i see blood.

i meant that literally.

this evening, jerry as usual is testing his limits with his surroundings. i have totally given up on how monkey he is or can be. it must be my active genes or a boys thing.

 

he was playing by himself by gently knocking his head against the wall. he found it super funny. my aunt tried to stop him but he just did it more thinking it was really fun. i was in the next room checking on my mails when i heard was a loud cry and i found him crying non stop. so apparently, he swing and whacked his head really hard against the wall (there happen to have a thin plank against the wall) and he hit the corner of the plank. i went to check on him and thought it was a simple knock only to find a bump and blood.

 

my heart almost stopped. while i could imagine his pain, the pain was intensified on me in terms of an heartache. i immediately tried to ice it, only to have the boy snatching the cold pack from me to play (his monkeyness knows no limit) and.i figured he probably would be ok. i slapped on some zam buk on the wound and reported the incident to the husb.

 

i wish my son was only half as active. just yesterday, he dropped a whole box of bottled bird nest on his toe..

it was so bad.. it was bleeding (skin had a tear, and there was a huge blood clot underneath the nail), he was limping and crying non stop for an hour or more. even when he woke from his nap, the first thing he told me was to point to his tow and said pain pain..

 

when will he ever learn. my heart is so weak now with his daily accidents. my aunt who is over visiting for a week commented that there are so many bruises on him that she cant count.

 

sigh. how could i possibly cushion pad everything to prevemt him from injuring himself so frequently?

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.
