I have so many things to blog about amber but i haven't been patient enough to put my thoughts here... i realise that its true that having more kids just means that your heart gets bigger and there's so much love to give to all of them... but unfortunately, having more kids also means that you need more TIME to give to each kid, and that's something that there's not enough of...of course there are times that i wish all our kids could be under the same roof at the same time (actually i feel like that ALL the time) but that means that i get super impatient and snappy when things don't run smoothly... So for now, i can only rotate them around but all the kids get the attention they need and fortunately, they do run to me when they want me.

I think an important factor why my two girls cope well with the arrival of Declan is because i still give the girls the attention that they demand for... of course the flipside is that the girls are just like me, and they love babies and don't mind the growing family. there's no jealousy at all and i am so pleased!

Amber has been asked if she likes cadence or declan more... being the loving child that she is, she always says that she loves everyone! and she'll add, "i love everyone coz we are FAMILY".

she's really helpful and runs to fetch things for me when i need her to. she's more independent and she dresses herself quickly and neatly. she also chooses what she wears and has a terrific sense of colour and style. she wakes up chirpy for school and hardly dawdles! i am so impressed with her and its great seeing her grow up so fast. of course she still has her temper tantrums when she's overtired but no one's perfect!

amber attended baby Clara's first month party with Molly. i guess she had a great time till she went to my mom's house and got angry when my mom threw away her mini oranges that were rotton. she cried and fell asleep after that for a 2 hour nap! YAY!
