Ahh...what joy to see the smiles on your faces, my children. True joy and happiness or shyness portrayed when all of your smile. It is indeed a pure delight to see your smile. Yes, I am talking about you Annabelle, and you Clarissa and not forgetting you Barnabas. Your smile that makes your daddy feels so delighted. Your smile makes your daddy feel that the challenges in bringing you up is worth it. Your smile that brought a smile on daddy. So contagious are your smiles.
So children, keep on smiling and your daddy will smile with you. When daddy's heart is heavy with other matters, your smile brings comfort and makes daddy know that there are more important things in daddy's life. Daddy loves you all, Annabelle, Clarissa, and you too Barnabas.

Sleeping on my lap
Today is the first time Barnabas fell asleep on my lap. Ya....I really think it is the first time coz I can't remember any other times when he fell asleep on my lap. Of course when he was a little baby maybe got lah but that didn't count lah.
Forced him to sleep at about 3pm just now. Hahaha....yes, had to force him as he normally does not want to sleep if given the choice. After giving him the medicine for flu and cough, let him drink his milk and before he could finish his 6 ounces of milk, he was fast asleep.
Then put the other two girls to sleep also. No, no, no.... I'm not talking about "putting to sleep" when you want to kill your old or sick dog. What I meant is helping my girls to go to sleep. Then I go out from the room to check my email and of course play mosiang.
Then at about 4pm, Barnabas woke up and cried. As usual he would go out from the room and look for someone. He saw me, continue to cry and went to look for his grandma. Haizzz... I think I bullied him so much that he does not want his daddy, prefers his grandma coz his grandma showers him with lots of attention.
Anyway...I took him from his grandma as his grandma wants to prepare Milo drinks. Phew....at least he is willing to allow me to carry him. Took him to the dining table and feed him a strip of kuey teow. Gave him water to drink also. Then he yawned and slumped down on the bench with his head resting on my lap. The eyes opened and closed, opened and closed and slowly he doze off. It's so nice to see him sleeping on my lap, resting peacefully. Wah...another father son moment. Wished I had the camera and capture the moments. Nevermind lah... as long as I can cherish the moments cukuplah.
After a few minutes I know that he is still sleepy. Brought him back to the room and put him to sleep.

Changing hearts
It is interesting to see my children show their loves to me and their mother. I would always ask them whether they love me or not. Their answers would depend on whether I've been "good or bad" to them. If I've been playing with them and they are happy, the answers would always be "Yes, I love you Daddy". But if I've been disciplining them for the wrong things they did, the answer is obvious, "No!".
I really enjoy the affection shown by them, especially my two girls. Annabelle and Clarissa would at times give me a hug before they go to school. Hahaha... that would happened only if they are in a good mood to go to school.
Barnabas has been a bit distanced from me. Not sure why.... maybe I did not give him lots of attention. He would not want to kiss me on the lips but instead would put forward his cheeks for me to kiss. Only after I "pestered" him, would he kiss me on the lips....with an open lips.
