I had my share of wonderful and sad weekend this week. Firstly,I managed to spend time with my darling at home as well as at shopping centre. Secondly,i managed to relieve my parents of child caring activities for a longer period of time.
Unfortunately, good things don’t last.
Last night, baby started showing signs of running nose and the nightmare begun. He went to bed at 830pm and ended up awake from 230am to 4am. For someone who adores the luxury of sleep like me, this is totally a nightmare. Baby sticks to me like superglue n refused my hubby’s hugs. Everyone ended up feeling tired. He got so naughty till I decided to give him the cold turkey for 15mins. He wails non stop until he give in n accepted a cup of water. Peace prevails at 4am.
I pity my parents when he goes home tonite… How can they handle him? If not coz I hv class tom, I would hv stayed over to help.
Having a kid is indeed fun n it makes a family complete. But when he / she falls sick, you will find urself screaming ‘why hv a kid to disrupt ur peaceful life!!’
I guess I m still getting used to the part n parcel of motherhood. Just hope Brian will grow up soon!
Had been suffering from dizzy spells n headaches since Wednesday evening. Am I getting old?? It’s just a day of outing with Hubbie but I ended up feeling ill.
Feeling slightly better this morning but not quite well enough to bring Brian out.. Wat a way to spend the weekend…
Ever since Little Brian came into our lives, my hubby and I hardly had time for each other. The Deepavali public holiday that came yesterday gave us an opportunity to go ‘dating’ after 21 months of no-couple-time.
We went to several places yesterday and i ended up feeling more tired than usual for class this morning.
I did not know that Bugis street has grown into such a bustling and lively place. They have 3 storeys of fashion shops that sells reasonably priced clothes from Korea/Taiwan, and even beautiful iphone gadgets.
We also took a train to City hall where we discovered that our favourite HMV and New York New York were no longer at City link. There are also several new shops around Marina Square area.
We no longer feel that we are living in Singapore, everything seems strange and new to us now. Looks like we must go out more often.
Little Brian finally opens his mouth for a few moments this month. He can say ‘candy’ in chinese, ‘car’, ‘train’ , ‘open’ and ‘ook’ (means book). Most of the time, he still babbles in his own baby language or makes sounds like ‘ou-goo’, ‘ou-goo’ all over the place.
The PD did mention that he is on the slow side in terms of expressive language and to monitor his progress till he is 2 years old, but we just let nature takes its own course and see how it goes. Overall, she told us not to get too worried now as she feels that Brian can understand what we say and express his wants in non-expressive ways.
But we will definitely seek professional help if its dragging too long. *cross fingers**
We are enrolling him to childcare early next year (as encouraged by PD), hopefully this will get him to speak more. In the environment he is in now, he is surrounded by adults most of the time; and i think this is hindering his progression in speech as compared to other kids who are enrolled in infant/childcare since very young.
Hope to see progress soon!
