Baby’s lethal weapon

No amount of chinese kungfu, karate, taekwondo etc can help you defend against the lethal weapon wielded by a baby — CRYING

Nothing can be more fearful than that, not even an experienced motorcycle accident attorney can handle the little one if i were to bring Brian to court. I am surprised that I can still keep myself sane, and not spiral deep into depression through the weeks; though i admit there are little episodes of outburst now and then.

If I were to give Brian a nickname, I will name him after my favourite care bear – Mr Grumpy. Look at his tummy, apparently he cries a lot too. ^_^ He really takes after me when i was a baby. A challenge from heaven? Or a little punishment for me after how much I’ve ‘tortured’ my mum when i was young. Oh nooo please…. i am sorry mum :P

I guess years of being amongst difficult and out-of-the-world students does help to cultivate some sort of patience that kept me in check faster.

For the past few days, I had been trying to decipher what his cries means. I even resort to reading books on it.

When a baby cries, it could be he is:

• in pain, sick
• hungry
• bored in his cot
• just want a cuddle
• wet his nappy
• feel hot or cold
• uncomfortable

What a challenge!

P.S : now i wonder why child/infant care teachers are so lowly paid. They should be paid more than engineers! Looking after ONE grumpy kid like mine is equivalent to handling several #### bosses!
