Happy New Year!!!
As many of us are doing this time of the year, I would like to recap what ABumbleBee has gone through in the year of 2010 before we take a look at what is in store for 2011.
In the last year, we have seen the following:
1. Commencement of Project "Our Hive"
Technically we got the keys to our house at the end of 2009, but all the renovation and furnishing work started in January 2010. A year has passed and we can safely say that we can literally move in today. But, pratically, we have not started packing our clothes. So, we forsee that we the move in will be some time in February, if and only if, Maisarah gets off the waiting list and is enrolled in the school we registered. If not, then we will have to find another school and the move-in will have to be delayed to maybe March or April.
2. Maisarah being fully weaned off from breastmilk
We did that towards the end of November. I must admit, it was not the best of time to wean her off due to some minor hiccups at home. But it happened and Alhamdulillah Maisarah is now drinking Milo with UHT milk from the bottle every night. During the day she drinks Chocolate or Strawberry UHT milk. Last weekend, while cuddling, Maisarah pretended to breastfeed and that act made me feel a tad bit sad. I think she still misses breastfeeding. But I keep reminding her that she is a big girl now and breastfeeding is only for babies.
3. Potty training Maisarah
November also saw us potty training Maisarah. She now can tell when she wants to pee. But occasionally there are still some accidents. Especially when she is too excited doing a certain activity that she forgets about telling us she wants to pee. Like yesterday, she was happy sprinting with her Abah from one end of the garden to another when suddenly she came to me saying she wanted to pee and then it immediately happened. This happens once or twice every week. We're still yet to get her off the diaper at night and she can't make number 2 without her diaper on.
Well, I guess those three are the biggest events that happened this year. There has been nothing much to write about work-wise. Everything is going on as usual at work, maybe even getting much more boring than the years before.
What to look ahead for in 2011?
We are eager to move in to our new home and start a whole new adventure.
Maisarah is eager to start kindergarten. The lady at the kindy said that they will call us some time this week if there is an opening for Maisarah. If we do not hear anything than we'll have to start the search for a kindergarten again.
What we hope to find in 2011?
My hubby is still in search for a new job. I am praying hard that he finds a job he likes as soon as possible.
I am in search of a source of side income which could possibly one day be good enough such that I can become a stay at home mom.
So, please Allah, bless us with a good year ahead filled with happiness, good health and properity so that we can become better servants to You. I also pray that the year 2011 be be a happy, properous and blessed year for all of you too.
