The age that I wish my child will stay to be

This is the 2nd tag from Aunty J and I'm doing this now as hubby and the little people are still fast asleep.

Uaua on his 3rd Birthday celebration

Let me start with my son, Joshua. For him I like him to stay at his age the day when Moira was born. Reason being, soon after he got a little sister Mama have very little time with him. I remember after I got home from the hospital, I really hug him and touch his head and was amazed by how big and tall he has grown, and at that time I realise that I've missed him growing up. Sometimes I feel really bad when he say "Mama come sit next to me, I have something to say to you". Then I realise, it's been such a long time since I listen to him. Pretty tough uhh... I like the way he has grown now but I wish he could stay at 3yrs old as I don't want to miss all the time spend with him. Joshua is funny, intelligent and kind-hearted boy that any mom would want to have as a son and I feel I'm very lucky to have a son like him.

Momoi - the sleepy 4 days old baby

For my daughter- Moira, I would like her to stay at 2 month and below. Reason being is that was the time when she was the easiest to take care of and I love the sight of a little wiggly baby stretching herself. It was also the easiest since I was able to fully breastfeed her during the 2 months confinement period (in fact I managed to fully breastfeed her till she was 6 months). I wish I have an option to take longer maternity leave like what the government is implementing now so that I would be able to nurture and care for my growing baby until she is about 1-2 years old. Nevertheless, Moira is a fast learner i.e. by 4 months - turn over on her own, by 5 months - learn to sit by her self, by 6 months - can sit up straight by herself, by 7 months - can pull her own self to stand in the baby cot, by 8 months - can wave bye-bye, clap hands, say mama, baba, nen-nen (which is also means mama, the big walking milk bottle... haha). With her being the fast learner, I would certainly even miss her growing-up more and wish she would be her baby-self forever.

Momoi - the prisoner, Uaua - the visitor

In fact if anyone would ask me, I would not want my kids to grow bigger faster. All the effort and time spend on them while they were small babies are no doubt the most tiring part of motherhood but it is also the most satisfying, enjoyable and worthy experience especially when they are happy and healthy.
