Second night ...

So tonight is the second night that manfred baby kinda self slept... I would just stay by his side and see him roll back and forth until he is ready for the final touches aka the pat and hum along. 

Still remember it had been a battle the couple of weeks back. How he would cry out loud whenever we tried to pat him to sleep, and he would climb up and down the bed, crawl in and out of his mattress, and simply ignored our call for him to sleep. Until, one day I just sat there and followed his flow. It was better. I just let him do what he wanted too, while I tab tab my phone or just praising him for whatever I could think of. Before I know it, he went to his pillow and grab my hand to pat pat him. Ah, so don't force him, and that's the key. 

Tonight as usual, I sat beside his mattress. I off the lights. He went to his mattress and toss and turned for about 15min, before landing in his decided position for me to pat pat, and he is now asleep. :) 

Phase of growing up. 

Oh, and today I decided to just let him play with his porridge. Ok, it was intended to let him self feed with hand. but it was all in a mess. Himself. The floor. The high chair. It was an eye opener thou. I'm not too sure if I'm gonna let him do it again. Haha. 

I love my boy so much. Too much. 

It's been too long ..

Yeah, it's been a long while. 

Too busy with new house, too tired with chores and of coz babysitting the boy on weekends, he's a big boy now. Climbing up and up, crawling back and forth, learning his first steps to walk. He could like walk 3 fast steps and BOOM! ... fell on the ground. But his one brave boy! 

Had his birthday bash at our new place last month with close friends and family, doing the housewarming all together. 

I'm now an expert with porridge for babies, making different porridge for him every weekend. Not that he could finish everything, he is a picky eater. He puke out whatever he doesn't want to be inside his mouth. Bad bad habit which we r acting on it.

I love this little boy. He sleeps alone in his bedroom with all lights off. But we had a very hard time coaxing him to bed every night for the couple of weeks. It's better now, but patience, behold, still. 

Just caught a flu from his cousins on wed. Brought him to the doc at rivervale plaza sbcc on Friday. After taking the meddy for runny nose, seem to have quite a fast effect. Still runny on Friday and Saturday but at least mucus not much to be seen compared to Thursday and Friday morning. 

The pink syrup been good, and this time round I don't use the syringe anymore to feed him his meddy, I use the spoon that the clinic will always give for syrup. Anyway I haven't been giving him Prospan, unless his cough decides to drop by, but *touchwood* The illadin is for block nose, pretty good but not to use more than 5 days as it causes dry nose thereafter. We only dropped that into his nose when he is sleeping, as he hates people to touch his nose, had a phobia with that ever since a doc goh tried to wash his nose for the first time when he had a flu. Poor boy. Dunno how long this phobia gonna last. 

Anyway the boy is asleep now. While cooking his porridge, I'm just nua-ing on my sofa. When you're a mother, you will know, this is a very simple yet satisfying blissful indulgence. 

Alright shall get ready for gai gai later. Tatah! I so wanna go diaso.
