What a wonderful 3 years journey of motherhood

Mommy writes this to express how wonderful 3 years journey of motherhood.
It's not kinda easy, it fulls of surprises every day.
It likes building your own home from the scratch and finally you can see the result eventhough it's still half way.
Motherhood journey fulls with ups and downs, frustrations, happiness, depression, laughter
But when I look back and see the big picture, I'm just grateful to experience this lifetime journey

I remember when Richie was born 3 years ago, he's so helpless, and very cranky on the first day we brought him home from hospital. We didn't know what to do, kinda frustration..
After that, I had less sleeping time, and needed to breastfeed him exclusively since he didn't want to use bottle
Fortunately, he's so easy with solid food.

After he passed his first year, it came another challenge, he's in exploring stage and teething period.
Those days were very tough, sometimes he ate a lot sometimes he went on strike
He touched here and there, didn't speak yet, he kinda frustrated when we didn't understand what he wanted and so did we
Futhermore, he was in building his immune stage, therefore almost every 2 or 3 months, he caught cold, running nose, cough...

When he reached 2 years old, things are getting easier.
By then he has already spoken, he knew how to ask and understand when we told him do and don't
He was getting weight faster since most of his teeth were up, so he ate a lot and had big appetite.
He was stronger and seldom got sick
He was a good boy whom we could talk to if he did something wrong
He was willingly to pee in the toilet in day and after that followed by night time. Mommy didn't force or really trained him every hour or so.

When he reach 2 and half years old ++, mommy enrolled him to chinese enrichment class.
He needed to overcome his separation anxiety, eventhough mommy realised it's too early for him to overcome separation anxiety. But after all, he passed.
He's enjoying his chinese class and could read some chinese characters well, sing chinese songs and spoke some vocabs in chinese.

And know 2 months shy from 3 years old, he wants to be independent.
He wants to do all things by himself and sometimes asks where is baby ? hahaha
Oh no, is he really ready for having another sibling ?

Mommy's so proud of him.
Mommy's efforts to nurture and groom him to be an outgoing boy with self confidence, logic and smart as well as generous are not wasted.
Mommy could see the result now eventhough it's still long way to go.
At least he listens to what mommy says and mommy becomes his confidante too.

Well, I never regret to become stay at home mom, eventhough I lost some incomes, I gain something that irreversible.
Richie's ready to go to school next year, and mommy's also ready to go back to work force.
Hopefully next year is great year for us to start our new journey

Second kid ??
Not yet, mommy's planning to go back to work first at least 2 years before going motherhood journey again.

For me, having a kid is not just ordering from catalogue, waiting for 9 months then subcontract it to other people.
Mommy prefers to nurture and groom him/her by myself so he/she has good character as for head start for his/her journey in this world

Well, mommy just wants to say thank you to God, Daddy and Richie for giving me this opportunity to become stay at home mommy and wife
