Ian Turner
Posted by tyan (Singapore, Singapore) on 28 June 2007 in People & Portrait.
Ian has reached one of his milestones,he has started to 'flip'!(last week,to be exact)
I remembered a lady commenting why some mothers go so 'gaga' over wanting to be there to witness their children's 'firsts'.She said,well,you get to see it when u come home from work anyway,so whats the big fat difference man?
I don't know about you but it sure feels good to have the first kiss,the first ride on the ferris wheel,watch the first rays of dawn...isnt it?

hurray for Ian!!!
yes - firsts are always special in a way and i'm sure you felt it too when you saw him turn
i like this shot with him looking striaght inot the camera and his expressions which seem to say, "Hey mommy look! I turned all by myself!"
there'll be more firsts for him (and Caleb) as he gains more and more of his independence... i guess something you and Law will both see with joy and yet at the same time need to learn to slowly let the string go as Ian and Caleb grow to become independent individuals...
not easy... do pray for wisdom...
just prayed for you and Law

@kairospix: thanks a lot my friend!appreciate your prayers!
yeah you are right,its not easy to let go!we still have so much to learn.you know parenting has really taught us God's unconditional love. The amount of sacrifices,the hard work...yet sometimes we may not see any tangible return or reciprocation..yet that is the flawed human love..i suppose even a human mother would yearn for her children to reciprocate her love.and it struck me hard how God just gives and gives,even to the point of death.
at this point i just wish Caleb and Ian never grow up,haha!:)

"...whats the big fat difference man?" - they just don't understand...

@{H} creatives: thanks for popping by dude,even though (i presume) u must be very busy!After been a full time working mom and now a stay at home mom,i begin to see how much i missed out when i worked.[personal opinion here,everybody.]of course i get my fair share of frustrations,facing them whole day and doing seemingly menial housechores,over and over again with no promotion nor bonuses in sight, and people not giving way when they see a tired mother with a babe in her sling and a cranky toddler in a pram at the train station and lifts;but there are also many happy times we share which money cannot buy.Law was just telling me how he felt that he doesnt seem to see much of the kids when he worked,and that if i had worked too,we are probably leaving most part of parenting to somebody else.We escape the 'frustrations',but we would have missed out on their milestones and childhood too.
thanks for your encouragement.we send our hello to Linda and Keshia too!

Are u looking forward to Ian crawling? The 2 boys will have lotsa fun together...and before we know it, they'll be running and chasing each other and perhaps, driving the mummy up the wall! :p

@Nancy: hi babe,not really.I hope he stays this way.Dont grow any further!Caleb is ALREADY driving me up the wall.Just today i brought them to CP sold storage.He made a nuisance of himself.Mummy very embarrassed,haha!
Joanie from Singapore
I really like his smile! What a great sense of achievement! I am sure Mommy is also as exhilaterated as he is...heehee...

@Joanie: yeah,now his little body still wobbles a lot whenever he turns.And his arms and legs will start waving in the air frantically,like astro boy:)

hello!
tks for dropping by my pblog!
haha - the secret of how the shot of the two lights were taken will be revealed in tomorrow's shot :)
drop by when you can :)
and yes you are right - those who become parents will have a deeper perspective and understanding of how God loves and desires our best...that is a very precious "privillage" that only full-time moms/homewakers will get to experience - i think it's worth it no? :)
blessings to Law, you and the kids!
