Today Ryan turned 20 months. Wow! how time flies! It wasn't too long ago when he was still bundled in our arms, gurgling n drooling, not making real sense of his surroundings . Now ... he's a super-hyper-active boy who cannot keep a-moment's-still n constantly challenges the boundaries of his parents' patience n sanity.

As I write this, I can't help but feel a sense of pride. We've made it through this far, with our baby. We've had a tough couple of years (even b4 his arrival) but we're still standing. Infact, I think all the chaos in our live has actually made us closer as a couple. Adversity definitely has made our will stronger.

I dun know ... I can't explain it but Ryan was more than just a child ... he was the catalyst that we so badly needed. He cemented our resolve to be better human beings. I now want to be a better wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend and though I'm not really there yet, I know I'm doing my darnest.

OK ... I can't go on too long as my little prince is pestering me for attention (so much for being contemplative huh). With a toddler, you steal whatever time you have for yourself but now mummy-duty calls.

Happy 20 month baby! Mummy n Daddy love you lots! Hugs n kisses!!!
