• my way of keeping my hyper kid at bay.

    I really don’t have the energy to catch up with him these days.. in a bid to keep his hyperactiveness at bay and still keep him occupied with some activity, I put him in the baby chair outside at the corridor.. and armed him with an apple. if possible, dress the baby in old clothes. my son isn’t in old clothes but he has been munching on the apple before that (he grabbed it from the coffee table himself and started munching on it before we realised what was happening) so I just let him be. look at the mess he created.   but surprise, surprise! he devoured 3/4 of…

  • catching his first smile of the day..

    I find it a joy to wake up in the morning, lay in bed and observe jerry till he rouses from his sleep.. and usually the moment our eyes meet…   he smiles.   such precious moments.   this morning, he climbed out of my bed himself, pulled out the water bottle from my bag, sat down and starting patting it like a drum, entertaining himself.   moments later, he went back to my bag and fished out something else. my fruitella bar of sweets. my cheeky little fellow.. and no, you ain’t eating one of those.   am not feeling very well these couple of days, and as a…

  • up to some mischief.

    this morning, he woke up, jumped on the bed, and went…’neh neh! neh neh! neh neh!’ while pointing at the empty bottle from the night before.    and then when I yawned and covered my mouth, he imitated me, with the full sound effects, action and all!   right now, he’s snatching the mop from my mum so that he can mop the floor.   scaling new heights with his toy story car.. sigh. I cant keep.up.with him! super active. Posted via LiveJournal app for Android.

  • childless tonight.

    missing my little bundle of joy. my baby frolicking around my granduncle’s shop in jb   my baby is away in Malaysia for a family wedding for the weekend and won’t be back till tomorrow. we came back this afternoon for a friend’s wedding and baby stayed with my mum since there’ll be no one around when we go work tomorrow morning.   I thought we’ll enjoy the alone couple time much, but I find myself missing jerry a lot. it didn’t help where we had a 2.5yo sitting with us at the wedding tonight.   ah.. separation anxiety. I thought I was pretty cool with it, but looks like…

  • heartpain.

    got home and found my baby with a busted upper lip. ouch.       my heart is bleeding!       apparently he fell from the sofa and landed face down onto the hard marble floor. sigh. does anyone know where I can buy padded helmets for babies? even my pd asked me to go custom make one for jerry because she saw for herself.. how hyper this kid is!       I don’t know how many more of these injuries my heart can withstand further. its so painful to see..   Posted via LiveJournal app for Android.

  • the law of imitation.

    the law of imitation says do whatever you want your kid to follow.   tonight, I wanted to brush his teeth but he didn’t allow me.. I end up holding a toothbrush myself and got him to anyhow scrub his teeth with his toothbrush. except that when it comes to an super active baby, he was running all over with the toothbrush, I was pretty freaked out that he might fall and injure his throat! other than that, he went on with the toothbrush for the longest time, both my mum and me couldnt pry the toothbrush away without a major meltdown.   sigh.   I’m pretty amazed and impressed…

  • a date with Dr. Brady Barr.

    pardon the radio silence on the blog front for the past week. mummy me has been struggling with a full time job (with long hours) and a sick baby with an intense medication schedule and clocking in no more than 4hrs sleep daily. daddy wasn’t around all week but I’m glad to report I’m out in the sunshine now. baby is better (but still on medication), daddy is back and I spent an entire day sleeping away over the weekend so all is good..   except, maybe its my turn to fall sick cos I have been sneezing and sniffing non stop since morning. bah.   nonetheless, we had a…

  • hands free, fuss free. I like.

    good morning. at 430am in the morning, here’s what I have been up to all week. nebulizing my kid.   of cos, it hasn’t been so smooth sailing every single time but I have been much blessed that jerry doesnt struggle against it at all. even when he’s awake.. he’ll sit and stare and try get comfortable. the most difficult is when he is actively awake and move around much. else its been pretty easy and it gets better with experience.   now you know why I have been looking like a panda and very sleep deprived.   next up, getting that cough and runny nose medication down his throat!…

  • my day.

    started at 4am. I jumped out of bed, hearing the toilet door slide open! all that greeted me was a cheeky baby that has climb out of his bed and headed for the toilet to have some water play (gunning for the toilet bowl). lucky for me that I am generally a light sleeper so I jumped out in time before he even got to it.   I nebulised him and gave him his medication and jumped back for a quick nap when my mum woke at 6am.. my happy baby in the morning. with a sweet and a wrapper. no. he isn’t allowed to eat but he knows its…
