Excuse Me While I Kiss the Sky

Lately I’ve been learning the lesson of patience. We all know that patience is a virtue and it comes from the heart, from love. Well, starting my baby on solids is my new lesson on patience. I was hoping that I could prolong commencing his supplementary feeds because it’s a lot of work not to mention a lot of mess, but Winston is just too energetic. According to the nurse, he inherited that from me.

When I was little, I was a notorious bad eater (oh how the tables have turned! Now there’s no stopping me from eating!), how did my parents endure me? Apparently, my Father would overcome the problem by finishing off the food I refused to eat. Before he ‘fessed up, my Mum always wondered how he had a better knack of getting me to finish dinner.

Well, patience sure played a part in the creation of this outfit. I’ve been waiting 4 yeas for the right pieces to come along to pair with this blush coloured vest dress. It’s probably a reflection of a bad investment on my part, but to give you a little bit of a back story: I was in Paris, my first visit to the Les Petites store, and the salesperson wooed me into it. So when this butter soft Stella & Minx leather skirt came my way, I knew that the wait was over, and it was worth it.

中文版 最近我在学习忍耐的功课。我们都知道忍耐必须从心里来，带着爱。让宝宝开始吃饭是我现在很实际的忍耐功课。我本来想再拖晚一点再让他开始吃但宝宝太活跃了，护士说因为他太像我了。

我小的时候不太喜欢吃饭，当然现在完全是另一会事了，我超爱吃，而且有的时候还停不住。。。但小的时候我很困难，不爱吃，我的父母一定花了很多的心血，忍耐了我很久。我的爸爸很聪明。但我吃不掉碗中的食物时，他就会帮我吃掉。所以，很久我的妈妈不知道会什么他那么会为我吃。

这套衣服也是由忍耐创作的。我足足等了四年才找到合适的衣服配这条淡粉色的裙子。有可能当初买它就不对，要不然不会等那么久才找到适当搭配的衣服。但四年前，我在巴黎，第一次逛法国著名Les Petites 品牌的商店，更何况店里的营业员很有说服力。但当这条超柔软的Stella & Minx皮裙来到我的衣柜时，我就知道那等待的功课是值得的。
