another bloody affair.
i thought my last entry about jerry is bad enough.. and then last night, this happened.
my heart almost stopped. my mum ran to take some sugar to sprinkle all over the bloody area, while i went to take my phone and snapped a picture of him before proceeding to quickly clean him up. i know right, my priorities.
for a moment i thought he lost a tooth or something with the amount of blood. turns out, he cut his lip with the fall. thank god. he started chewing on the sugar bits savouring its sweetness after a while amidst his crying and i quickly gave him an ice cube to ice the wound, also to slow the blood flow slightly. well, he stopped crying when he felt the ice upon his lips and started enjoying the cold treat instead. i gladly obliged when he requested for a second ice cube.
when bedtime came around, i gave him cold fresh milk instead of his usual warm formula milk as well. anything to make the small kid happy. he kept fingering his wound at random intervals and i had to keep hitting his hand away and keep him distracted.
this morning, he woke up as if nothing happened the night before!
a big thank you to everyone who has shown their concern over facebook/twitter, instagram and whatsapp. the boy is good and still very active. 3 “accidents” over 3 consecutive days. i hope my heart can take a break from all that drama today.
shall end this blog post with this quote, which couldnt be more apt.

Hi there! Thanks for popping by. I'm Cherie, a ftwm (full-time working mum) to 3 lovely kids (2 boys & a princess) and my motto in life is to BE HAPPY. Sure, life isn't all that smooth but it's the mentality that counts, no? This blog documents my life. Or rather, snippets of my life that has passed me by. I love capturing life memories in the blog and being able to read back and laugh at myself (or anyone). I love to eat (A LOT), travel and paint my own nails so the blog is mostly about that. Is that considered lifestyle? Of cos, the family is also very much an integral part of me so there would be loads of memories about the husband and my kids - Jerry (9yo), Jerome (7yo) and Leia (2.5yo) and everyone else that's close to me. I like documenting the kids' milestones, their growing up years, their achievements (and sometimes, mine), and my struggles and battles with motherhood. It sure ain't easy. I love seeking out good food and travelling, is trigger-happy, love new gadgets, love exploring new places and strives to live life to the fullest. I aspire to travel the world as much as I can, to soak in the different sights across the various continents and visit all the Disneylands in the world (almost there!). Have fun reading and do drop me a comment to say hi! Love, Cherie Lim Find me on Instagram.

Ouch, looks really bad!!! Ryan gets a lot of bruises and cuts too – the other night he fell and hit his head on the sharp corner of the table and it bled too! Think it is part and parcel of growing up. Just have to do our part to make it as safe as possible for them around the house.
PS. If it is any consolation, Sean doesn’t fall down very much now!

i fear for his teachers/carers when he starts childcare in 3 weeks. He’s soooo hyper and hard to rein him in. Jerry does look a bit like he’s being abused with the amount of bruises he has on his legs… my (mum’s) house is not child proof at all. my mum is quite an odd ball and love recycling/DIY stuff so it can be quite scary. in that aspect, i’m hoping for the renovations to be done so that i can move soon… then again, i hope Jerry grows out of this phase and learn to listen to instructions!
am also keeping my fingers crossed that jerome doesnt grow up to be as hyper as his brother.

Yup, i jumped from my seat when i saw the amount of blood too.. scary shit. i hope he gets more toned down when he plays as he gets older. am wondering how to teach him the “safety first” mentality when it comes to play.
