They Love Following Me To The Hospital

Alycia and Sherilyn just love tagging along with me to the hospital for my check-ups.  First, they get to play in the playroom whilst I wait for my turn to see the Ob&G.  Sometimes, daddy buys them sandwiches and muffins from Starbucks (yup, there is even a Starbucks within the hospital).  Then, they get to pay at the parking ticket machine.  The gals just love to insert the parking ticket into the machine, slot coins and notes and getting the receipt and change from the machine.  They fight to do this all the time.  Then, they get to sit on the hospital buggy.  This hospital is like a 5-star hotel as they even have buggies to chauffeur patients to the car park.   And finally, after the check-up, daddy would normally bring us all for lunch.  Today, we went to Delicious @ Bangsar Village for lunch after the check-up.  We only managed to have lunch at around 2ish pm and the gals only took their naps at 4:30pm.  Click here to see what we ate at Delicious today.

I am into my 36th week of pregnancy this week.  I am really surprised that my baby’s weight shot up really fast in just 2 weeks.  2 weeks ago, she weighed 2.2kg and today she weighed 2.85kg.  Looks like I’m going to have another heavy baby.  No wonder I’ve been feeling so heavy and uncomfortable lately.


Alycia and Sherilyn got really excited sitting on the hospital buggy, which was their first buggy ride.

Learning During Breakfast Works Best

I find that teaching Alycia and Sherilyn works best during breakfast time.  It’s the time when they are seated and eating and their attention span tends to be the highest in the morning.

Sherilyn for one can never sit still during meal times.  Without any activitiy to occupy her when she eats, she will climb up and down from her booster seat.  I either read to her, let her do coloring, flash cards to her and do educational activities with her during breakfast.  During lunch time, I normally turn on some educational DVDs for the gals to watch.  Dinner time is strictly eating time – no activities but just eating and communicating with one another.

Sherilyn now recognizes most of the letters of the alphabet and numbers.   I think she will progress faster if I send her to pre-school now but I am delaying sending her until at least June this year.

Spanish Hotel Website

One of the tasks that I disliked doing as a PA to my former boss was to book hotels for him in some countries in Africa. The staff employed by some of these hotels can only speak smattering English and I used to have a hard time conversing with them and getting through the message to them.  These hotels should have hired staff who speak better English for the needs of clients who only speak English.  It can be really frustrating conversing to someone who does not understand what you are talking about most of the time. That is why hotels.com, the expert in hotels online has come up with a new comprehensive site at espanol.hotels.com to enable Spanish travelers book their descuento en hoteles at their Spanish website with ease and convenience.  If you are a Spanish traveler, do bookmark this useful Spanish hotel website for your next hotel booking.
