Remember this?

It’s still sitting in our house and Fatty still takes a spoonful every day without fail.  I take it when I’m not too full from dinner hahahaha.

I used to take it religiously when I was a kid!  My mom would buy two bottles – white for me and orange for my brother.  And she’d make us take a spoon each every day for general health.  My brother didn’t like the taste of the white but I quite liked it!  So I’d take the white one and feel superior to my brother for being able to swallow it hahahaha.

I bet everyone has strong childhood memories associated with Scott’s Emulsion!

It’s been a part of my consciousness for as long as I can remember… always somewhere in the background and so much a part of daily life that I don’t even consciously think about it anymore.

So when Scott’s invited me to their launch last week I was like “Kaching! We drink it at home!” Hahahaha.

With Scotty! I swear the cutest brand mascot ever look at his dazed smile hahahaha too much.

Come back Scotty! I’m not done with you!

Ok Scotty beamed us up. #pun

The launch was held at Kidzania.  My first time there because I am not a kid (although I may look like one) and don’t have a kid of an age who can enjoy it yet.  But it’s so cool! Miniature everything.

Miniature bank!  So realistic I went in to use the ATM lolol.  I tried to insert my ATM card and the staff there had to tell me “uhhh it’s only for play.” -_-

The launch is for the Momazing campaign!  Moms are the ones who do all sorts of things for us – things we may not realize until we become parents ourselves – and their efforts are usually rewarded not by their kids saying thanks or giving presents, but by their kids achievements and growing milestones.

I never thought of it but ya it’s true.  Every time Fighter learns something new or demonstrates a new understanding it makes my day!  As a new mom (actually new or old parent also the same), I’m always doubting my own judgment and abilities.  Some more get advice thrown at me left and right, and in today’s interconnected world, articles all around chock full of parenting do’s and don’ts. 🙁

But at least his growth and milestones let me know that whatever it is, I must be doing something right.  Even if his milestones are a bit delayed la being a preemie.  But it’s not about when he achieves them, but when he does. ^^

Right now, the milestone we’re currently working on is getting him to walk independently.  He knows how to walk I think, but isn’t confident in doing it by himself! So every day I lead him around the house holding his hand, and trying to let go little by little so he’ll hopefully realize he doesn’t need me holding him to walk.  Hahaha a bit frustrating cos I’ve been doing it for weeks but no dice.  But when it does happen, it will all be worth it.

Anyway Momazing is about celebrating those moments where you feel amazing to be a mom and that we should rest assured we’re all doing the best we know how for our kids!

Also talked about Scott’s Emulsion naturally.  Long heritage yep.  Cos I think my grandparents also made us drink it, so it came from their time too. :O

And what are the top concerns for parents?

True ah true! I’m always worrying whether Fighter got enough to eat, enough nutrition, what’s his weight, his height, praying he doesn’t catch any germs… oh god it never ends.

Then some info on nutritional needs.  Kids need DHA and Omega-3 for brain and visual development, but these nutrients are lacking in our local diet.

Other lacking nutrients are Vitamin D and calcium which are crucial for good growth (oh god is that why I’m so short)

Which is what Scott’s Emulsion packs in that bottle.  #nowyouknow.  Actually I just dutifully took it when Mummy Ooi told us to and never wondered what exactly it’s for – only that it’s ‘good for health’ lol.

They also showed their latest TVC which made me weepy a bit.  Stupid preggers hormones!

It was all about the kids achieving their respective milestones la, and their mothers’ proud gazes.  Made me feel like even Fighter as a little one year old baby is growing up way too fast and soon his milestones won’t be walking and talking, they’ll be getting his first job and married and leaving me. *bawls

Okok enough.

Ended with an endearing ballet performance.  Bump is so going to learn ballet.The return of Scotty!
