Lebaran atmosphere...the kids world & my world

The atmosphere this year for eid is no different than any other years. The difference is...this year, we prayed at the Holiday Inn. Usually, it would be at the Consulate General's house. I guess, in a way it's a good thing...cuz if it were @ the house...it would be all cramped...babies crying...and you can't here the Imam say the prayers...and people chit chat after the prayer...and you can't here the Imam preach. This time, they had designated an extra room for mother's with children, so the people that are praying won't be bothered.

Of course every year, we would go from house to house...paying our respect..especially to the elders...but this this year, we had only gone to the Consulate General's house, then Mami & Papi's house, last but not least Tante Yuli & Oom Andrea's house. Years ago...it would take us 2 days to go around & around...I guess this year, people aren't doing open house's =P So...that's what we did for eid.

As for the kids world, Parisha has started crawling (i mean...literally..with hands & knees, not scooting) and also...she is able to sit up on her own...and standing up while holding on. The standing up part, she's still learning how to balance...it seems like she is learning how to stand a lot faster than Anjeli @ that age....and she had her 'real' solid food as of today. I had made her rice porridge with spinach, and chicken...she seems to take it very well...compared to her Gerber food..heheheh. Anjeli, my gosh...she's just climbing everywhere like a monkey...i'm just afraid that she's going to fall. Like this morning, she's already sitting on the kitchen counter!! Trus one day I found her falling asleep like this:

Her vocabulary is also expanding...and I had also given her a timeout...huhuhu...it was hard for me to do it..but I had to...for discipline. If Anjeli understand to talk back & say "no"...then she'd understand what it means to be disciplined..The question is: when is it ok to spank ur kids???? I had vowed not to spank my kids..only because, what i had gone thru when i was a little bit older than Anjeli. But that's another story.....it can b a novel...

As for me, I had left the Personal Shopping department after 5 years...it was 1 of many hard decision i had to make. So, now I'm working on the floor as a Ralph Lauren Specialist. It's only been 3 weeks...and i'm enjoying it so far...I love the people that I work with...and the atmoshpere is good too! We'll c how it goes =)
