Hee. :P Resistance is not that futile Is it another weekend already?Well, it's the 2nd weekend of GSS and I've yet to hit it.Yes, I've been good and resisted ALOT of temptations, according to the Singaporean list of pastimes.For shopping::Instead of Taka, I opted to head to Tanglin Mall after my osteo visit for necessities. We bought what we really needed (and nothing more!) from Motherworks. We walked into Chateau de Sable and resisted buying more clothes for BBnat. Which is quite a feat cos the clothes are really just oh-so-gorgeous, especially the girls section which made me want to have a baby girl almost immediately.I'm loving Tanglin Mall. It's a good size crowd for a Sat late morning and the foodcourt is not crowded (possibly cos the expat crowd tend to go for the cafes for their brekkie instead). I found Paddy's The Australian Concept and like that it's good-food-at-good-value-with-no-fuss. Will definitely be back for more.Plus, there is Jasons Market Place where it's groceries haven. I like that they stock much more variety than good-ole NTUC which adds to the experience of going down each aisle. And I finally found organic butternut squash (which I've honestly not heard of till I saw it in Annabel Karmel's book) for BBnat to enjoy this week.For food ::As we are kinda feeling like we are still susceptible to falling ill again, I had to say "No" to bw's offer of durian supper on Friday night (sobs) and "No" (again) to shutterbug's invite to chilli crabs on Sat evening.We even made chrysanthemum tea at home, for the first time.We ended up at Tampopo with bw on Sat night (since the rain washed away our initial plans of exploring the Southern Ridges). The blackpig ramen is still as yummy though I felt thoroughly disappointed with the normal grade blackpig katsu we ordered. It wasn't as tender as the last time I had it. :/And tonight, since I'm still into the whole steaming-style-food, I googled around and found this Steamed pork ribs recipe.Again, my chef-helper prepared the dish (and tehpeng's special order of fried egg with prawn&onions)We love it, it's so sweet and delish.Having written it all done, I reckon I didn't have that bad a weekend, despite resisting all the temptations.So anyone resisted (buying/eating) anything this weekend? :) 六月天 It's June (already!!) and it sure is an exciting month.I start my new job mid-month.And tehfamily welcomes another addition.No no. I'm not pregger again. It's tehsis' princess, our niece.I hope BBnat makes a good elder brother to her. making sounds Much as I don't want to check against the list of milestone developments for a 6 mth old, I can't help it (especially since it's emailed to me weekly!).I think we are more than happy and thrilled that he's able to hoist himself up, stand very steadily and walk around the playpen a few rounds (with support from hands on the railing). He's my little muscle-man!In the other area of speech development...well, there's definitely much room for exploration. He is rather "talkative" with his babbling. Even if everyone says boys tend to talk much later than girls. My concern is that his babbling consists of non-word-sounding stuff, such as "eh eh eh" or "uh uh uh" (Hmmm...quite phonics actually).Not exactly "mama" or "dada" sounding. :P But of course, everything that he babbles amuses us much.And just now, his random babbling had "OLE" in it!!!!We were all tickled.Espeically daddytehpeng, as you can all imagine.Now, we wait for a repeat performance but he is back to his usual dolphin-like babbling. web3.0 Immerse tehpeng's IT & a dash of my babbling writing to the smorgasbord of Ron's photography, you get an enhanced viewer experience over at eye-deas.comAs with all websites, user comments are welcome to improve on the interface and web-experience, so send your comments to shutterbugps :: Keke, this 2005 alumni actually still made it to the site.And no, it was not a pre-requisite to our assistance. :P A blog-worthy moment If you can relate to this, like I did, you are a true-blue blogger! :) For mum Babysis presented mum with a scrapbook-like-poster of family photos.Birthday present.Which surprised (and touched) mum very much.It was really a nice and sweet gesture, seeing that she's been busy going to school every.single.day for classes even though it's already the school holidays.This totally beats my lunch-treats. :) Taste better than it looks For sometime now, I've been wanting to try making the steamed herbal chicken dish.I looked at those readymix herbal packets and saw MSG listed as one of the ingredients. Which sort of defeats the purpose of making the dish for the nutritional value. Well, one can't expect much herbal goodness coming from a $2.50 packet.So I googled and this recipe seems easy enough. Plus, it's tried and tested.When I look through the list of herbs, they all sound like what my mum use for the soups/herbal stuff she makes.I showed her the list and true enough, she has almost all the herbal ingredients and packed them for me.At that moment, the fridge really became my 药材店.Much as I wanted to experiment the recipe, dinner tonight was prepared by my helper. She was so enthusiastic and efficient, the dish was fully prepared when I reached home.But I ain't complaining.Though the dish doesn't look salivating, it's simple tasty goodness. Golden words of advice When my mum's friends presented me with a tupperware hamper as birthing present, consisting of tupperwares of all sizes and colours, she told me :: You'll find them useful.At that point in time, being a new mum to a baby who doesn't seem to need anything (not even milk bottles cos I was nursing him direct), I can only think :: Where to find space in my kitchen cabinet to put all these?Fast forward 6 months later. The tupperwares are really useful!Mum is (almost) always right! Huh huh huh.After freezing the pureed food in these ice cube trays (which we ordered online), I pop the iced foodcubes into tupperwares for storage in the freezer (enough for the week's supply). Each day I will just take out the required food cubes into smaller tupperwares for thawing. In time to come when BBnat can have little 旺旺 biscuits, the small tupperwares will definitely come in handy for outings!In true blue good-daughter mode, I should really take heed of my mum's advice. In particular, last night's golden advice :: This GSS, don't buy rubbish. Just get the branded stuff. More worth. What to do? Mum is always right.Heehee. =P Just the beginning It's another of those nights where BBnat wake up crying a few times through the night.Never mind the disrupted sleep, it's very heartpain to hear his crying and seeing him in discomfort.The emerging tooth on the upper gum must be causing him discomfort.As we continue to pray that he gets some comfort from this growing pain and we do what we can to soothe it, this devotion in my mailbox served to remind me that...this is just the beginning of things in his life that we are going to pray for.===A Mom's Conversation with Godby Lysa TerKeurst "The LORD is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him." ~ Nahum 1:7 (NIV) A few weeks ago, my daughter Ashley injured her shoulder while gearing up for her largest gymnastics meet of the season. She's had an amazing time with gymnastics over the past 10 years, winning several state titles and progressing to each next level with great excitement.But this year has been an uphill battle.Finally, at the end of the season things seemed to be clicking along like she'd planned. But with one slip off the bar and a pretty bad landing, her shoulder was injured. We soon realized that no amount of rehab could get her ready in time. So, with tears and great disappointment, she had to scratch from the meet.I've said it before and I'll say it again, that I know in the great scheme of life, this is such a small thing. But in Ashley's world, this was big. Therefore, it led me to have one of those conversations with the Lord that I'm sure many moms have had at one time or another. If your child has ever had to walk through the yuck of disappointment, maybe you can relate. The Mom: Lord, I have to tell you it is a hard thing for a mother to watch her child work so hard for something only to have her dreams dashed by an injury. The Lord: Do the words of Job 17:11 express the way you are feeling? "My days have passed, my plans are shattered, and so are the desires of my heart." The Mom: Lord, You could make her better. You could strengthen her shoulder and make her well enough to compete. Lord, don't You see her tears? If seeing her sadness breaks my heart, I know it must break Your heart, too. It is hard for me to understand when I know that You could fix this in an instant.The Lord: Recall the beauty of trusting the only One who can see what is and what is to come. Remember my words in Nahum 1:7: "The LORD is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him." The Mom: I do trust you Lord. But for all that work to end like this is so hard. It just seems so pointless. The Lord: Oh, nothing I do is pointless. Nothing you go through is pointless. This lesson will work good for her now and it will work good for her in the future. You only think you know what is best for her. But I have such a grand plan and purpose in all this. Proverbs 19:20-21: "Listen to advice and accept instruction, and in the end you will be wise. Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the LORD's purpose that prevails." The Mom: I just need to know why she has to go through this. The Lord: You don't have to have answers, Lysa. You just need to trust. Isaiah 55:8-9: "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts."The Mom: But what about the desires of her heart Lord? The Lord: I am the only One who even knows the full scope of those desires, Lysa. Your job isn't to figure out how to make her desires come to pass. Your job is to simply teach her to trust Me and make wise choices. Psalm 37: 3-4: "Trust in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart." Dear Lord, once again as a mom I lift my child up to You. For You are the only One who can ultimately lift her up. I trust You and I pray that through all the ups and downs in life, she comes to trust You in a very personal way as well. In Jesus' Name, Amen. The door bell is a happy sound to hear It's official. Borderlinx is much more efficient than vpost.The Old Navy package arrived today. On a Sunday!My Target.com parcel, ordered around the same time, is still in the States loh!This adds to the highlights of this weekend, seeing that Nat has yet another jab AND showed us his ability to pull himself to a standing position many times (which is the milestone of a 9-month old!).Honestly, this parcel was all clicked by Daddy tehpeng last weekend.After the last batch included a colourful candy coloured stripey PJs with words "Sweet Dreams Cafe" looking quite gay-ish metrosexualish on BBnat, tehpeng started to doubt my taste shopping selections.tehpeng :: Are you sure that's not under the baby girls' section??I wasn't able to clear my name as the said PJs is no longer available online. Hmmmmph.And so he took away that bit of online-fun from me started clicking on his own.And had alot of fun tracking the status of the parcel.We seriously need to stop. There's GSS now! =P A pounding issue I needed the conversion of 6,000 British pounds.Nooo, not for my online shopping. Mad ah!For work. Some budget I'm trying to work out. I keyed in "6000 pounds" in google.And the top result?I burst out laughing.Orrrh, I have to key in "6000 GBP or British Pounds"! Who did it!? I feel very updated, cos we caught a movie last night!A day AFTER the premiere! Considering the last time we were at the cinema, Nat was still inside me!Movie verdict :: It's Indiana Jones, what's not to like about it?Forget about the plot/story line (nothing's believable anyway!). Just love the whole adventure and humour of it all.At the end of the movie, tehpeng and I would like to really know...WHO FARTED AT THE MOVIES!Twice, somemore!! And one to do it all Introducing solids to BBnat has been fun so far.Planning the menu, with the help of this site and Annabel Karmel's book.Then steaming and pureeing the flavour of the week. :)Sometimes I even take a sneak bite.I'vegot to know what I'm feeding my baby right?So far so good. So much so I even fell in love with eating sweet potato.I like purple as a colour, but purple food has never really settled well with me - brinjal, sweet potato, yam etc.tehpeng :: Congrats darling, you can now surive a war.lilsnooze :: But I only eat Japanese organic sweet potatoes!Oops. :PAnyway, we bought a steamer and blender for this sole purpose.Only to realise, a few weeks later, that we actually had a Braun blender somewhere in our kitchen cabinet (I think my mum gave that to us.)Both tehpeng and I burst out laughing when we saw it. Fail.Recently, (yes, AFTER we bought the items!\) I did some surfing around (The world wide web is my best friend!) and came across this.Aiyah, this would make my life so much easier!One gadget to steam AND blend! As parents Sometimes tehpeng and I will tell each other about our growing years and the funny, sometimes naughty, antics.It's a cliche but it is really true that you truly only understand the other side of the story when you become a parent.Suddenly you understand why your mum said "No" when you ask for whatever that your friends have and is deem cool at that point in time.Suddenly you realise, with much horror, how much you must have hurt your mum during your rebellious years.Parenting is tough.This devotion is just so timely. If it means helping our kids emerge from the teen years holy and healthy, I am willing to be weird. I know we might come across as parents who just might spoil BBnat silly(Aiyah, we already do!), but we are very steadfast in wanting to bring him up to fear the Lord and to know Him personally.===To text or not to text"Young people are prone to foolishness and fads; the cure comes through tough-minded discipline." Proverbs 22:15 To text or not to text...that is the question. My husband and I struggled with this question when our two daughters entered middle school. Some how they convinced us that we would be better parents, and they would be safer children, if they were given cell phones. We fell for it.Since then, they have come to believe that texting is one of the four primary food groups which sustains life as we know it. I am a strong believer in random text checks. On occasion, I will pick up my daughters' phones, without warning, and skim through their messages. Something in my spirit told me it was time for a random check. I immediatately glanced at the conversations taking place in her private world of texting. As I read through the messages, my heart sank. I was devastated at the conversations she had been engaging in. Although her responses were not entirely inappropriate, the things that were being said to her were. I was disappointed that she would allow boys in her school to say such offensive things, and crushed that she had not stood up for her faith and distanced herself from people who obviously did not respect her.As I sat there, feeling like a complete failure as a parent, I received an email. My friend Mary Beth had posted an entry on her blog regarding texting problems among teenagers, and thought I might be interested. I immediately linked over to read it, and praised God as I wiped away the tears from my eyes. Through a simple blog entry, God communicated to me that I was not alone. He used Mary Beth's words to reassure me I was not a failure as a parent. We live in a corrupt world, and the enemy will use whatever means he can to pierce the hearts of our children and gain control of their thoughts and actions. Although I trust my children, I had to recognize that even good kids make mistakes. Even good kids, from good families, raised in Christian homes, can get caught up in the trappings of this world, and pulled into ungodly actions. It is our job as parents to help our kids set themselves apart from the fads of today's society that are not healthy for them. If we allow our kids the privilege of their privacy so much that they are living a life that parents are not a part of, then we, as parents, have gotten pulled into the trappings of this world as well. As my mom used to say, just because everybody else is doing it, doesn't mean that you have to do it. This also applies to us parents! Just because other parents allow their kids to have cell phones, unlimited texting, and completely private lives doesn't mean I have to! Mary Beth said it perfectly when she wrote, "Today, I realized that our position on cell phones is "weird" by our kids and the rest of the world's standard, but that is okay. If it means helping our kids emerge from the teen years holy and healthy, I am willing to be weird."My husband and I made the difficult decision that we would not only block texting from cell phones but the phones would be temporarily, if not permanently, taken away. Did that win us the parent popularity award? Absolutely not. Did our daughters expend all of their energies trying to convince us they would be social outcasts in society? Yes. Did they use scare tactics, like something might happen and they won't be able to call us? Yes they did.But do we believe we are doing what God would have us do to protect our children and teach them what is holy and just? Absolutely.If need be, are you willing to be "weird"? Dear Lord, parenting is hard. Please guide me in making difficult decisions that are in the best interest of my child, even if they don't agree. Please wrap your arms around them and keep them safe from the evils of this world. In Jesus' Name, Amen. Rub-a-dub-duck You know it is very common to go into a store to grab a few necessary items and emerging with a couple more items you didn't think you need till you saw them on the shelf?Especially so if you are a parent.It happened to us ever so often, at any store selling babystuff. They really know how to earn our $$!During the "heatwave" period a few weeks back, we saw this and thought it will be a nice treat for BBnat for an extra afternoon dip.Not that he doesn't have a bathtub. He has. The one given free at Mt Alvernia.But the rubber duckie looks so cool and cute, WE HAD TO GET IT.And it really looks like a splashpool more than a bathtub.And since we stay in an apartment, we can't have splashpools like this (unless we put it out at the....void deck!?Hah!), I thought this will do just fine.So, my boy gets a little splashing fun on weekend afternoons.(And daddy gets more picture op moments!)Indeed a good buy! :) The dream buy I woke this morning feeling great (I mean, it's a public holiday) and with a question :: "Did I just buy a bag last night?"I checked my phone and saw the audit trail of smses. Yeap, I very much did.You see, I was roused from my sleep past midnight with a phonecall starting with "Hey, I'm now at Miu Miu...."One's got to love IDD calls and time difference.Splatpotato is doing the Rome-Paris-Amsterdam trip and he very kindly IM-ed me to ask if I have any shopping list before he left. Duh!But I did tell him to not go out of his way to get the stuff, only if it's on the way.He's just done Trevi fountain and had a gelato and now that the important stuff has been cleared, he's onto erh...my shopping. ;) Splatpotato :: Only black or light blue. But the new season colour is red. Not fire engine red but a shade darker, like cherry red. If you ask me, I'll go for red....Woh, I'm so proud of him. A guy who can describe the different shades of red!I would like to think my crashcourse of "It bags" before he left for the trip helped. :)Now I wonder what tidings his Paris leg will bring....Hee. A climber! It's like he was conserving energy during the 1-week he was down with viral rash.Cos there's this sudden burst of energy in him now.Which cannot be stopped.Where he used to just move front-back-front-back on all fours without really moving a slight inch, he can now CRAWL at a very fast speed and even over our bodies (his terrain!).Where he used to just flip back-forth-left-right-center on the cot, he can now hoist himself up.I kid you not.All at the age of month 6.Looks like I don't need to sign him up for Gymboree! Offer taken It might be time to re-examine why your best galpal's reaction is as such... lilsnooze :: Hey, XYZ offer!Dada :: Huh? Where's the sale!lilsnooze :: Erh...I meant job offer?Yes, the pull factors were strong on the other side and I was "sold"(rather quickly, if I may say so myself).And I have to admit throwing the letter wasn't as easy as I thought or remembered it to be. I had butterflies in my stomach. I was trying to catch my boss at the right moment to drop the bomb. Didn't help I was on 2 days mc prior. Hiyah.It turned out harder than I thought. Like an end to a relationship, how do you soften the cruel truth that you "fell for another person"? I find myself trying to explain (and I thought I had it all figured out!). She was trying to make me change my mind (I think?). I feel guilty. (But I had to remind myself that I'm moving onto a great career opportunity)At the end of it all, she wished me "the best".*phew* An amicable parting. How else to commemorate this somewhat bold move of mine (moving from a comfort zone to unknown territory) but with a pair of shoes, right? ;)And with a pair that is colourfully patterned, not like the usual solid-coloured ones I tend to go for. Make me young again! I wanna be five years old again.No, wait. Make that three.I'm sure I will look cuter at three than at five years of age wearing this.Aiyoh, they call this range "retro graphics with a vintage feel".All bearing cartoons from our era (read :: The 80's only what!). Tsk! Being a mum The thing is, you never really stop being a mum.Not even when your daughter has a family of her own and is a mother herself.When she appears at your doorstep not feeling the best of health, you "mother" her as with the old times - making her liang teh and baby porridge to whet her bland appetite.You even add on the hat of being a grandmother to a fussy grandson, making sure he is entertained, has his feeds and sleep.The weekend has been challenging with each of us falling prey to the viralthingy but the support and help from our mothers have been truly Godsend.It is true that you only truly appreciate and understand your mum when you are a mum yourself.Today's ST article quoted that a mum should be earning $23k a month, doing their job. Well, I'm sure not every mother receive that amount but it doesn't mean they give anything less of value to the family.Juggling work and family is tough but SAHM is not easy either. And I am not brave enough to take that step.I know, I might miss out witnessing his first words, or him taking his first steps but what matters is I am with him every step of the way and I will always listen to whatever he has to say.Because, you never stop being a mummy.Even when he turns 21, gets a job and has his own family and tehpeng and I have our 二人世界 back.Here's to our mothers & to us mothers!And also to my son, without whom I wouldn't have experienced mummyhood. It kinda works... Not exactly what the doctor prescribed, but seeing Mr vpost with these sure helped to perk up the viral-attacked yveon household lilsnooze ::Who says retail therapy is hogwash?!?Even clicking and seeing the shopping cart gives you a high! Or was that the meds?And how glad am I that the most expensive item is this Gryson for Target bag? The rest are all bargain items on sale!You would all agree that I've been really good in terms of bag-purchases this year and it's already May! :)And I'm sure the anticipated arrival of (more) Old Navy stuff will make BBnat happy and recover completely!!I'm getting delirious (too many !!!!) and I should retreat into that cocoon of my bed before I do any more damage to my credit card. And a half And today, BBnat turns 6 months old (or young, as daddy likes to put it).Wow! And that means 6 months outside of me!Imagine that.I know, there's still a looong way to go, but for now, I think we've come quite a distance, havn't we?Yes, our lives have somewhat changed, and it's changed for the better.Never mind the interrupted sleep.Never mind we can't just take off (even stepping out of the house) just like that.If I can make the little one feel better by taking on whatever that makes him wake at night crying, I would.Just to have him look at you, break into his smile with recognition and joy knowing that we are his daddy/mummy, makes it all worth the while. Ok, I just heard him. Off I go! Night duty! Poplets The hot & humid weather is causing things to pop out of me - a stye (right eyelid!) and a pimple (under my nose!).But I still give thanks that its these and not my body temp that's popping up. And that the pimple didn't pop out when I took pm-leave 2 weeks back (or was it 3 weeks back?) for my long overdue facial.I've not been for the longest time, eversince I got too heavy during pregger-stage to be lying flat on my back for long.As a result, the facial took about 45 min more than the usual 1 hour session.Yeah, major damage control/salvage.So, prevention is always the better option.Cheers everyone!*guzzle chrysanthemum tea* Learning everyday The good news is :: we had a longer weekend (we took leave on Friday!).The not-so-good news is :: Nat is kinda down with viral rash. I know, I've not heard of this one before!And we thought it was heat rash. Which actually doesn't really seem to bother him much (as in it doesn't itch), but bothers us more.At the paed when she said she needed to take his urine sample for testing, I was curious as to how it would be done.Can't really expect him to pee into a cup,right?I thought maybe they just need his wet diaper and erm...wring some pee out?Heh heh.Well, what they did was to attach this onto him, bundle him with a clean dry diaper and we wait.As parents, you really learn something new everyday.
