Does Daddy get angry with you?

Dearest Josiah,

Daddy had an interesting thought while babysitting you tonight. Of course it all started with you making daddy mad for refusing to stay within your bed area. Daddy got really angry for a while, but the anger was immediately vanished the moment you gave Daddy's tummy a tuck..Honestly, you are much a better boy compared to daddy when I was your age..(at least this is what Yeh Yeh said)

I had a flash back of my own life for a moment. Growing up from a young boy to a married man. Making my daddy (Yeh yeh) angry would probably be a countless events to be recorded. Instances where I broke the living room cabinet glass with a basketball at 9, running across the road without permission to buy ice packs, instigating my younger brother to steal from the provision shops are just some which deeply impressed in my heart. Of course, all these ended off with a painful consequences of countless cane marks on Daddy's buttock. Sometimes, I think Yeh Yeh don't love me and all he does is to get angry with me in whatever things I do. But little did I realize all these events broke Yeh Yeh's heart.

Does Daddy get angry? Of course!!! Does Daddy get angry for long? As long as I can remember for my life...Yeh Yeh never got angry with me more than a day.. Does Yeh Yeh remember my wrong doing. I don't think so..as much as he forgives..he forgets..That's how Father's love is all about isn't it? We try to put on a strong front, stern, firm, strict and sometimes harsh. But deep down within our heart there seems to be no memory tank for the wrong doing of our child. Only good ones are kept there. I think that's so about Father God. Does He gets angry or does He feels angry for a long time or does He remembers them?? Well..My last check with the bible..its still says the same thing.."He forgives us and remember not our trespasses.."

Don't have a wrong impression of Dad. I love you with all my heart. When I correct you..It's not that I don't love you. It just that I love you too much...

'What I see my Father does, I do also..."

Daddy (senior secretary) and Josiah (the boss) at work.

Hi Josiah,

Daddy has been experiencing a very stressful period in my life having to juggle with many things. Daddy fell sick last week and had high fever running through for the last few days but now I am feeling much better already. Not able to carry and smell you for the last few days was really a torture for me.

This evening, Daddy felt so loved to have you fell asleep right in my arms. Though it took us almost an hour to get you to lala land. It felt so good and I am not sure how to explain that feeling.

Daddy is so proud of you that you have learn so many things. We love you to teach us how to play 'badminton', how a cat will 'meow', how to sing 'God is so good' with your famous hand movements. Now you are already learning how to walk your first few steps, Daddy has always been observing your progress. I feel so proud every time I see you take that little step. Though you end up falling most of the time. Daddy know each fall will make you stronger and wiser. I am quite sure it's just matter of weeks before you take off with your little feet everywhere in the house. You can do it!!

Together let's wait for the arrival of Mei Mei, Joey. It just another 50 days before the arrival of mei mei. Let's pray for her safe arrival!!

Josiah and Joey are the best gift that God has given to Daddy and Mummy. Just tell us how much God trust and love us in entrusting these beautiful lives to us. Daddy and Mummy love you!

My Learning Journey with Daddy & Mummy

Dearest Uncles and Aunties,

It has almost more than a month since my last posting. I am so excited to share with all of you all the things that I have learnt. Mummy taught me twinkle twinkle little star song with some simple dance move. I managed to learn them really quickly. Though I am still learning how to shake my buttock..I have mastered the hand and finger movement. If you happen to see me around, please sing for me this song and I will show you my dance...hee hee.

Daddy and Mummy have been talking to me about mei mei and say that mei mei will join me very soon. I am so looking forward to have mei mei with me so that I can share my toys with her. I received so many toys during my 1st birthday bash. Thank You Uncle and Aunties!!! I got 3 barney(s) and I intend to give the largest one to her when she comes home to live with us.

Daddy and Mummy, my bed seems to be too short for my legs already..Can I have a bigger bed? I don't mind giving my bed to mei mei cause I want a new one...ha ha..

Anyway I hope you like the picture I posted here. The picture doesn't just show that I am cute..It shows I am a very happy child!!!

God Bless and have a great week.

Love you

Josiah Pok

I am turning 1 soon!!!

Dearest Uncles and Aunties,

I am turning 1 in exactly 9 days time!! How time flies...Daddy told me that I will be a toddler soon and no longer a baby. Should I get daddy to make me a new web page since this is "babypok blog"?? I think my mei mei can start using this blog soon to post her pictures. I will have a pretty mei mei and I can't wait to share with her my biscuits.

O o o By the way, I will be having my first birthday bash next week at a resort. I don't know where is it..but if you can come, please contact my daddy for details...don't forget my present.

Don't you think that I look good in that photo. Daddy wants me to be his shop model so I have no choice...but I think I certainly look cool in the picture...(btw, the apple is fake cause I tried bitting it)

Alright, I will sign off here. See you at my party and I love all of you..See ya

'Kodak' moments with Josiah

Dearest Josiah,

This evening, daddy hid in one corner of your room and observed you playing by yourself. You were so focused in picking up alphabet cubes with your clumsy little fingers and putting them right into your mouth. You caught daddy looking at you; gave me a cheeky smile and went back to your toys. I whispered to mummy "how I wish you remain this way forever" but of course you will grow up to be a fine young man!!

I think I have begin to understand fatherhood in a whole new level today. I begin to understand Father God even more. I understood why God wants an eternal relationship with us. Every moment are "Kodak moments" that can never be erase from our memory. The frustration, cries, laughter, smile, baby talks, little finger touch, army crawls, your attempt to imitate us "ha"; your abilities to learn new tricks like waving are all "Kodak moments" that daddy and mummy will never forget. Each time we see you attempting something new and achieving it. There is an unspeakable joy in our hearts. Daddy don't want to miss the opportunity to see you grow up. Daddy and Mummy promise that we will do our best to be with you in every phase of your growing up journey.Its too precious to miss. How long more can daddy have the chance to change your diapers, bath you in your small tubby, feed you through your bottles? Daddy will treasure these moments...

Josiah, Daddy and Mummy love you.

I Got My Toy Car Car!!!

Dearest all,

I GOT MY TOY CAR CAR!! It's not a dream. Daddy told me that if I pray to God, He will answer my prayer so I ask God for my 1st Toy Car Car. He didn't just give me one but 4 cars. I think God is a good daddy too..He knows how to surprise me beyond my expectation. Daddy also recently bought me a fish tank with 6 red fish. Everyday, we will count the fish together cause I think Daddy is afraid that the fish will disappear. He make me count them everyday. Daddy, we still have 6 fish..

I got a BIG NEWS to tell everyone but daddy and mummy say that I must keep my silence until a right time, not sure why?? But I am very excited and happy cause daddy told me that I am going to have a playmate soon. How long do I have to wait....

Daddy & Mummy, does that mean that I have to share my car car too?

Josiah Pok

Mama, Papa or Kaka (Josiah's first words..)

Dearest Uncles and Aunties,

I have finally learnt my first vocabulary and it's called "Ka".. Though it's my first word, it means everything I want to say. Every time I am happy, I will go "Ka" "Ka" "Ka" the happier I am the louder my "Ka" will be. Not sure why Daddy and Mummy laugh so much every time I do that.

I am coming to 9 months very soon. Every single day has been an amazing experience with my family. There is no better place than to sit on my daddy's lap and have him to feed me with water and apples. And of course, mummy's laughter and expression never fail to put a smile on my face. Recently, my 2 front bottom teeth appeared and I gave daddy a big bite while he was playing with me. I am so sorry daddy...but it feels good giving you a "bite" ...Mummy also agree..

Daddy and Mummy, trust me that I am trying my best to learn how to call you but meanwhile please settle with "ka" it really means "I love You"

"ka" "ka"

Josiah Pok

Josiah will make your day!!

Mummy, I have a question...

Dearest Mummy,

Few nights ago, I was asking God to show me who He was and how much He loves me. God kept quiet for a while and He showed me a picture of you and me taken together. Then he said 'just see how much your mummy loves you and mutiply it by 10 times.' I have not learn maths yet so I asked God to tell me more. He laughed and said "I love you so much that I will give you anything that you ask." 'Wow" I told God: "I want to have my first toy car" then suddenly I was woken up by your voice..."It's milk milk time"...

Mummy, do you think God will give me the toy car? I have not finish my conversation with him yet...

Josiah

I am backed!! Sorry Daddy was just too busy with me...

Dear Uncles and Aunties,

So sorry to keep everyone waiting for my latest post....I was just too busy having a great time with Daddy! As you can see from my expression I am learning to say 'hi' to all of you..Its just matter of time before I can give you a flying kiss...muak muak muak!!!

I have been such a good boy to daddy and mummy (that's what they say..) Never make parenting as difficult as described by all those books and TV show daddy and mummy are watching. Daddy and mummy seems to be addicted to my smell...they keep smelling me when they are back home...but I love it too...Daddy's 'bawu' smells great...heehee.

I am turning 6 months in 2 weeks time. Everything is going on really well except that I had a little flu last week but doctor told me it's ok once I take my medicines. So I never cry when I take the medicines..I know it's for my good. I love it when mummy praises me "good boy" after that.

I want to tell the world and all of you...I have a happy family..Daddy sing this song by Barney to me almost everyday and he can sing it for many many times (he is a great singer but I wonder if he should start learning another song soon..) BUT I never get bored listening to daddy.

Please let me know that you love me by writing to me. I will love to talk to you soon. Recently, I have been observing how you adults speak...my turn to speak is coming SOON!!..heehee..

Have a great week everyone!!!

Fatherhood

Grandfather, Father & Son

Dearest Josiah,

Wow...look at how much you have grown. I am so thankful that you are growing so healthily and giving us a wonderful time caring for you. Well Josiah, do not think that you are only 6 weeks old and you can't teach daddy and mummy any lesson in life. Daddy learnt so much from you over this period and more than that, you make me realised who God is and His love for us.

Do you know that there was a night you were crying and feeling uncomfortable, Daddy was so so exhausted and really had no energy to carry you, I picked you up gently and placed you on my chest. Immediately, as you heard my heartbeat and felt my warm breath, you quieten down and fell into a peaceful sleep. Daddy was so moved at that moment.

I don't think I am a perfect dad, but I know no matter how tired or busy I can be, when you cry out for me, my immediate response is YOU! I think that is how God is to us. Very often, just like you, as we cry out our heart, and think who will come to our help; immediately, God responses. Fatherhood is His nature and His nature is fatherhood. How often do we realise that the moment we "cry out" to Him, we are actually already in His arms, leaning on His chest, His heartbeat comforts us, His breathe tells us He is with us.

Daddy brought you out for the very 1st time 2 week ago. As I carry you in my arms, I was so proud to show you to all the uncles and aunties. "SEE MY SON!!" That very moment, a strong thought struck my mind...once again, we serve a God that loves to parade us. WE ARE HIS PRECIOUS CHILDREN!! What an awesome encouragement that can be!!

Think about this, why can't we call God "Uncle", "Sir" "Mister" and etc. The reason lies in a relationship no other word can replace and that is Abba Father.

Josiah, if people ask me what is the greatest calling a man can possess, I will undeniably say it is Fatherhood

Josiah, Daddy & Mummy love you.

Celebrating My Full Month

Dearest Uncles and Aunties,

Daddy' & Mummy precious Josiah

Dear Josiah,

I want to pen down my thoughts in your blog this morning because the feeling of having you around is too awesome. Many uncles and aunties asked me how I felt when I first saw you and having you around in my arms. To be honest, it's just to much for me to express through any words.

It was an amazing feeling when we had our 1st father and son session this morning "sun bathing" together. I had a picture of you taken in a very cool pose..ha...Yesterday night was also your first night with us and you really make mummy worked very hard. We woke up almost every hour to feed you and change you. I guessed its tough and tiring but seeing you sound asleep each time literally took away our stress and anxiety.

There are many thing God can give us in our lifetime but it is till this moment, I realised that the greatest of all that he can give us beside His love through Jesus is a child. I was talking to mummy yesterday night that I could not fully understand the love of God to me till I am became a father myself. And of course, if the bible says that "even an earthly father can give their children what they need, how much more is our heavenly Father."

Looking forward to spend many days together. We may not be perfect parents but we want to be parents who can demostrate the perfect love of God in your life.

Josiah, Daddy and Mummy love you.
