I’m tagging Farah, Gracie, Joanne, and Yvelle.

I got tagged by Vannie. I was surprised that the description fits me. Or I’d like to believe that it does.

I’m a bullfrog: 

You symbolize a very happy-go-lucky approach in life. Whatever the surroundings may be, grim or cheerful, you remain unaffected. In fact, you spread cheer wherever you go. You are the leader of your group of fri ends! and go od at consoling pe ople in their times of need. You dislike hypocrisy and tend to shirk away from hypocrites. They can never be in your good books, no matter what. You are very methodical and organized in your work. No amount of mess, hence, can ever encompass you. Beware, it is easy for you to fall in love….

If you are an Ass : A very loyal and sweet person. Your loyalty can never be doubted. You are quite honest and sincere when it comes to your attitude towards working. You are a very simple person, indeed. Absolutely hassle free, humble, and down-to-earth!! That explains the reason why your friends cling on to you! You have a good taste for clothes. If your wardrobe is not updated with what is trendy, you sure are depressed. Popular and easy-going. You have a little gr! oup of dignified friends, all of them being quality-personified.
If you are a Slug : Always up to some sort of a mischief! The mischievous gleam in your eyes is what mak e s you so cute and attractive to everyone. You are an extremely fun-to-be-with kind of person. No wonder people seek your company and look forward to include you for all get-together’s. However, you are sensitive which is a drawback. People need to select their words while talking to you. If someone tries to fiddle around and play with words while dealing with you, it is enough to invite your wrath. God bless the person then!
If you are a Cockroach : Quite contradictory to your name, you are a peace loving person. You best try to avoid a situation wherein you are required to fight. An outdoor person, you dislike sitting at one place for a long duration. You are a born leader, and have it in you how to tactfull! y deriv e work from people. You love being loved and when you receive your share of limelight from s omeone, you are all theirs!!!! Well, well… Hence some people could even take an advantage, flatter you to the maximum and get their work done. So be careful…..
If you are a Parasite : An extremely lovable, adorable person, sometimes shy, with a passion for quick wit. At times, you prefer quietness. You love exploring various things and going into depth of each thing. Under normal circumstances you’re cool but when given a reason to, you are like a volcano waiting to erupt. You’re a fashion bird. People look forward to you as an icon associated with fashion. Basically, you mingle along freely but don’t like talking much to strangers. People feel very easy in your company. You observe care in choosing your friends.
If you are a Skunk : You are near to perfect and nice at heart! . The e xamples of your kindness are always circulated in groups of people. You, too, love peace. You wouldn’t like to retaliate even to a person who is in the wrong. You are loved due to this. You do not wish to talk behind one’s back. People love the way you always treat them. You can give, give, and give love, and the best part is that you do not expect it back in return. You are generous enough. Seeing things in a practical light is what remains the best trait of you guys.
If you are a Bullfrog : You symbolize a very happy-go-lucky approach in life. Whatever the surroundings may be, grim or cheerful, you remain unaffected. In fact, you spread cheer wherever you go. You are the leader of your group of fri ends! and go od at consoling pe ople in their times of need. You dislike hypocrisy and tend to shirk away from hypocrites. They can never be in your good books, no matter what. You are very methodical and organized in your work. No amount of mess, hence, can ever encompass you. Beware, it is easy for you to fall in love….
If you are a Snake : You are mysterious. You are someone who can handle pressure with ease, and can handle any atmosphere without going berserk. You can be mean at times, and love to gossip with your selected group. Very prim and proper. You like all situations and things to be in the w! ay you desire, which, sometimes is not possible. As a result, you may lose out in some relationships. But otherwise, you love to help people out from difficult and tight spots when they really need you.
If you are an Ape : Very impatient and hyper!!! You want things to be done as quick as possible. At heart, you are quite simple and love if you are the center of attraction. That way, you people are unique. You would like to keep yourself safe from all the angles. Shall your name be dragged or featured in any sort of a controversy, you then go all panicky. Therefore, you take your precautions from the very beginning. When you foresee anything wrong, your sixth sense is what saves you from falling in traps. Quite a money minded bunch you people are.

How about you, Jody and Abie?

I was invited by Nice to do the Mommystuff weekly questions. Why not? I think this would be fun!

Do you have routines for your kids? Care to share? Does it really help?
Yes. I do.
I will not post the time ‘coz I’m a bit flexible in this area.

• Upon waking up, I’ll greet her “Good morning!” and will give her milk.
• After milk, I’ll give her a bath (but since my operation, yaya was the one giving her baths).
• It’s her playtime before lunchtime. So if I’m working, her play area is our computer area upstairs.
• Lunch.
• Time for me to go to the office. Or if I’m working from home that day, she’ll continue playing upstairs. But if I’m really busy, she’ll stay with yaya in our room.
• Then it’s time for her to play in the garden. I go down with her to take my break. This was how she learned “Feeee” (for fish) and “Oweh” (for flower).
• She takes a nap late. Around 6pm. (Because we wake up late)
• Dinner.
• Spongebath.
• Playtime around our room (gosh!) till 12midnight or 1am.

The ones that are in bold font are the only ones I get to “participate” in all the time whether I’m working from home or I go to the office.

Yes, i believe routines are helpful. Routines, in my opinion, are foundation of trust for kids. She trusts that when she wakes up, her parent will be there to greet her and give her milk. She trusts that she won’t be alone and won’t be hungry. That it’s ok to play downstairs ‘coz mommy is just upstairs. Or it’s ok that daddy and mommy leave the house ‘coz they will come back later that night.

Thanks Ris for this tag. I enjoyed doing this. Really.
