		<description><![CDATA[I took Clare to see a psychologist today.  The adjustment issues she had, especially with regards to school, have not seemed to ease much and it got me worried.  Although not constant, she has been telling me that she does not like school and doesn&#8217;t want to go to school.  Sometimes she [...]]]></description>

I knew that she was a goner and that she would be ill because of that.  And I was right.  All through the school holidays, none of us fell ill, even during [...]]]></description>

I received an email today, reminding me to renew my business registration, which expires in January next year.  The first thing that hit me was: has it really been almost one year?  Then again, Christmas is just round the corner. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My diaper free baby.
One thing I was worried about, before Clare started attending school, was that she wasn&#8217;t potty-trained.  Till I found out that at her level, it was alright that she still wear diapers and her teachers will sort her out if she soiled them.  During orientation, I also found out from [...]]]></description>

Yes, she came kitted with iPod headphones, which just only shows that she is most definitely my baby. Actually, she was in NICU, having pooped on her way out during delivery, so those were just wires monitoring her.  
Three years later, I have this:

Me: No, Clare. You&#8217;re sick. You can have one when you&#8217;re better. (At which point, I started coughing because I was sick too.)
Clare: But mummy, you&#8217;re also sick. And you have a Yakult. Can I [...]]]></description>

The past month has been terrible for me, health wise.  Strangely, the moment I start exercising, I start falling ill.  Terribly ill, for that matter.  Couple of weeks back, I was hit by a flu bug that gave me a fever, cough, cold and bodyaches.  I [...]]]></description>
