Easter Egg Craft - From Egg to Chick

As this week is still easter week, mommy had an idea to make this craft from egg to chick.
His job is basically decorating the egg with stickers and mommy did the rest

Happy Easter 2015

During the holy week, we skipped Maundy Thursday 'cos Tromson was not feeling well due to stomach flu.
We attended Good Friday Mass and  Easter Sunday Mass.

As he started terrible two phase, it's not easy to bring him to church.
Half of the mass, papa will bring him in the back so he can use up his energy to run instead of screaming.
We just embrace "this moment" cos we believe it will over soon when he's ready.

There's beautiful message during Good Friday Mass from Fr. Richard Ambrose.

The passion of the Christ is the only event in the gospel where all unbelievers, sinners and faithful ones gathered together and witnessed Jesus died on the cross.
Three prayers or important messages before He died :
1. Forgive them, 'cos they didn't know what they were doing.
The first prayer meant for unbelievers

2. Today, you shall join me in Paradise
The second prayer meant for the sinners who turned back to God

3. Mother, this is your son. Son, this is your mother.
The third prayer meant for faithful and believers.

From those prayers, we know that His ultimate purpose to come to the world is to save all of us especially the unbelievers and sinners and He died on the cross to replace us from eternal punishment.

On Easter Sunday, we attended morning mass because koko had soccer class after that. In the afternoon, we went to Sentosa for egg hunt. We had so much fun there 'cos it's free and not so crowded

Happy Easter ! God is risen from the dead and has saved us from eternal punishment

Stomach Flu

Last week, Tromson was down with stomach flu. Out of sudden, he fell sick on Tuesday evening. He had no appetite and threw up at night and he had high fever too.
The next day, he was so lethargic, no appetite at all and threw up the milk.
He felt better on Friday, when he showed some appetites and no more vomiting. I thought it was over but the diarrhoea came after dinner.

He ate fish soup and right after meal, he passed the loose stools until his diaper couldn't hold it.
Fortunately, he still had appetite, so he survived on biscuits and snacks.
The night sleep became nightmare, 'cos he's very hungry since I didn't give him milk yet until he recovered well.

On Sunday, thanks God, he's doing very well. I gave him milk and no more vomit and diarrhoea. His appetite was also back.
Today, his stools are also back to normal.

Thanks God for your easter blessings

Happy 20 months
