I noticed recently my 3 years old doesn’t drink much water, and I can see her lips dry and sometime crack and cause bleeding. So what’s my trick to get them to drink water? sometime if you drink it and they see it, they will copy you. The other way is you can force them to do so, but good luck with that, some kids will cry their lung out if you force them to do something they don’t like :). Drinking water or light fluid is essential from what I known, it’s everybody, not just kids. Water is essential and necessity, can you drink other fluid other than water? off course, but other fluid such as alcohol is not so good for you, it does have fluid but also contain some hazardous chemical, so stay away 🙂 only when if needed such as to party, even party you don’t need to drink alcohol, there are other things you can do have to have fun beside drinking alcohol. Water is the best cures for many things, drink a glass of water first thing in the morning after brushing, then afternoon after lunch, then before you go to bed drink another glass of water, it’s ok if you cannot hold at night, just go, then go back to sleep, but water will help your body operate efficiently and keep it healthy, I’m not a doctor but these are just common sense reminder :).

 

Just got home from my sister’s home, it was my niece’s birthday and also celebrating her new home remodeling. The house is very nice, they did the modeling by themselves, save a ton of money and have many experience to put on their resume for future careers 🙂 lol. Well, they did do a good job. Thanks to them a great day of joking around talking, good food prepared by my mom and them.

 

Just visited facebook, that I haven’t been on lately and haven’t post anything on it for months, and I won’t be posting anything on it 🙂 hehehehheh, if friends and family cares what I’m doing, they would ask, but none of them asking, it’s good and bad. Oh well, maybe I should post that I’m left facebook and have my own blogs 🙂  … nahhhh!!! . Anyhow, at least two cousin that I know will have new born this year, the other two more I’m not sure which cousin, and it’s the year of the dragon, I’m a dragon also base on chinese zodiac, dragon every 12 years I think, I was born in 1976, a young dragon (binh thinh), even younger dragon now heheheh. Wish all them best of luck, which I’m sure all of them are already successful had houses investments and business, basically my grandpa side of the family everyone are doing very well, doctors, physician, engineer, business owners, pharmacist, making a happy large amount of money, they all did through hard work and higher education, and off course going to Church frequently :). As for me, I’m just a typical guy working and helping my family, especially my mom side, we don’t make much money but we’re happy and together, and in addition I give back to the community such as Folding@Home, provided free Audio books Radio News Music for the Vietnamese communities without any ads or asking for any money 🙂 and I’m happy with that.

Love this simple dish, easy to make. Basically I steamed or boil the chicken in open pot for about 30mins boiling, ensure it’s not bloody inside the meat, completely thoroughly cooked. Then take it out for few mins let it cool, then chop it in pieces or  tear the meat off like french fried, then dip with lemon lime salt and pepper sauce. Eat it while it’s warm, don’t let it cool down, don’t like it 🙂 Remember to always eat fresh and thoroughly cooked 🙂 My daughters and wife likes it also, easy to make dish 🙂

I think this is the second time this year that she caught a cold somehow, my wife and I’ve been telling her to wash her hand and don’t stick hand finger into her nose ear eye mouth ect … even though she had a flu shot yearly but it doesn’t prevent all viruses I guess. I haven’t got a flu shot for a while few years at least, but by good practice such as wash your hand when you can, most places (business), now a day have a germ killer hand wash lotion that you can use before entering the store and leaving the store, this should help since the wash lotion does kills some germs, so use it :). A common cold is something as I know cannot be cured, just have to wash it out, drive it out, live with it for a few days to week, even you get a flu shot, it clearly indicate it does not prevent all the common cold viruses, there are different common cold viruses and the standard flu shot does prevent all, but most.

My 3years old daughter Nyla been eating too much snack I think. She had like chocolate muffin, I heard chocolate is good for you, but this muffin chocolate too sweet, and I know too much sweet is not good. Pop-corn, without butter and salt I think is ok. Crackers, it has salt, pretty salty, and too much isn’t good either. Apples is different, it’s the best snack there are for everyone :). How do I prevent too much sweet for kids? simple: hide them, don’t let them see it in plain site 🙂 If I’m with them all the time, I would schedule a every 2 hours snack time, 4 hours meal time, get them used to it. Let them run free.

This morning, my daughter 3years old was sitting with me, I said “oh shoot” then she copied me and said “oh shoot” lol, luckily I didn’t say the eff word, I think the thing about kids are they copied you almost everything you did, they will copied it at one time or another and if you done it too often it will embed in their brain and will keep on repeating it. So be careful what you’re doing in front of kids, including talking and act.
